Jimmy Carr (I can't understand people who find him

He tries too hard to present himself as being funny, stresses punchlines and gives the camera a "now applaud and laugh at me" look too often for my liking.

His stand up was brilliant.

Bill Hicks, RIP

Lee Evens, because he's hyperactive and excitable just like me.

Jack Dee, because he's very dry and sarcastic just like me.

Billy Connelly, because I can relate to most of his humour, plus his toilet humour.

I like to think my personality and sense of hunor is a balanced mix between those 3 and can always relate with them too.

They're all unique in their own way. Can't get enough of any of them

Lee Evans probably, saw him live last year, funny as **** but he sweats like a chimp and looks like one

Zip · 25 Jul 2006 at 06:44

I also like Russell Peters

This is him on his most recent TV appearances down here

Jack Dee
Rich Hall (Otis Lee Crenshaw)
Bill Bailey
Bill Hicks
Peter Kay
Ardal O'Hanlon

Retorted · 25 Jul 2006 at 10:53

Bill Bailey
Rich Hall
Jack Dee
Eddie Izzard
Ricky Gervais
Phil Jupitus

I've loads more, most of them British. You can't beat British stand-up imho

Rich Hall is the anomaly but he's got that great dead pan humour that I love.

Tru · 25 Jul 2006 at 15:08

Peter Kay's best joke was convincing people he could do stand up, he can't. Same goes for Gervais, his routine is so strained it's painful to watch. They are great writers though.

Ross Noble is a funny man, he's like Billy Connelly on acid. Great story telling and very clever structure to their routines despite them appearing disjointed and a bit chaotic.

A guy I used to hate that now cracks me up is Dave Letterman. OK he's not a stand up and probably has a team of writers, but his delivery is awesome.

Frank Skinner.
Ricky Gervais.
Eddie Murphy was also a class act in his time.

Can't stand Peter Kay.

sneakyd · 25 Jul 2006 at 16:24

Jack Dee was class live as was Frank Skinner!!

Too many to pick from but Peter Kay is my fav overall due to his other work as well!!!
