Best: Rob Brydon, Steve Coogan, Bill Hicks, Steven Wright, Mark Thomas.

Speaking of which.... http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/steve-coogan-confirms-plans-for-much-delayed-alan/213334
The Mid-Morning Matters series was hilarious. Fingers crossed this finally sees the light of day.

Watson is a great shout, been going for years and a genuinely funny guy.

Out of the current crop I like Doug Stanhope and Dave Chapelle.
Bill Hicks, George Carlin and Richard Pryor will always stand out, different class really.

Deffo Doug Stanhope.
Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian
The Unobstructed View
Went in Christchurch (westpac arena just after it opened), the mrs boss paid for the whole factory to go and partners, couple of jars and a big ice cream at the intermission.
YIN spends a lot of time in Diamond Harbour as his mate lives there apparently.
Hate.... Tarby, Boardman, Bishop and any others of that persuasion.
Funny... that aussie that goes on Mock the Week, Milton jones.
Rook
Player Valuation: £80m
Best: Chris Rock - I think he's the best ever by far.
Other good ones: Daniel Tosh, Bill Mayer, Hicks, Schemille, David Spade, Robert Wahl, Don Rickels, Gilbert Godfried, and Howard Stern (if he counts)
Worst: Gallagher - the man has no peers. This topic should be the worst comedian not named Gallagher.
Can't decide about: Carlin - his is older stuff is really funny but he turned into one of those "I'm really going to say something shocking now" comics late in his career. When you pretty much do that you are a) not shocking b )just annoying and not funny

What did Billy Connolly say about Ken Bigley? Although I absolutly love it when comedians are as evil, as un PC and as controversial as possible. Why I like Frankie Boyle. He doesnt give a ****! Also you should check out this guy Ari Shaffir. Oh my god he's hilarious. He's the guy that does 'The Amazing Racist' videos for those that have seen him. He takes the piss out of EVERYONE which is how the world should be. Also check out him taking down a heckler. Brilliant.

You hate Ross Noble... but you like Jo Brand? Weird, really. Jo Brand is the female equivalent of Jack Dee, except with 1/10th as much material... and crap material at that.
Mentioned him earlier. He is quality. A great, offensive, ballsy standup and he also has his own TV show, a bit like Curb, simply called "Louie" which is ace as well.
Love him. He's a genuinely funny man because half his stuff is improvised, which is something I dig.
I could kiss you, mate. Hammer meet nail.
Doug Stanhope is good, in small doses. But yes, Hicks, Carlin and Pryor are true legends.
Love Brooker and Tim Minchin's good too. At first I thought he was a bad Bill Bailey rip off (similar weird hair and musical element!) but he's really quite funny, and I wish more comedians would incorporate music!
Nice. Reginald D Hunter is good, Sean Loch is decent, Gervais is good (a bad film actor, but a great comedy writer; both TV and his early stand up), Stephen Merchant is severely underrated as an actor and underappreciated as a writer, Rich Hall is awesome as well.
Dave Spikey is tired, Lee Mack is annoying, Lee Evans is even more annoying... and I really just don't like female comedians. They usually play on the fact that they're female comedians far too much. That said, that Geordie one (Sarah something?) is okay from what I've seen... still not great though. It's a shame, because some of the funniest people I know in real life are women, but men lead the pack in comedy.
