Mr Rabbit Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Depends on the mood I am in but Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard and Lee Evans are my personal favourites. Billy Connolly for rants Eddie Izzard for bizarre thoughts like a death star canteen or historical things like Caesar. Lee Evans for mad-capped hyperactive craziness - retired now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthYENIK Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 All time? George Carlin. Current living/active favorite? Bill Burr. xoC18H21NO3xo, Mister Pink, Majestic81 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John The Grudge Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) My favourite stand-up is Stewart Lee. I find him significantly funnier than any other comedian out there. I love Peter Kay too. Edited February 18, 2015 by John The Grudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Louis CK for me at the moment followed closely by George Carlin. I enjoy some Doug Stanhope too AlienTwo and mr quick 2 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙲 𝙽𝙾𝙽 𝚂𝚃𝙾𝙿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebcreed Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I have UK television here (thank god), so I tend to know alot more English comedians. Here are some that stand out to me: Micheal McIntyre, Greg Davies (he was also in the Inbetweeners), Russell Howard, Sean Lock, Kevin Bridges (my fav.), Rich Hall (he ALWAYS makes me laugh). There are many others but these are from the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore93 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 George Carlin is probably my favourite. Also like Bill Hicks, Frankie Boyle, Doug Stanhope, Bill Bailey and Stewart Lee. Mister Pink and AlienTwo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 George Carlin but among the living Bill Bailey probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebreak Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nick Di Paolo ad Colin Quinn. I love Di Paolo's sleazy middle-age snarky attitude, and Quinns' dead-on insults with obscure yet vivid references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvD4C3jOyYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr quick Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I love Louis CK and enjoy a lot of Carlin, despite the fact that he called Saab a piece of sh*t. I'm a huge Jim Gaffigan fan: Clean humor, funny delivery. I used to watch a lot of Seinfeld standup back in the day. e: oh wait this is funnier: e: oh wait this is even funnier than funnier I gotta buy that Edited February 19, 2015 by Marwin Moody AlienTwo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmoopy Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Isn't George Carlin more of a debater than a comedian ? 90% of his stand-ups are just about political issues, government lies etc etc, I don't find any of those rants funny, maybe i missed the point of the jokes ...

I think that's probably why he's my favourite. I think he was a very wise man who had plenty of important arguments to put across and legitimate grievances to complain about, but did so in a way that was hilarious in my opinion. The dude was a truth teller and way ahead of his time. In these times we're living in where our civil liberties and freedom of thought and expression are being eroded by corrupt governments and the "that's offensive" brigade, we really need more people like him to stand up and tear into these people.

AlienTwo Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The best comedians have social messages. What better way to prove how ridiculous the opposition is than comedy? I love Carlin, and that's why I love Hicks so much too. http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u330/AlienTwo/GTA/PMBO/PBMO%20Porch%20Sig_2_zpsz7irpplx.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unopescio Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Dylan Moran is probably my all time favorite comedian, with George Carlin, Bill Burr, Bill Bailey, Dave Chappelle all coming in close second. Ive never really seen the huge appeal of Louis CK but maybe hes just not my taste. But you cant go wrong with Dylan Moran, had the pleasure of seeing him live a few years ago, it was glorious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hieTxQ0oJPc Star-Lord, Mister Pink, johndivney and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, f*ck that. Not even. Carlin was a straight up bitter, poisoned old coward who passed off social truths as comedy and died a self-loathing misanthrope. Most comedians are the same these days - cowards passing off truths as comedy. Hicks got it right, didn't let the message poison him, he was a gem, but was careless with his health for sure.

johndivney Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Tommy Tiernan has his moments but wont reach legendary status. He is a legnd in Ireland, & rightfully so. One of my all time favourite people. I mean he's funny, but his stuff that specific to Ireland, esp rural Ireland, is actually painfully funny. I remember being a teenager & my sides actually being sore from laughing at him & in particular his bit called 'the Latin class'. I saw him last month or so on his most recent tour & it's the best he's been in a while I thought. It was a smaller, more intimate venue than I usually get to see him in these days & it was just one of the best gigs I've ever been to. I love him. New season of Louie starts next week!
