    Jim Davidson isnt actually too bad, neither is Robbin Williams. But the best Id say would have to be either Bill Baily, Chris Rock, Billy Connelly, or Jack Dee. Jasper Carrot can make your sides split laughing at times too.

    if you havent seen eddie murphy in stand up in the 80's i recommend u get his videos
    1) Eddie Murphy : Delirious (thats not spelled right anyway)
    anyways u cant actually get this new anywhere, ive tryed - you can download it on the net though or maybe find it second hand.
    2) Eddie Murphy : RAW (This was after delirious)
    you can get this pretty much anywhere for like €10 or less

    its funny the way theres no delirious and they stopped making them
    and theres millions of copies of raw.....

    o well
    i suggest you try and find some if u aint seen them.

    Ross Noble is one of the best around at the moment. He's playing Vicar St the end of this month.

    Best ever......has to be Bill Hicks really.

    Someone I just recently came across and he's recently became my favourite ever is Larry The Cable Guy. Anyone else know him?

    Ricky Gervais DVD Animals is very funny, he uses David Brents characteristics a good bit but he's very funny. Peter Kay is one of my favs & so is Chubby Brown, he's flithy but very funny!!

    I saw Peter Kay on e4 last night, his routine about dunking your biscuit in your tea fromhis Manchester show. I don't think I've laughed as hard in my life, it was pure quality.

    He gets my vote.

    heh i seen that too.......

    anyone ever watch paramount?

    the live at jongleurs, just for laughs and best of comedy store shows are cool.............
