I thought that youtube clip was OK. Certainly not the least funny comedienne I've ever heard.
The worst ever are that Brendan O Carroll and Lee Evans. I'm actually scowling as I type because I don't like even thinking about them.
Ed Byrne doesn't bother me as much as he seems to bother some of you.
I saw one of the girls who used to be in the Nualas a while back. Can't remember what her name was. Oh my God - she bombed.
I thought Mc Savage was hilarious the first time I saw him - 5 yrs ago maybe in Temple Bar Square. Now, after seeing him umpteen times I can't stand him. Its so not funny any more.

I'll give him another chance so - but if he's still crap, I'll be coming after you!

i am not responsible for the abilities of one dave mcsavage! if he is good: you are welcome!! if he's ****: its not my fault!!

no seriously tho his new stuff is very very funny! well worth a look! this time....he doesnt have a guitar!

Anyone with half an imagination can do that joke well. I can't believe I watched that clip either when I knew how **** it would be.

her's is actually one of the worst takes on that joke, you need to listen to Gilbert Gottfried, billy connolly or bob sagets versions, they put silverman to shame!!

I think Neil Delamere is totally overated. Anyone who laughs at themselves before they even say anything is sure to disappoint..I mean..take my ex husband...no please, take him..... narf narf narf:D

The late great Dave Allen was class....very very clever

I cant stand Delemare, There's just something about him, makes me want to kick the teeth off him. I think Andrew Maxwell is great on the panel. But I'd be reluctant to see him in a stand up show

I'm a fan of Sarah Silverman and think she's one of the best female comics out there.
I've only seen the first 3 of the episodes of her show but I absolutely loved it.

Ben Elton. He's some knob. Reckon there is a painting somewhere in the attic of his house thats slowly gotten more liberal over the last 20 years

I think Ben Elton is an amazing writer. But his stand-up is horrific. He ran out of material once Margaret Thatcher lost power.

Blackadder was terrific. But the guy is a complete tuen coat. He was very anti establishment. Then 10 years later he;s hosting the royal varirty proformance brown noising the queen.


On another note, when I went to see the Aristocrates. Some clown brought his girlfriend along. Who ten minutes in starts getting very loud and abusive towards him and walks out

Múinteoir

Jason Byrne and Ed Byrne. People with the surname 'Byrne' should not be comedians it seems.

Whatever about certain comedians' humour, the constant comparing of them to cancer on this thread is starting to get very hackneyed and just a bit macabre. Just say you don't like them.

The irony of someone on this thread calling Dara Ó Briain a West Brit and then not being able to spell his Irish language name is priceless. Daire O'Brien? Now that's comedy!

ah now that is a bit harsh! ive seen jayo three times now and im a big fan,his crazy rants are just amazing and he knows how to deal with the crowd and people sitting in the front row (he spent 20 mins of a 40 minute set rippin into me....funniest show ever!! )

ed on the other hand i am not AS thrilled about, ive seen him twice and he is OK but nothin overly special! when you put his live stand up against some other comedians it doesnt really (excuse the pun) stand-up against them!!

Ah will ya get away out of that, it was nowhere near that long

in response to the comment that all male crossdressing comedians are unamusing:

http://www.tinac.net/

looks like he should be awful but I saw him live and he was hilarious.

Eddie Izzard has one show that is very funny too.

I agree with most of what has been said in this thread otherwise.
Except about Billy Connolly - he is very funny.

eh it was man, it was at least half the set, he said it to me after the show! it was easily 20 minutes, not all in one go, he kept comin back to it!

Same thing happened when I brought a girlfriend to see it. She thought we were going to see the Aristocats and couldn't believe that Disney would make a film like this!

CountryWise

In my opinion Jason Byrne does a very funny show, as does Tommy Tiernan!
Ed Byrne i just dont find funny,Dara o Briain is quite funny!

unreggd

deirdre okane and sarah silverman are deadly!!!


sure most people nowadays dont know what funny is

tards!

Jo Brand

Dara O'Brian
Ed Byrne
Jason Byrne
Andrew Maxwell
Alan Carr
Vic Reeves
Bob Mortimer
Al Murray and
Harry f*cking Hill, the ultimate w*nker

Someone mentioned Frank Skinner earlier. I think his older shows when he actually was young and immature are absolute gold. Haven't seen much of his recent stuff though.

Shouting and making funny noises doesn't cut it.

Sorry 'Shooting Stars' just p1ssed me off no end. Horrendous programme so I can't overlook that.

you like billy but dont like tommy? and you like colin murphy but dont like maxwell?! strange! and btw "stephen lynch" good choice my man, he was supposed to play here during the summer but he couldnt get booked....no venue were willing to risk booking him, and the catlaughs refused to book him because they dont "do" musical comedy!

Reading this thread makes it clear that one man's food is another man's poison. What you think is funny, is very subjective. But a common hatred of Ed Byrne seems very consistent throughout!

so true, i feel sorry for ed tho because he is NOT the worst comedian otu there, he is certainly funnier than maeve higgins, and michael redmond (well his new show anyway) and russel brand, and phil nichol!

Ya McSavage is the worst of the worst, a paragraph from wikipedia

David is generally disliked by the Irish public. Those who have seen him perform (either in public or one of his inexplicable television appearances) and those who have had the misfortune to meet him in person, have often described him as a deeply unpleasant character. It has been said that, in both public and private, he uses bullying tactics and a hugely misinformed definition of humour to disguise the fact that he is a profoundly insecure individual who suffers from a complete lack of social skills.

who says wikipedia isn't accurate lol

Oh, I enjoyed that. I just watched the gorram idiot make a tit of himself on the LAte Late. I'm glad to see he's hated by everyone else.

As pointed out before Dave McSavage penned that article.

its not hard to edit wikipedia, which is why you see very positive insites in relation to fianna fail, the tds edit it, and mcsavage rips the piss out of himself.....he uses shock comedy to offend people and the people who laugh at it is all he cares about, he does have fans!

Well I didn't think this was the thread for it, but...
Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Doug Stanhope, Steve Wright, Emo Phillips, Dave Chapelle... and early(ish) Jack Dee.
I suppose it's unfair to say other comics suck, since it's largely subjective and a matter of taste, but these people have found their way to my funny bone where other comics have failed.

Have to agree about Jack Dee not being nearly as funny as he used to be.

I don't find comediennes funny - apart from some Jewish ones. But generally women don't do funny very well.

i partially agree with you, the majority of the mainstream comediennes (and most of the non mainstream ones) are $h!t, but check out wanda sykes, best female comedian out there!!
