Andrew Maxwell

Haven't seen Tommy for a while but d like him. Also Dara O'Briain and Neil Delamare

AlmightyCushion

Pat Shortt

Dylan Moran is brilliant but clearly not as brilliant as Brendan O'Carroll going by the poll.

nesf

Moved from AH.

Ghost Train

Neil Delamere

me... *waits for laugh*

Tommy Tiernan been my fav for a long time, but there's more competition these days, Neil Delamere I find really funny... Dara O Briain great on tv shows, but maybe not as suited to stand up, tommy is mad when he gets going

ROCKMAN

No Dylan Moran hmmm.
so I'll say Pat Shortt.

Pj!

Neil Delamere

We have a great bunch of comedians. Dyan Moran is great but i'd have to stick with Tommy Tiernan. Going to see him again in 2 weeks, should be good!

Catari Jaguar

Tommy Tiernan

I would have voted Dylan Moran, or does Des Bishop count? Sure we've practically adopted him. They'd be my favourites

I think Tommy Tiernan has become a bit of a smart arse recently, trying for the shock value on easy targets (like the Church) and just SOOOO LOUD!

Scoobydoobydoo

Andrew Maxwell

Yes, I'd have been tempted to vote for Dylan Moran if he'd been on the list. I have a couple of his dvds which I really like.

mickrourke

Pat Shortt

Yup Dylan Moran from me too, thats 5 votes for Dylan.
He would be in the lead if he'd remembered to apply.
Probably too drunk at the time

Pat Shortt

David O'Dowd.

Karoma

Ardal O'Hanlon

Tommy T. for me (Except for the American business... )

Why? He predicted that Tommy Tiernan would be the winner of the poll and he is in the lead.

Neil Delamere

Tommy Tiernan for me. But why is Dylan Moran not there? And Brendan O'Carroll is?? B.O'C is about as funny as a trip to the dentist.

themadchef

Neil Delamere

Tommy Tiernan for me.........a christmas day dvd regular in our house.

grames_bond

Ardal O'Hanlon

i opted for andy maxwell, the guy is just an "everyman" comedian, and he is probably the most naturally funny and nice guy on the list (yes i have met him)

i would have gone for dylan moran aswell!

DARGH BROKEN MAGIC!!!

Zapp Brannigan

Pat Shortt

No Dylan Moran or David O'Doherty makes me a sad panda

AlmightyCushion

Pat Shortt

SNL

Does anyone rate Dave O'Dowd? I've only seen him do the warm up but he's definately a chuckle farmer.

grames_bond

Ardal O'Hanlon

the mother****in DoD is funny, but imho only as part of a show, like fullmooners or a kilkenny show, but i dont think he could keep me interested for a full hour and a half show! funny tho, but no maxwell or dylan moran!

Galvasean

Ardal O'Hanlon

Voted for Tommy and Andy

Sinfonia

Pat Shortt

Dylan Moran for me

Don't get Tiernan's appeal at all

prospect

Neil Delamere

I havn't seen much of Dylan Moran, and his good result in this pool has raised my eyebrow. Maybe I should give him a chance. But then I read this post:

If Moran is in the same category as Bishop, then you people should be ashamed. If there was ever was the definition of a contradiction it is 'Des Bishop', i.e. an un-funny comedian.

While we are on the subject, who voted for Ed Byrne!!!!!

And as for Andrew Maxwell, what a load of crap he is. Did anyone see him on Tubridy? I swear if he said "Man" one more time, the TV was getting a half full cuppa thrown at it......

Deep down, I am a happy person.

xzanti

Ardal O'Hanlon

I only saw him for the first time on Tubbridy on Saturday night.. but I think Andrew Maxwell is hillarious :D

grames_bond

Ardal O'Hanlon

dylan moran is the funniest, i agree that des bishop isnt funny, its one joke spred out to an hour and a half! definatley see dylan moran!


i have to disagree with you on maxwell tho, i have seen him 4 times now and live, he is a legend!he is heavily censored on rte tho!

Okay, I'll agree to to give Moran a chance, however Maxwell is a non-runner for me.

Fair?

Earthhorse

You should definitely check Dylan Moran out. Took me a while to warm to but he's genuinely funny and clever.

Also, no Sean Hughes or Dave Allen? This poll is funnier than most Irish comedians.

hotspur

Pat Shortt

Dylan Moran is the greatest comedian Ireland has ever produced. If we lived in a thoroughly fair society then mentioning Des Bishop in the same sentence as him would be a criminal offence punishable by a custodial sentence and a good kicking.

thats ok with me, im not here to push my opinions on anyone and while i disagree with what you say i will defend to the death your riight to say it!!

at least we hae opened your eyes to the genius that is dylan moran....."monster" is recorded from vicar street and he is all over the place, "like,totally live" he has it more together but all together for him is all over the place for anyone else!! both hysterically funny tho!!

Trogdor

Ardal O'Hanlon

Torn between Andrew Maxwell and Dylan Moran, in the end i voted for Maxwell, hillarious.

Pye

Pat Shortt

Dylan Moran ftw!

I used to like Tommy Tiernan but he's gone crap in my opinion. It's too scary watching him now.

It was a toss up between Delamere, Dara O'Brian abd Maxwell.

Dara O Briain

Has to be D O' D

Andrew Maxwell

Neil Delamere is my current favourite, he's just class. Saw him at Vicar St earlier this year and he was amazing. Was at the panel last week and he was presenting so warmed up the crowd too and he was brilliant.

Tommy Tiernan used to be my favourite but haven't really heard anything of his recently.

An up and coming one I really like and have seen several times at smaller venues is Derek Ryan and he's a lovely guy too, I hope things work out for him

Basq

Torn between Tommy Tiernan and Dara O Briain.

Wasn't a huge fan of Tommy's latest show.. but he's more material to fall back on than O Briain. But Dara is just consistently funny in interviews and has a natural presence at presenting. The guy is uber-talented!

But i'm yet to see Dara live. Have his DVD but haven't got a chance to catch one of his gigs.

Oh.. and off to see Neil Delamere on Wednesday. Have high hopes for him.

King John V

David McSavage, Ardal O Hanlon and the gang from naked camera legends!!!!! Although the comediens on this new show I dare ya aren't bad.

do you mean the full gang? as in ALL of them, because thats kind of in the wrong thread if you did!! :P

lucyburn

I think Brendan Grace is hilarious.
He's a real showman, I've seen him live about three years ago and can't wait to see him again

King John V

well okay. 1.) PJ Gallagher 2.) Patrick McDonnell and 3.) Maeve Higgins in that order. does that count?:)

gillyfromlyre

Has to be Brendan Grace, hes a national institution, the hubby is always impersonating him and his acts, hilarious stuff

King John V

Hey Gillyfromlyre.
Did you ever hear the Brendan Grace gag about ordering duck in a chinese restaurant when drunk...classic.

maeve higgins shouldnt really be a part of a thread on irish MALE comedians should she.......SHOULD SHE?!?!

King John V

ha ha. Okay you're not going to let this go with me are you?:p So just for clarity- all that I said before minus Maeve Higgins, not 'all the gang' as alluded to in my first post as this includes producers, directors and other staff who are not nessecarily male comedians although to be very pedantic they may well be, but without further information I cannot suggest so conclusively.

That's every conceivable angle covered, so, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW GRAMES????:rolleyes:

grames_bond

Ardal O'Hanlon

very happy, thanks for clearin that up!!! haha
