    dara o briain is by far the funniest, i have seen him 3 times and he is pain in your stomach from laughing funny.
    went to see jimmy carr cause my friend liked him , i had never heard him . just as we were walking in he says ,this guy is pretty offensive be prepared , and he was , my god oh he was , but what wasnt offensive was very funny
    went to see des bishop twice 1st time good 2nd time awful , absolutley embarrasingly awful.
    going to seinfeld in june , hope he is as good as i expect, being seinfeld is my favourite show of all time
    love the old billy conolly stuff also

    Sam Kinison at the Arie Crown Theatre in Chicago @1988.

    There is no one who has ever made me laugh so hard in my life. He was sacrilegious, politically incorrect, and then he pulled out a Les Paul guitar and rocked the house.

    Another one for Emo Philips. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

    For anyone who likes Dane Cook, look up Greg Behrendt. Cook consistently rips off his stuff and does a terrible job of it. Behrendt is actually funny, check out his podcast (That I have nothing to do with at all).

    Also, didn't see him mentioned, my favourite newish comic is Mike Birbiglia. Has me in tears listening to his CDs. Honest, self-effacing humour. Not shocking-to-be-shocking, just a really pleasant guy telling you about all these dumb situations he accidentally puts himself into.

    I like Bill Burr, he has a small role in Breaking Bad for any fans who might recognise him

    Billy Connolly has to be the King of Stand up
    Saw Dara O'Briain in Vicar st in Feb and was very dissappointed. Not very funny I'm afraid and was very fond of him:(

    Wish I was old enough to have seen Eddie Izzard when he was still dressing as a woman

    Ricky Gervais's standup is pretty good, not a fan of his tv stuff though. Sean Locke is also very good.


    I'd have to be nailed to the chair to watch Ricky Gervais.

    I'd probably enjoy having the nails hammered in more than listening to him.
