Title: Favourite Comedian/Comedienne
Post by: Wolstenholme on July 22, 2013, 19:15
Mine is definitely between Chris Addison, Michael McIntyre, Rhod Gilbert, Ross Noble and Nina Conti although I could go on for eons about which comedians I like the most. :???

How about you  ^.^?

Hmm...it depends really. I do enjoy comedians who specialise in one liners. There's one who I can't recall.

For one liners Tim Vine and Lee Mack are very good but Milton Jones has a special place in my heart.

Margaret Cho and Eddie Izzard. Eddie's work is a huge part of my teenage years, and Margaret's comedy is a perfect balance between politics and crude humour.

nrrghhshsh yes. 
reeves and mortimer are the best still. 
and ian hislop is fantastic. i love paul merton as well (we need to watch some of the Whose Line episodes he was on aw yee.. and also more Whose Line in general, ive got the next few episodes of the reboot) but ian is my favourite of the two sry. 
armando iannucci and chris morris are also great and ridiculous and so is charlie brooker. 
the fast show is excellent. 
beth one day ill make you watch my posh cambridge footlights fry & laurie comedy aww yeee (they are... also the best yeah. i suck at picking favourites ok).

victoria coren isnt a comedian technically but shes hilarious so shes on this list. 
dylan moran gets the top spot for comedian favourites though. 
 
not forgetting my radio 4 loves... barry cryer, graeme garden, tim brooke-taylor, andy hamilton, sandi toksvig (i want to be her when i grow up), jeremy hardy, jack dee, hennig wehn, arthur smith, john finnemore (writing & standup), miles jupp...

Stewart Lee, Jimmy Carr, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Lee Mack, Dara O'Briain, Eric Morcambe, Ernie Wise, Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, David Mitchell, Alexander Armstrong, Henning Wehn, Tim Vine, Milton Jones, Stewart Francis, Jack Whitehall.

Yeah, I like a lot of standup comedy.
Title: Re: Favourite Comedian/Comedienne
Post by: Laprabi on August 14, 2013, 11:46
No mention of Frankie Boyle? :O

Him and Jimmy Carr. Shocking humour is the best because it's funny to watch people get offended by it.

Post by: Sebastian Moran on August 14, 2013, 14:19
i preferred frankie boyle before his entire act/persona went along the lines of "people find me oUTRAGEOUS so lets keep playing it up" and he kept trying to outdo himself and it got pretty daft. 
and i dont personally like jimmy carr all that much, sometimes hes amusing but overall something about him annoys me.
and yet i watch 8 out of 10 cats because sean lock is one of my favourites and im secretly in love with jon richardson.
 
also i only found out pretty recently that tim vine is jeremy vines brother and i had to lie down on the floor for about half an hour in shock because what.
 
aLSO the league of gentlemen even though theyre not really a league so much any more. but reece and steve have more things planned i think. speaking of which, psychoville was gr89. even if it means that i still call daniel kaluuya tealeaf :(
and reeves and mortimer i heard are doing a new bbc show. ive no idea what that would be seeing as lucky sexy winners didnt work out, sighs... well i liked it. not that it means much haha, though lots of people complain about shooting stars and i think it was still fantastic right up until it stopped.
 
FINALLY can i get a cheer of adoration for Look Around You, and the other stuff that popper and serafinowicz have done since then?? yes good.

Look Around You is still one of the most underrated shows of all time. First series was better than second I thought, just for the gratuitous labeling of the equipment.

Clearly very underrated since I've never heard of it.

On the subject of underrated shows: The Thin Blue Line. Sitcom written by Ben Elton starring Rowan Atkinson and David Haig but I've never met anyone who's watched it other than my family. It's fantastic though.

Thin Blue Line was about a police force, right? I was really young when I watched it, remember it being funny though.

I'm a fan of Frankie Boyle on the darker end of the scale, but also McIntyre at the other end.

Frankie Boyle was brilliant on Mock The Week. But then people wanted him to tone down his act. So he's basically gone on a rampage.

Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer and Ricky Gervais are definitely my favourites, but I'm also a huge fan of Louis CK
