Question Your favourite comedians?

[badwolf]

So I've been watching a lot of comedy lately. I love Australian comedians like Adam Hills, Wil Anderson, Carl Barron... And lately I've watched some of Ed Byrne, Michael McIntyre, Ricky Gervais, Russell Howard. These guys are just plain hilarious.

I havent seen much American stand-up, 'cept Louis C.K. who I also find quite funny. The way he goes on about his kids bahaha..

Who are your favourites? Oh and if you also like the comedians I've mentioned, any other recommendations?

I have never laughed as hard as I do when I watch Russell Brand. Ellen's old stand up stuff is also hysterical.

 

[HalloweenRain]

The only stand up I can really get into all the way, is Brian Regan.
I do enjoy Nick Swardson, and SOMETIMES Daniel Tosh.

 

[TheAnnointedOne]

I love Russell Brand! He is absolutely hilarious!! I also like Michael Macyntre! I've also been watching a few old stand ups like Richard Pryor - he's soooo funny! 🙂

 

[Firefly]

Dai Henwood, Steve Wrigley and Heath Franklin's "Chopper"

 

[This Year's Girl]

Sara Silverman! Funniest person alive! OMG, I laugh so hard when I watch her standup 😀 I also think Dara O'briain is really funny, especially when he talks to the audience. As far as swedish comedians go my favourite is Nour el-refai, she's hiliarious and makes really clever and well thought out jokes.

Ricky Gervais is definitely my favorite comedian, I also really like Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher and Sarah Silverman.

I'm not familiar with a whole lot of the stand up comedians these days, but of the few that I do know, I would have to say that one of the funniest at the moment is Barack Obama. He comes up with some of the most absurd, outlandish, totally laughable ideas that I have ever heard of, and he manages to keep a straight face through the whole routine. After him would have to be Hilary Clinton, just about the biggest joke around I've seen since Bill retired.

Bill Bailey, Ross Noble, Rich Hall, Frankie Boyle (but not so much anymore) early Eddie Izzard, Micky Flanagan, Russell Kane, Alan Carr, Sarah Millician, Tim Minchin, Milton Jones, Sean Lock, Jack Whitehall... I watch a fair bit of standup so I can't be fussed to list alll that I like but that's off the top of my noggin' atm

[Kean]

Tommy Tiernan, Dara O'Briain and Dylan Moran. Three legends!

 

[brinkster130]

I really enjoy Mitch Hedberg, Brian Regan, Steven Martin and Ellen DeGeneres.

 

[kittenpoker]

Dave Chappelle, Ellen Degeneres, Lewis Black, Harlon Williams (mostly cause he calls everyone in the audience pet names like, "sweetheart" and "cupcake")

One of the funniest things I heard was from some comedian I have no idea who it is - was just flipping through the channels. Here's what he said,

"I was driving with my friend and I asked him if he minded if I turned on the radio and if he liked a particular station. The friend said, "whatever, I don't really like music" and the guy looked shocked and goes, "Do you like colors???"

for some reason I just love that.

 

[BuffyElevated]

I love Katt Williams, Daniel Tosh, and the Blue Collar comedy guys. 🙂 Bill Engvall is my fave out of the Blue Collar guys.

this kind of thing happens to me all the time!

 

[PassionBecoming]

Well, I don't really watch any stand-up or anything, but people who can usually get me laughing: Ellen Degeneres, Adam Sandler, Joel McHale, and Bill Engvall.

 

[Washburne]

Ellen DeGeneres, Jeff Dunham and some swedish ones. I probably need to be educated a lot when it comes to stand-up comedians.

 

[Buffy Summers]

I'm not a big stand up person, but I'll always watch Dylan Moran if he's on. I also saw an EXTREMELY funny act by Adam Hills.

Graham Norton is also hilarious but not exactly stand up.

 

[Thamior]

I absolutely love stand up comedy. Favorites would have to be Mitch Hedberg, Demetri Martin, Stewart Francis and, of course, Steven Wright. Joke-oriented comedy rather than story-oriented, but that's what my list breaks down to. Why? This is why:

"On the other hand... you have different fingers."

OR

"I went to a restaurant that said they served "breakfast any time," so I ordered French Toast during the renaissance."

I always laugh at Alan Carr but I also like Russell Brand and Frankie Boyle (although not so much now after seeing him live last year).
