No im not deirdre, but i agree with you, Barry is very funny!

Alany, thats a nice long list...Billy, sure he has been on the Late Late Show more than anyone else, so we can add him there as an honoury Irish comedian.

Kold

Billy connelly..I wish he was Irish then we truly would be the funniest people in the word ever

Agreed! If there was a race for unfunny females she would run a close second to Fiona Looney (her what's on The Panel)

As for other comedians:-

Ardal O'Hanlon (Excellent)
Tommy Tiernan (Ditto, although his stuff does tend to get repeated)
Jason Byrne
Does Denis Leary count, he's half Irish and all that?

youdecide

ye i think Dennis counts. Hes good

Yavvy

I can prolly list more..

youdecide

Kold i can list more than

Dylan Moran and Tommy Tiernan are the only Irish standup people that I find really funny, the rest of them are pretty woeful if you ask me. Jason Byrne? I can't claim to have ever seen a standup show of his but that show he had on RTE a while back made me f*cking nauseous. Brendan O'Connor from Don't Feed The Gondolas is probably the funniest Irish comic I've seen though, even if he is totally up his own hole

youdecide

oh ye Brendan O Connor was ****in brilliant

Yeeesss.... see, thats why the part of my post says stand up and excluding TV shows. Which makes your point in a less elaborate maner.

Jason Byrne does a pretty good sand up show, its generally 90% ad-libbed and the material pretty much centres around anyone unlucky enough to be sitting in the first two rows....

Paddy20

Bertie Ahern T.D. is da breast, because you left out my townie; Conal Gallen !.

P.:p

Hmm, tis a toss between Tommy and Ed.

Theres something about Deirdre O' Kanes voice that wrecks my head.

Nih, going for Tommy. His Navan show was good.

God Deirdre O'Kane is fucking shite.

Cake Fiend

Deirdre O'Kane is not funny. Her voice also drills through my head.

To be honest I can rarely watch an Irish stand-up comedian without feeling some sort of projection of embarrassment, although Ed Byrne can come out with a few gems.

youdecide

why does everyone hate deirdres voice. I think its very irish!

robo

Deirdre tries to hard to be like Pauline McLynn when she did Mrs Doyle! But Deirdre's voice is more annoying!

It's not very irish it's very annoying the combination of that and her not being one little bit funny makes her being even an option on the poll funnier than most of her jokes.

shurl

Her voice sounds like shes been on 40 major every day.

Nasty!

Ohh someone has a hangover!

IMO the best irish comedy at the moment is anything by Barry Murphy and the Apres Match team. Did you see him in the guise of a poet (can't remember the pseudonym he used) on Dunphy last week? Priceless!!!
The gift grub team on Today Fm come a close second for hilarity. Roy & Jay are just brilliant.

youdecide

ye the Gift team are brilliant.
The bull island team are good aswell
