Best Stand-up DVD's

Mighty_Mouse

Hey all,

I'm looking for some ideas here for Stand-up comedy fav's.

Can people list their favourite Stand-up Comedy DVDS?

MrJoeSoap

Ricky Gervais - Animals (The show itself is quality, but the bonus commentary he does on it had me in stitches)
Des Bishop - Live at Vicar Street (Aint bad either)

Basq

Tommy Tiernan Live
Tommy Tiernan: Cracked At Vicar Street

Both are great!!

Tusky

Tommy Tiernan ones are fantastic. Bill Hicks is great too !

Stench Blossoms

I went to see Tommy Tiernan "Cracked" in vicar st and bought the Dvd there last week and i wasnt impressed...i thought he left a few of the really funny jokes out...cant remember any off the top of me head tho..

evillive

try and get your hands on some of henry rollins' spoken word stuff

pure class ' live at luna park' is the newest i think

well he has this one about an englishman an irishman and a scotsman and its sooooo funny i dont remember how it starts though

you should go to one of his shows, seems most people at the shows laugh when he starts talking, i think its funny, i class that as comedy

the_syco

Billy Connolly

Velvet Vocals

Robin Williams - Live from the coliseum... he's totally off his head but it's fantastic
Also I was never a fan of the show but Jerry Sinefield live from New York is the funniest stand up I've seen in a long time, the dvd is called telling it for the last time and is region 2 so you'll have to decode your dvd player but it's simple enough to do and is well worth it!

You could also have a look at Bill Baily, very good!!

Tommy tiernan
Des bishop
Denis Leary
and last but not least, Billy Connelly!

Okie

Henry Rollins: Musician-cum-comedian
Seen his stand-up once, was pretty good. Stories about his own life and experiences.

Eddie Izzard- Glorious
Bill Hicks - One Night Stand
Lee Evans - A few different shows of his are good.
Billy Connolly
Chris Rock
Just getting in on Peter Kay at the moment, recommended to me by me ma!

Agent Smith

denis leary...

****ing genius

BolBill

Ricky Gervais live is painfully unfunny, avoid it bigtime !!!!

Get Bill Hicks or Doug Stanhope.

avoid the following

Des Bishop: one joke merchant.... gee, isn't Ireland different (and therefore bad)... god i couldn't say enough bad things about that w****r

Jack Dee: likewise, but his joke is; i hate everything

ardal o'hanlon: i'm very innocent and a bit thick

robin williams: some of his stuff is funny, but he always gets all apple pie throughout

Zombienosh

Billy connoly - World tour of ireland england and wales
Eddie murphy - Raw
Eddie murphy - Delirious
