He's hardly the same since he sobered up and moved to Amerikay ... but I still shelled out crazy money to watch him in Killarney in a few months. :pac:

Harry Hill and Bill Hicks. Comedy legends.Love 'em.

orestes

Gotta agree with Trout over Pinette, funny as hell
Connelly isn't as good as he was but he's still the Godfather of stand-up
Used to be a massive Hicks fan but realised recently he isn't as funny as I thought, just clever and I agree with a lot of his opinions. Still a legend though

Normally I would say Eddie Izzard, but I don't think a transvestite is in the bgrh ethos, so I'm going for richard pryor

Diairist

I didn't know there WAS a J Pinette. Watching him on You Tube. He's brilliant.

Given the risks he took, I'm for Richard Pryor. Jimmy Carr's 1 liners have me ROTFL in no time.

Awesomo-4000

Bill Hicks is a legend, cant beat watchin him with a few cans!
Of the newer generation i like Andrew Maxwell and Tommy Tiernan (although kinda gettin tired of his routine now)

Mr. Presentable

Groucho

Jimbo

Chris Rock.
Fave Irish, probably Dara O Briain
Hate Jason Byrne

Diairist

Jason Byrne should be sent home with a note saying he's not allowed back and his gloves on wooden sticks inserted you know where.

Steve hughes, the most underrated funny baxtard I've come across!!

Definately agree with that. Didn't wanna say it cos hardly anyone knows who he is, but the man is a bloody legend! His gig at Tripod a while ago was the best comedy gig I've ever seen (and I watch a loooot of comedy)

Gillo

Jimmy Carr. yes there are possibly funnier guys out there but I love his sarcasm and barrage of one liners.

Daemonic

Ross Noble, if you get a chance to see him live don't miss it, the man is totally insane.

Santa Claus

Bill Bailey, his live shows are brilliant.
Used to think Tommy Tiernan was hilarious but all his shows kinda seem the same now.

Might I suggest that any brother who nominates Dave McSavage should be expelled from BGRH and shot with a ball of their own sh*te ?

For anyone else on here who doesn't know this guy go onto youtube and look at his stuff.

Dylan Moran
Billy Connelly

Greg Proops is brilliant. I think I mentioned at the first beers that I'd seen him live, completely different to how he is on tv. I still can't believe no-one else knew who Colin Mochrie is.

Ginny

Dylan Moran
Bill Bailey
Eddie Izzard
David O'Doherty (but you can only see him once)
Dara O'Brian live is good.

I hate hate hate Tommy Tiernan, Andrew Maxwell and Jason Byrne.

Oh God I hate him so much. Have never laughed at anything he's said. Same goes for Ed and Jason Byrne and that tool Maxwell.

As for the good ones,

Billy Connolly
Stephen Lynch (youtube him if you don't know him)
Ricky Gervais with his podcasts
Early Peter Kay before the novelty wore off
Colin Murphy
Frank Skinner

Krieg

I can't decide between Billy Connolly and Dara O'Brian

Billy is a legend and Im pretty sure I have all his dvd/video/cd's at this stage.
But Dara is a true comedy genius, I really wish he kept doing the Panel as it was the only reason to watch it.

dr.bollocko

For me, the Pub Landlord fella is a legend for a few beers on one of his live DVD's. And Dylan Moran is largely untouchable, better and more consistent than possibly any other stand up. Then there's Bill Bailey. I mean the stuff he does just blows my mind!

Dylan Moran

Nothing too spectacular.:D

In agreement, Mochrie is extremely funny and pa trout must also be credited

ibh

Richard Pryor
Al Murray (even though he loves ripping the dick out of anything thats not English)
Demetri Martin (although his set is quite limited i think he is very original and I really love deadpan humour, which he does v well. If you haven't seen him, youtube him.)
