    Lee Evans just isn't funny. Hyper and loud does not equal funny. People should tell that to Tommy Tiernan and Jason Byrne too.

    Quite liked the Jim Jeffries show on Comedy Central. So will give him more of a look in. Frankie Boyle is a legend though.

    Agree Lee Evans is muck. Frankie Boyle is great, Bill Bailey, Dara O'Brian too. Eddie Izzard has some great moments too. Check out his "Death Star Canteen" routine with the video done with the lego Star Wars figures on Youtube. Brilliant.

    I wouldn't call them the 2 greatest but very very good.
    I love Mitch's stuff even though most people I know who have seen his stuff just shrug their shoulders.

    Jim Jeffries is absolute muck,
    If I ever want to hear a drunk ramble on about his life story whilst not being funny I'll look him up.

    Lee Evans is surely a Norman Wisdom impersonator.

    Lenny Henry, Bill Bailey, Frankie Boyle, Lee Evans, Russell Howard, Michael McIntyre. They're my favourite British comedians.
    My favourite Irish one's are Dara O'Briain, PJ Gallagher, Tommy Tiernan, Jason Byrne, a fella that I can't think of his name but he has a DVD coming out/out now, Neil Delamare.

    I've a feeling I'm gonna be raped over some of the names I have in there.:o

    I second that! (obviously)

    Bill Hicks is a close second though. Those guys really weren't afraid to rock the boat.

    Ricky Gervais is by far the funniest man alive, IMO.
