Yeah fook Frankie Boyle to be honest. I know I know all this "either its all funny or none of it is" response that I hear so often. Well that is bullsh1t imo, and people like to say it like its gospel, it aint . I find a bit of vulgarity funny, but I just dont like certain topics, well 1 topic in particular, he used to get his shock laughs and I think he's a pr1ck for doing it. Just my opinion

Can't believe Eddie Izzard isn't getting more love on this thread! He's a master of stand up, he goes off on ten-minute tangents from the joke but always comes back to deliver the 'punchline' (if there is one) and does fantastic impersonations. Sometimes he can be quite political or topical, but most of his stuff is genuinely comical.

Always loved Billy Connolly, but I'm not sure he ever recovered professionally from the incident several years back, where he made a joke about the British hostage in Iraq who was being threatened with beheading.....

Eddie Izzard and Tim Minchin for me.
Maybe I just like men who wear makeup.

I watched the standup he has on Netflix and, although decent, I couldnt help but think "whats all the fuss about?"

all time, Billy Connolly and Eddie Izzard

Tommy Tiernan definitely for me, he had a bad period a few years ago, but went to see him a while ago and he is back to his best. Has me in stitches every time.

krudler · 29-09-2013 08:21PM

Louis CK, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Christoper Titus and Eddie Izzard for me

The Big Smoke · 29-09-2013 08:22PM

All Time: Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Pryor, Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle, Eddie Izzard.

Current: Milton Jones, David McSavage, Stewart Francis.

Call Me Jimmy · 29-09-2013 08:25PM

Dave Chappelle is the only one in recent years who makes me laugh and makes me think.

I haven't watched as much of Richard Pryor as I should have but he is infectious.

Bill Hicks during my formative years led me down the path of questioning. I don't actually laugh at his stuff anymore but I appreciate what he was doing.

biko · 29-09-2013 08:29PM

Izzard and Chapelle

oppenheimer1 · 29-09-2013 08:29PM

Michael McIntyre is easily the best comedian around and one of the best of all time.

At a push, current favourites would be Jarlath Regan & Dylan Moran.

All time favourite Dave Allen & a nod to Eddie Murphy in his stand-up days.

Kev_2012 · 30-09-2013 06:24PM

Frankie Boyle, Bernie Mac, Steve Hughes, Ed Byrne can be brilliant sometimes (Alanis Morrisette joke is genius)

Real Life · 30-09-2013 06:29PM

George Carlin, louis ck, stewart lee, bill burr and dave chappelle

I am pie · 30-09-2013 06:31PM

Favourite is Dylan Moran, then Richard Prior. Least favourite is Frankie Boyle.

I am not into listening to some bellicose fool engaged in a campaign to push the boundaries of what is acceptable or not. Saw him in Dublin and he seemed to make more effort in being outrageous than he did in making people laugh. There were a succession of Jade Goody cancer jokes. Dull and in poor taste.

MonkeyTennis · 30-09-2013 06:46PM

Mitch Hedburg

Peetrik · 30-09-2013 07:00PM

IvaBigWun · 01-10-2013 04:04PM

Should a good comedian make you think as well as laugh? For me all the best ones can do both

SuperGrover · 01-10-2013 04:30PM

First in a few years to crack me up is Doug Stanhope...

That's funnier than anything McIntyre has ever said.
