Lee evans is hilarious. How many faces can one guy pull. Look out for a rising comedian to called Ed Byrne from Ireland. Saw him on the comedy store and I nearly wet myself with laughter

Lee Evans.

I don't have any favourites, just a few people that I enjoy more than anyone else:

Bill Bailey - no-one else would refer to the Argos catalogue as a 'laminated book of dreams', or sing about a 'snowflake landing on the eyelash of a startled deer'. He never fails to amuse on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, either.

Reeves & Mortimer - my favourite R&M show is Shooting Stars, which I understand is regarded by fans to be their worst. Oops. But The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer had countless genius moments, one of my faves being the 'Stars for/as their Eyes' sketch with an interesting George Michael impersonation.

Lee Evans - I have to be in the right frame of mind for Lee Evans, as I see him as hilariously funny and a hyperactive retarded spastic monkey child in almost equal measure.

Harry Hill - I can't stand his stand-up, but Harry Hill's TV Burp was a hilarious programme. Unfortunately I don't think there is going to be another series. Aww.

Jimmy Carr - I've run out of energy. Perhaps a simple list would have sufficed. Anyway, Jimmy Carr: hilarity assured.

As if reading through that twaddle wasn't enough, I've probably missed some people so I might have to post again. I am so sorry.

the harry hill show on channel 4 was fucking fantastic
gotta love those badger parades

I'd say 1)Peter Kay, 2)Bill Bailey then maybe 3)Billy Connelly (tho lately I've kinda gone off him a bit, dunno why, think that joke about the guy taken hostage in Iraq pissed me off a bit and I lost alot of respect for him, gay reason but true).

Love Bailey when he did the BBC News tune like it was a rave

Wasnt it just called "Harry Hill" or "The Harry Hill Show"?

Posted by aquinn101 on Mar-14-2005 00:17:

Steve Coogan
Dave Gorman
Peter Kay
Patrick Kielty

A couple of points:

TV burp was fucking brilliant

The person who said Jim Davidson is funny needs to have their balls rolled.

My favourites (stand-up) are Ricky Gervais and Billy Connelly

MY favourite non-standup has to be Rowan Atkinson, the guy is a fucking genius - I still piss myself at Mr Bean.

The Harry Hill Show

Jack Dee
Lee Evans
Jimmy Carr (although his new show's not that good)
Ricky Gervais (well, he surprised me by being funny after I saw The Office)

All I can think of for now...

the big 'YIN' is just the greatest.
