I found myself wondering about this while scarfing some old Geo. Carlin for the archives; I've sure got my faves-Carlin, Pryor, Williams, etc., all the Gods of comedy, but Jake Johannsen makes me lose it, I think EDDIE IZZARD is gonna attain "Deity" status soon, he may turn out to be the best of all.....
He already is the best comedian around.Quote:

Billy Connolly comes close, but his humour's a bit less classy, ie. a bit purile in places.
Lamsey-
You're right on about Connelly- I like Eddie Izzard, though, because he's obviously got a background steeped in history, and in any case is intelligent almost beyond description. And terribly QUICK-I've watched 'em all, going back to Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, etc., and I've never seen anybody like Eddie, not even close. Neither can I remember ANYBODY going an hour and 45 minutes without repeating or even taking a breath. I believe the term "tour de force" should be re-defined.
I prefer Billy Connelly, probably cause we have the same sense of humor. But I also like Jack Dee just dry sarcasm.
Billy Connolly was ok until his beard went blue for the lotto lol
I watched Lee Evans live a week or so ago...
He was fantastic..wow that man can swear !! and sing !!
I went to see Peter Kay in Blackpool a few weeks ago but up until then I couldn't stand him (I only went because my mates bf was ill so I had his ticket). Now I think he's one of the most funniest comedians around. I think you'd have to see him live to appreciate his humour more.
I dont even know who Peter Kay is lol
I must go look now as I am so nosey !!
Got to be Billy Connelly, he makes the simplest of things funny
He's the small chubby guy from Phoenix Nights PICQuote:

Are we talking only about Brits because I said Eddie Izzard was a genius?
no, but you asked who was everyone's favourite comedian, if their favourite happens to be British then he\she are not going to put down an American.Quote:

Yip, so he needs a sense of humour :D
OK, to back up some Americans Bill Hicks is very good. But really Eddie Izzard is the best I know of. That stuff about the cats drilling behind the sofa (if you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about ;)) - soooo funny! :lol:
Yeah, he was at that Aberdeen game at Pittodrie <_<Quote:

Yeah-yer right-Eddie it is.
I like his takes on religion-"building a speed boat"!
:lol: :lol: And toasters and showers! :lol: :lol:
Sarah Silverman is the best (stand-up) comedian out there. She's been called prejudice/racist, but she is very consistent. She attacks every race, culture for their flaws. Even her own, and she is hilarious!!
George Carlin , is my fav comedian... :lol:
Gumby gives rise to another question (I feel a thread change): Sarah Silverman is hilarious; but why does a comedian HAVE to be a minority to make fun of minorities-why are they not limited to satirizing their own? And why, if you are not a minority, can you satirize ABSOLUTELY NO ONE?

Okay...
I am from the Netherlands as you should know by now, and i really like Hans Teeuwen!!
A stand-up Comedian in Holland!
He's the best there is and sometimes makes people think he must be really crazy!?
He's not! He's just an amazing natural born talent!! :D

Lamsey-you're right, I couldn't figure out how to type in Connery.
As an Eddie fan, I now believe it imperative I learn how to type in Mason, also. Any ideas?

Cant believe you forgot mr bean and george bush
Re: Mr. Bean-
Rowan Atkinson gets votes in a comedic role (Blackadder I,II,III,IV), but this poll is about comedians of the stand-up variety.
Dubya doesn't qualify; he's a politician, and on top of that, he's just not that funny.
