i saw a womans name somehere.

theres no such thing as a female comedian

Shazia Mirza @ the Edinburgh festival v-funny indeed

although you are linguistically correct as a female comic is a comedienne

who? not one of those femenists who arent actually ffunny to anyone except lesbnians? (no offencelesbianns)

everybody. bill baileyss in bllack books on 4 now.

Don&#39;t care, I still love his conferences and texts.

I took the liberty to translate one of his texts. It&#39;s not a funny text but this is more or less why I like Youp. It isn&#39;t exactly a good translation but at least the non Dutch people here will be able to understand what I mean.

Their arms are pointing at the sky
At the 8 ‘o clock news you see the earth burning
The newspaper starts to sting in your hands
But do you put that fire out with a sigh?

The picture of that dying child
Is yelling at us for 6 pages long
Our lips are forming ‘damn it’
But the curse is taken with the wind

Who knows what we have to do?
Do we talk or do we fight?
What’s the lesser harm here?
Or do we just send them some cash?

Their arms are pointing at the sky

At the border there is a long row of strangers
We call them uprooted; what a beautiful word
Millions of terrified people are fleeing
The sky is a red glow
Because of mortars and granates
No more houses, just streets
The earth is drenched with blood

Where are the houses and the school?
There where they taught history
But no one ever learnt...
The diseases are lingering in the gutter

Their arms are pointing at the skies

There they are with their clubs and swastikas
Standing ominous before the shelters
Scaring frightened wretches away
Their schools aren’t burned down?

They can jam the lessons in their heads
And the pictures of the jews and the camps
I thought something happened there once?

But stupidity doesn’t learn a lot
What is going on in those shaved heads?
And who knows how to stop them?
Is Hitler going to be an icon again?
Millions of people are fleeing
And can we still turn the tide?
My grandson will have to learn it from the books

And we...we are pointing at the sky

christ &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; thank-you Bigboo I nearly missed it AGAIN

Stand-up = Peter Kay is an absolute Scream

Actor = Ricky Gervais

These are my current favourites, however all time I have actually cried with laughter at Billy Connolly. I have also done that with Peter Kay, but not as much

[Skweeky]

I actually don&#39;t think many people would find it funny though. I think Youps humour is really Dutch. Most Belgians I know don&#39;t understand half of his texts

I once watched a Youp van t&#39; Hek marathon on tv. 8 hours of Youp, non stop

Ach, ga toch carnaval vieren

[BigBoo]

i cried at the bolton hall one. kind of embarrssing

Billy Conolly..well that&#39;s another Brit that I&#39;m familiar with. I actually liked him though (versus this Eddie Izzard freak).
