Favorite Stand Up Comedians

Clem_Snide

Two categories - Dead and Alive.

Alive - Can't separate Dylan Moran and Omid Djalili (ignore his TV show, stand up is superb)

Dead - Can't separate Dave Allen or Richard Pryor.

My favourite Alive at the moment would have to be Michael Macintyre,
and Dead.........well pure stand up so you dismiss Morecombe, Cooper etc I'd have to say Bob Monkhouse.

Alive; can't comment, too out of touch. Dead: Tommy Cooper-That's all he had to do, just stand there!

Don't think I'm old enough to have a favourite dead one, but alive I'd have to go with Jack Dee.

Stig

The Living Dead (i.e. used to be hilarious, but have either stopped working, run out of jokes or lost the magic touch):

Steve Wright, Alexei Sayle, Baddiel & Skinner, Woody Allen. And of course, as Dennis Pennis once asked Steve martin: "How come you're not funny anymore?"

Friend Or Defoe

Billy Connelly Alive or Dead!

Sean Locke, Lee Mack & Frankie Boyle.
