Russell Howard, Michael McIntyre and Jimmy Carr.3

Lee Evans - I just don't get it. I also have to wipe my TV down after he is on... So shiny.
Chris Addison - We get it, you are left wing, hahahahah Tories are shit... Cool.
Anyone who relies on their background as some ridiculous stereotype, eg people who have every joke as I am gay (One of the Carr's cant remember which), I am Asian (Russell Peters)
And as I am on that list, more or less every single female comedian is at best, shit at standup, the humour in general relies on the fact they are female rather than that they are funny. They are there to meet a quota in most cases and not because they have any talent. There are a few exceptions to this, but they are the exception
Stephen Fry - Literally just a diva who likes to throw a tantrum, but like most leftwing loudmouths has been given "national treasure" status meaning he can do no wrong when in reality, he just seems like a bit of a cock who throws his toys out of the pram.
A lot of these people can be funny on TV shows, but on the stand up circuit are severely lacking.
Unfortunately a lot of standup is split into two camps. Either deliberately provocative and trying to cause as much offense as possible for the sake of it (Boyle) or so unbelievably left wing and tolerant (most BBC shows). There are a few that fall outside this realm and are genuinely funny but they are few and far inbetween.
Rich Hall and Jim Jefferies stand out to me as 2 who are exceptionally funny.
A great example is Charlie Brooker, one of the biggest dickheads when he is trying to be funny on standup, so tedious, but Black Mirror is 10/10.1 -
I think Stephen Fry is overatted.0

What channel was whatever on?blackpool72 said:Pretty much all of em to be fair.
Back in the 70s they were racists and sexist.
Nowadays they are mainly bleeding heart liberals.
Give me a good sitcom instead like fools and horses or Blackadder or whatever2 -

Can't believe no one has said Ricky Gervais yet!! I don't agree, just remember it was the 'in' thing to say a few years ago. 'He's just like his character in The Office', 'he's racist, sexist, homophobic' etc.1

As a grade A arsehole though Russell Brand is hard to beat.
Like listening to Chris Eubank.....he's read some books and thinks he's Aristotle.
I wonder what he thinks of the waste of public money at the Olympic Stadium?

If Russell brand is classed as a philosopher these days then humanity really is on its last dregs. The guy is the walking definition of a wanker.SporadicAddick said:

To be fair to Stephen fry he's bi polar, so him throwing his toys out the pram could be his illness manifesting itself.Huskaris said:Lee Evans - I just don't get it. I also have to wipe my TV down after he is on... So shiny.

Charlie brooker I find irritating, but even more irritating is that I actually agree and find what he says funny a lot of the time.
What female comedian was on his wipe last night? She was as funny as the shit I'm taking right now as I write on my phone. She almost sent me to sleep1
