Comedian Recommendations

on bbc there was an british/indian comedy, one guy had the catchphrase 'kiss my chuddies'. cant remember their real names because they ended up on eastenders as the postman and his overbearing wife.

lee evans, he's just for laughs.

bill hicks dated quite badly, too much political stuff. I WANT YOU TO GO FIND A F SOUL, who remembers that live show with the drunk girl.

yeah i dig ari stuff, seen two specials that have made me laugh a lot. his show This is Not Happening is great too, Diaz, duncan trussel, Maron, Ari, joe rogan etc etc etc..

holy fuck this guy makes me laugh. his other two stories are killer. love his style and delivery

 

Big Jay landed a 1-hour special on comedy central slated for later this year that I'm really looking forward to. I'm only really familiar with him through hearing him on podcasts, a handful of clips I've seen on youtube, and the "this is not happening" clips, which were great. Apparently he has some crowd-work album(s) out but I haven't heard them yet. Overall he seems like a naturally funny guy.

If you like Big Jay Oakerson you should definitely check out the video podcast he does with Luis & Dave (both mentioned in that video), "Legion Of Skanks". It consistently has me laughing until my abs hurt.

I don't know much about comedy, but of the few comedians I know and love most have been mentioned here (Mitch Hedberg, Bill Hicks, Dave Chappelle, ...).

Been meaning to check out some more Carlin for the longest time as I like what little I've heard but never investigated further. Richard Pryor, too.

Has no-one mentioned Norm Macdonald though? I admit that I'd struggle to explain what's so funny about him myself but I can't be the only one who thinks he is or was hilarious surely.

Saw Stewart Lee's new show in Edinburgh the other week, was the first day of a one-month run, so some of the material was a bit rough around the edges, but the first half killed, not as good as the last time I saw him which was towards the end of the run.

Bill Hicks,

Doug Stanhope

Henny Youngman, king of the bad 1-liners, still funny as f*ck........

Norm Macdonald is still my favorite stand up and probably does some of my favorite TV /interview appearances as well

Norm does uber-dry absurdity to another level

when i were a lad Jackie Mason was THE man....

(much newer concert, still funny as fk doe)
