stand up comedy

[plopalog]

if you could put on the ultimate stand up show which 3 comics would be in the show mines as follows,

3, billy connolly
2, peter kay
1 and top of the bill LEE EVANS

now if you come away from that show with your sides intact im sorry but your clinically dead

[unruliejulie]

plopalog, i would pick exactly the same 3 as you! Did you see Lee Evans on the Telly the other week! i pi$$ed myself!, i would put Peter Kay top billing though!

[spudqueen]

I think I agree with you with numbers 3 and 2 plopalog but the top of my bill would be Jeff Foxworthy who is in Blue Collar Comedy in the States. If you've never seen it look out for it, especially the 'you might be a redneck..............' jokes.

[wonderwoman1]

mine is the same as you plopalog but in reverse...i would put the big yin at number 1, peter kay then lee evans

[whiskeysheri]

Ooh, definitely Lee Evans, then Peter Kay and then Jimmy Carr.

I went to see Lee Evans twice in December and it was amazing!!! Went with the bf and then took my little brother for his birthday- he had tears streaming down his face.

Jimmy Carr is absolutely hilarious. Went to see him filming 8 out of 10 Cats a little while ago and he's just so quick-witted. Off again in a few weeks and I can't wait! x

Lee Evans - just absolutely brilliant!

Dylan Moran - saw his stand-up show on tv a few months ago - very gigglesome

and i'd struggle to choose for third: Eddie Izzard, Peter Kay or Ron White

[littleoldme]

3. Dylan Moran
2. Ross Noble
1. Bill Bailey

I'd also be greedy and have an American guest star that I've just found on www.youtube.com - a guy called Stephen Lynch, who sings hilarious, near-the-knuckle songs in a voice that makes James Blunt sound masculine (which just makes them even funnier).

[texol]

Bernard Manning, Roy "Chubby" Brown and Jim Davidson. no no not really, try Lee Evans Peter Kay and Jeff Green(i dont think he swore once which is rare these days.
