Stand up

Who's your favourite stand up comedian of all time...whether it be one you've seen live, or wish you'd seen live??

Eddie Murphy's vintage stand up is amazing - 'Delirious' and 'Raw', what a talent! His Mr T stuff has me in stitches every time. I also really love Peter Kay and I was lucky enough to see the excellent Eddie Izzard in December (wonder if I was at the same show as Molly's daughters?). Of the three, my favourite (I think) is Peter Kay. He's a similar age to me so his reference points are identical t mine and he's the first comedian I've seen where that's the case. Plus I can watch him with my Mum cos he's not too blue!

Peter Kay, Eddie Izzard, Harry Hill ....."fight fire with fire, that's what my dad always used to say and that's also why he was kicked out of the fire brigade". I'd also liked to have seen Bill Hicks, Eddie Murphy (in the raw era) and Bob Monkhouse - controversial selection but a funny, funny man - shame he did so many gameshows.
