Off Topic Favourite comedians.

Don't think Rhod Gilbert has been mentioned yet. He's good.

 

Half of his material revolves around the fact he's not white, its boring, he's not the first non-white comedian, he needs to try and do something original.

 

Donald Glover was great, he doesn't do stand up anymore but when he did I really enjoyed it.

 

I got an email from a ticket website offering buy one get one free tickets for John Bishop, I really hope that means his popularity is declining, people have finally seen sense.

 

He does a lot of political stuff which I find funny.

 

Simon Evans, very funny.

 

Stephen Colbert.

 

I liked Hicks at the time, but his routines haven't aged well. Doug Stanhope is the man.

 

Yeah I think Hicks is really formulaic. If he was still alive nobody would go on about him.

 

I like Hicks and do think he's funny, but he's one of those comedians who seems to make good and poignant points when doing his routine and it's his take on things that I end up remembering as opposed to his jokes.

 

Oh aye, I agree with a lot of his views. I just don't think he's funny.

 

Paul Eddington, Derek Fowlds & Nigel Hawthorne from Yes Minister/Yes PM.
Brilliant teamwork.

 

Yeah but I think because he's so clever a lot of people like him anyway even if they don't laugh. It's like watching an interesting lecture.

 

Indeed.

 

McIntyre is utterly appalling, should be against the trade description act to call him a comedian.

 

Women love him though.

 

I agree about Bradley Walsh, great host, superb in the Chase.

 

Had he still been alive Bill Hicks would have been as brilliant now as he was then - he didn't really tell jokes, he just ripped the **** out of bureaucracy, the extreme right, bible bashers + umpteen other supposedly untouchables of the establishment ....... can you imagine his take on Trump and the parlous state of the US? He'd have turned it into comedy gold.
