    Andrew Maxwell is definitely the best of the Irish at the moment, although Dara O'Briain is consistently good, specially live. I mean really consistently. I saw him twice in one night last year and he was brilliant both times!
    Also Karl Spain is hilarious just as a straight stand up, especially when in front of an English audience.
    Love Frankie Boyle in stand up and Mock the Week too. F**ker will say anything!
    And Steve Hughes also brilliant. "I was an angry young man, but you've got to eat."

    Rather than rehash more names that have been posted before, many of which are top notch (but Eddie Murphy?? Seriously???!!!), some of the best lesser known acts that ye should definitely check out if you haven't already include Michael McEntyre, Simon Evans, Rhod Gilbert, Mark Watson, Reginald D Hunter, We Are Klang, Stewart Francis, Glenn Wool, and the brilliant Ben Bailey.

    Bill Hicks is a legend, top man

    Tommy Tiernan too

    Peter CooK. I will never forget when he was doing a skit on Clive Anderson show years ago, pretending to be england football manager...pure genius

    PJ Gallagher,Karl Spain and Jason Byrne are very good live

    Really liked Neil Delamare but he was poor live,Tommy Tieren is the most overrated comedian ever.

    John Collery is my favourite,hes a local and MCs at the main comedy place in Sligo
    RIP JOHNNY

    George Carlin.

    "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

    "The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”"

    Jim Carrey. Watch some of his stuff from Living Colour and you'll see how funny he is. Here's a classic Seinfeld ****-take.

    i was pleasantly surprised to see george carlin mentioned here. His intellect and humour are unmatched, and that is not an understatement. Check out "offensive language" and "abortion". Extremely good.


    lucy porter
    i have seen her twice, at least i think its her ive seen twice ( if she is the one who mentions the joke about being a catholic growing up or something like that). I saw her 2 years apart almost, and she was still using the same jokes 2 years on..... Thought she was very poor to be honest, also comes across as very nervous on stage.

    I have to say Bill Bailey is brilliant. Saw him once live in Edinburgh and was phenomenal.

    Saw Tiernan a few weeks ago and he was close to his best IMO.

    I used to like Louis CK.

    TOWK, I always had you pegged as a Bernard Manning type.

    I think Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson are reprehensible pigs.
