Ah, it wasn't hard to do really cos it's only a small theatre and I was in the front row so I just handed it to him and he looked at it and laughed. Then passed it around the audience too

, it eventually made it's way back to me again

Jason Byrne is fecking deadly, went to see him tonight.

Anyone know much about a guy called David O'Doherty? Probably gonna see him next month so will he be worth it. Any good?

Went to see PJ Gallagher in Sligo last night, obviously I knew he was good before hand with Naked Camera and that but the man really is pure funny. Anyone else here see his stand up act? What ye think?

i know this is plural, but apres match. a howl!

**jorge** · 13/05/2007, 7:04 PM

Richard Prior.

**stann** · 13/05/2007, 7:48 PM

Going to see Reginald D Hunter in Kilkenny this year, as he was a brilliant surprise last time out, and he's on with Dara O'Briain who is just excellent live anyway.
My favourite stand-up comic won't be at Cat Laughs this year though, Sean Lock. Pure genius!

i saw him in vicar st a while back opening for tommy tiernan, very funny indeed, really enjoyed him

**citizenerased** · 15/05/2007, 3:41 PM

Think Jason Byrne is absolutely muck..Favourite is Ricky Gervais, Tommy Tiernan used to be deadly but has gone seriously down hill, Like Jimmy Carr also,,

Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown?? Racists the pair of them

**anto1208** · 15/05/2007, 3:56 PM

Poor old tommy teirnan has gone pretty poor recenctly allright . Jimmy carr is ok in short bursts but an hour of just jokes gets boring very quickly .

both Jason and ed Byrne are just idiots far from funny

ricky gervais is good live , Dylan moran is class , but paul Merton is probibly the funniest bloke around at the moment has been for a long time .

Saw him upstairs in the International about five years ago and he was doing pretty much the same stuff he was doing on telly recently.

Also saw him crossing Baggot Street with a girl on his arm and he dresses like that (i.e., bloated sk8er boi) in real life.

**jebus** · 16/05/2007, 1:31 PM

Bill Hicks, then Dylan Moran, then Jerry Seinfeld

Anyone catch The Modest Adventures of David O'Doherty on RTE last night? Dublin to Galway (well two-thirds of the way...) on a bike - funny stuff

ALWAYS carry a spare tube.

We were having this discussion on the Harps forum.

My favourite Irish comedian is Tommy Tiernan and overall Bill Bailey would be my choice. Others mentions were Dylan Moran, Rich Hall, Jason Byrne and Jimmy Cricket.

Just wondering what the foot.ie communities opinions were.
