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.

more bass
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
saw dara o briain recently, never really watched him on tv but live he was excellent.
jimmy carr is definitely my favourite
We control by attitudes positive mental attitudes not by rules.
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
John Pinette
Daire O'Brian and P.J. Gallagher

George Carlin.

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

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
Richard Pryor is the king of stand-up!!
Also like Des Bishop.
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
dara o briain and pj gallagher are my favourite irish
billy connolly and jimmy carr also
and steven lynch is an american singing comedian of bad taste, think he is very funny!!
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.
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.lucy porter

Jim Carey is brilliant in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ0nvk5N704
I have to say Bill Bailey is brilliant. Saw him once live in Edinburgh and was phenomenal.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Saw Tiernan a few weeks ago and he was close to his best IMO.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Has to be Louis CK.
I used to like Louis CK.
TOWK, I always had you pegged as a Bernard Manning type.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Frankie Boyle and Tommy Tiernan!
Both delighting in their own madness!!!
