Favourite comedian?

No sale. It's just shitty slapstick to me, no matter how much running around he does.

I seem to like him for the same reasons, he's a bit of a blur and a real ball of energy which I think makes up for not being particularly original or unique in any way.

However i dont think i can comprehend what you say about him being a great comedic actor. He's a good comedian but in my opinion he's a terrible, terrible actor.

He is funny as fuck in there's Something About Mary.

totally agree, he has so much energy in a set, something which really appeals to me.

I can't watch him in that film. I just cringe. I'm not a big fan of it or Ben Stiller anyway I guess but I actually thought it would have been a lot better without Lee Evans. I couldn't understand why his part in it was as big as it was either.

Did you ever see that show he did for the BBC called So What Now? It was awful but he at least had some scenes where he was given opportunities to do some out and out physical comedy which is probably what he's best at and the fact he couldn't act didn't really seem all that important.

No one tops Demetri Martin. Lately I've been enjoying Zack Galifanakis.

Stewart Lee = legend

Just so you all know.

My favorite is Dave Chappelle. I just wish he would come back to doing some TV appearances again. I mean, I hear he still is doing stand-up shows, but I haven't personally seen anything new from him in quite a while.

I'm a big fan of Ralphie May, fat people unite!

But, the first comedian I saw on Comedy Central is still my favorite, and he is Stephen Lynch. I'm not a huge music/comedy fan, but I think he pulls it off very well.

Most comedians that are high energy, usually aren't funny and use that to distract people into thinking their jokes are funny. Case in point...Dane Cook

Steve Byrne is one of my favorite comedians....I caught one of his specials late night on Comedy Central and have loved him ever since.

Would it be fair to say Michael Mcintyre is one of the best? I think he's terribly funny, I have one of his DVD and the camera man got 3 different people in tears with laughter. Brilliant performer.
