I try and look at Stand Up Comedy in the same way I look at music. Are they original? Do they inspire me? Is this of genuine value?

Peter Kay is like Coldplay. Decent at first and ticking all the obvious boxes. Now recycled, boring and unoriginal.

If Peter Kay were a band, you would hate him.

I do hate Peter Kay

Kevin Bridges, hands down. The guys stand ups are ****ing genius. Can't wait to go see him next year :D:D:D:D.

Ed Byrne's worth a mention, if only for this bit alone;


Ed Byrne slates Alanis Morissette - YouTube

What? No Eddie Izzard? What's a matter with you all?



and if anyone has ever impersonated fruit better then they are a genius:

Heh. I love Eddie Izzard.

Bill Hicks, Lewis Black, Daniel Tosh, Norm MacDonald, Bill Cosby, David Cross and the incredibly underrated Greg Giraldo

Izzard is great. The routine in French is outstanding.

Mitch hedburg is awsome!!!


I also love Tim vine...

I'm hoping that someone has bought me Stewart Lee's stand up DVD where he goes off on a 45 minute rant about Top Gear for Xmas.

And series 2 of his Comedy Vehicle which I missed on TV :(
