Just wondering. What are people’s favourite comedy shows and comedians?The shows are different in America I assume (some will be shown in both countries), but mine include:
-Ricky Gervais (the office, extras, live shows)
-Alan Partridge (episodes, knowing me knowing you, the day today…)
-David Mitchell & Robert Webb (that mitchell and webb look, peep show)
If you have never heard of these, I suggest you look them up on youtube for a guaranteed laugh 
.
So what are yours?
Richard Pryor, back in the day, like “Live on the Sunset Strip”
George Carlin. He’s not only funny, but intelligent, and he knows how to use the english language!
Jerry Seinfeld
Steve Martin; again, way back when he was a standup
Here’s a list I found: (I’ve bolded the one’s i like best)
Mitch Hedberg.
Todd Barry.
Nick Swardson.
Louis Ramey.
Zach Galifianakis.
to name a few…

Thats a good point. Eddie Murphy puts out some awesome films - big mumas house… the nutty professor…
I’ve never heard of a single one you’ve mentioned, except maybe the last one; he sounds familiar. Are they “up & coming” comedians? The one’s I listed are world famous and all are household names. They’ve paid their dues and have had amazing success. I guess i’ll have to search youtube for the names above and check them out. EDIT I do remember Zach Galifianakis! HE is pretty funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qy9KvDtI5w

Mitch cause he is just the best.
Dane cook.
Demetri Martin.
Richard Pryor.
To you like parties honey? I sure do Richard. Then climb up my leg and have a ball. Priceless.
.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Dane Cook is not, in my nothumble opinion, funny. He randomly interjects cuss words and exaggerations into his skits at the opportune moment to elicit laughs.
I’ve seen a funny skit or two from Mencia, and I loved a huge list of Hedberg one-liners I read awhile ago…but that’s about it. I don’t watch much TV outside of the nerd channels.
No one’s said Jamie Kennedy yet? B-rad is crunk.
Who said anything about T.V. Alex I have most on my computer I like the cd’s better normally. I guess you could think that way about Dane, but I still like him whatever suits different people comedy is not one size fits all.
Is it just me or can we all agree that Mitch is one of the best seems like everybody on here likes him.
The late Linda Smith
Jeremy Hardy
Andy Hamilton
Paul Merton
(Shal we play “spot the radio 4 listener”?)
And Laurel and Hardy.
But the funniest and most absurd of all: Head of Human Resources at my employer.
Can’t believe no one listed Steven Wright…
Steven Wright
