Dylan Moran for me all the way

Dylan Moran or Ricky Gervais. Aquired taste both, but they are my favourites.

Saw Dylan Moran live last winter at the Hammersmith in London. Excellent comedian.

Ken Dodd and freddy star . Class acts. That Lee Mack guy was funny last night on channel 4

John Bishop from Liverpool is very good.

Bernie Mac

[Fluffy Che]

Lee Mack, very funny and so quick witted, also like Stephen K. Amos as a stand up, hilarious. Though his current sketch show on the box is woeful..

Favourites:

Eddie Murphy
Ricky Gervais
Dylan Moran
Kevin Bridges
Tommy Tiernan
Peter Kay
Dara O'Briain (Seeing him on Tuesday and can't wait)

Billy Connolly and Tommy Tiernan are the best I've seen live. Honourable mention for 2 comedians that I think are not funny and yet sell out all the time would be Eddie Izzard and Lee Evans. Cannot for the life of me understand how they are funny!

Honourable mention for 2 comedians I

In a sort of chronological order

Lenny Bruce
Woody Allen
Bob Newhart
Spike Milligan
Dave Allen
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Dylan Moran

[Shrewdness]

Definitely Lee Evans.

[andoireabu]

Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans, Dylan Moran, Colin Murphy, Jim Eoin and Kevin Bridges.  Milton Jones is good on mock the week but a full hour of him might do my head in.

Few i don't like...Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr
