Ed Byrne at 73? Fecking Rubbish. Bill Hicks should be number 1 although Billy Connolly does work off the cuff at all his performances. I was House Manager at the Theatre Royal in Norwich when he appeared there. He played a 7 day set and never repeated a story. Now that is class. Tim Vine (100) is absolute w@nk Russell Brand (69) is just an arrogant arsehole that relies on getting laughs through profanities. Most of that list are satirists, not comedians so the whole list a a crock of ****! If you want to see a proper comedian go to 'youtube' and type in Jim Jeffries. Can't believe he isn't even considered to be in the top 100
This isn't a matter of opinion, this isn't a matter of taste... I can prove this on a f*ckin' Etch-O-Sketch! And the thonged bathing suit sketch - Even the Pope's going "but you can see their asses Bob"... Bill Hicks = Comedy genius! Chris Rock's Tossed Salad sketch is funny as owt though...
what a shambles Comedians what comedians Harry Hill, Jack Dee, Billy Connoly, what rubbish in the top 40, Victoria Wood FFS. Doddy Freddie Star, Al Reid, In fact any of the comics from the 'Comedians Show' were better than them all. even Bernard Manning. who had some nice things to say about some of them
don't worry, i think next weeks is top 100 blokes in dresses and your in that one - though Eddie Izzard still beats you
Sean Hughes. Went to see him and couldn't understand a word he said so I've no idea if he's funny or not!
My mate saw Doddy and said he was fantastic He did a show for nearly two hours then came back and did at least another hours encore
