Forgot about Micky Flanagan - excellent. ‘Im not going out out, I’m just going out’. I live his routine about the anxious parents waiting at home while their daughter goes out with her new boyfriend - ‘you ain’t gotta worry, we brought her up proper. You know she’ll only be getting fingered on the first date!’
NOVE:
Rhod Gilbert. A man that gets annoyed by so many things, that he must have a HGV licence
Saw him in the comedy store, Leicester Square, about 6 or 7 years ago, brilliant night out, (where I first heard him do the suitcase handle on the carousal joke) not too expensive & you could buy jugs of beer to save you keep going to the bar, which was dangerous, because if the comedian spotted you moving around going to the bar or bogs, you got hammered ! Lol.
As above, Rhod Gilbert. You gotta admire a man who is so angry with the world. I also really rate Eddie Izzard. I once watched on of his routines that he did totally in French, and despite me only speaking schoolboy French he still made it hilarious. Genius.
I like the unusual or plain silly styles of comic delivery. Andrew Lawrence, Reggie Watts, Bill Hicks, Tim Vine, Sean Lock, Josh Widdecombe etc, etc…Women struggle to make a name in comedy, but Sara Pascoe and Roisin Murphy are pretty funny.
Stuart Lee
Frankie Boyle
Not strictly a comedian, but a big fan of Tim Minchin
Jimmy Carr could be a class writer for someone else. Just can’t bear the sound of his voice and that ridiculous “laugh” of his.
Kevin Bridges also very good
so far i’ve been to see mickey flanagan, john bishop, lee evans, jason manford and frankie boyle. best gig of the lot was mickey flanagans funny as… worst was frankie boyle at the assembly rooms derby if you got up and went for a ■■■■ halfway through his gig you wasn’t aloud back in! also his warm up act was better than him. some canadian guy
I’ve seen Dara o’briain and Jason Manford.
