I think this has its place amongst our threads. Occasionally people post some beauties in You Laugh You Lose but that is for all things funny. This thread is stand-ups only..

I'll kick it off...

Bill Burr..

:lol: Jim Jeffries is fucking awesome.

Big fan of Bill Baily, Dennis Leary, Adam Hills, Akmal Saleh, and the black english fella whose name escapes me. :lol:.

I honestly can't stand Dave Hughes or Carl Barron.

It's not Lenny Henry is it?

:lol: Thanks! haven't heard of before and not sure why? Maybe too rude for television. This is exactly why I started this thread. To highlight funny comedians.

Louis CK. There's A video of him speaking at George Carlins funeral that made me appreciate just how dark and funny he is and respect all comedians that get into stand up as a career.

Jim Jeffries is my favourite, but did we actually just go 19 posts in a Stand up thread without mentioning Mitch Hedberg?

He's pretty crass and brutal. Very harsh, very rude, very un-PC. But absolutely brilliant delivery. Australia's answer to Jimmy Carr.

My top 10 comedians (in no particular order) would be:
- Jim Jeffries
- Jimmy Carr
- Dylan Moran
- Bill Connolly
- Wil Anderson
- Donald Glover
- Adam Hills
- Mitch Hedberg
- Bill Hicks
- Lois CK

I wish I'd actually been old enough to see Mitch and Bill live. They're two of my idols.

No Bill Bailey. Disappointing. Having seen both him and Dylan Moran, I think Bill Bailey is slightly better. The whole musical aspect helps.

Stephen K Amos? Been meaning to see him at the Adelaide Fringe for a few years now...

Bill Bailey is a superb musician and a funny guy. But I don't think he's on the same level as the rest of the guys I mentioned. His act is amusing in a different way. Likewise, I'm a big fan of Christopher Titus...but I wouldn't consider him one of my favourite stand-up comedians. I regard them both as general 'entertainers'.

Fuck off sir!!!
That is EXACTLY what i was going to post when i saw the thread :lol:

I'm seeing Alex Williamson next month at the Comedy Festival, over the last couple of years I've seen Dave Thornton, Lawrence Leung and Sam Simmons and rated them all.
Don't really have a favourite stand up though.

Love this thread! Got tickets to see Danny Bhoy. Adam Hills is tops as well.

Disappointed Adam Hills didn't do the comedy festival last year...I'll probably cough up for Anderson, Hills and Sammy J.

Surprised nobody has posted any Steve Hughes. Cudos to Afo for introducing him to me. :lol:

Saw Wil Anderson at the Fringe this week. Great show, but had no idea about the problems he's been having in the past year.

Problems?

1966 Mustang stolen, identity theft, osteoarthritis and the lump on his neck.

That's a pretty shit year. I'd heard of the car getting stolen but none of the other stuff

The identity theft was ages ago. It'd happened before I saw him last year.

Well he was going on about what a bad year it had been for him, so maybe I just assumed the identity theft was a part of it.

Well his attempts to make it in america seem to be not working out at all :lol:
