maybe
it's definitely not that that tubby pound shop version of peter kay on 8/10 cats though.
Frankie Boyle
I would love to see this guy on QI.
he's incredibly funny.
but it's all just saying something that he shouldn't say. shock value comedy really.
this
but he is really funny. has he done stand-up?
He's doing shows this year
might go see him.
Yeah
Really funny, but it's mostly "shock value" comedy- very good at ad libbing though.
here:
http://www.ents24.com/web/artist/24118/Frankie_Boyle.html
on that line-up
the Mighty Boosh festival looks pretty damn good.
Yeah
it really does
I'm going to the boosh fest
for all the ace comedy I cant wait. I really wana see Frankie Boyle, Robin Ince, Jossie Long, Aj Barker, Ross Nobel and Garth Merenghi but I have seen those last two before Ross lots he is amazing.
Pretty much
he's very, very funny.
Hoping to see him when he plays P'boro this year.
^seconded
I love him.
Gone right off David Mitchell though,series 5 of Peep Show has killed the love for me.
ive gone off paul merton lately
he just goes for the cheap laughs by saying something random. Same with bill bailey.
I get the impression Paul Merton can't be arsed any more.
im not surprised
they have done 35 series or something.
He is still funny though.
who are you seconding?
Frankie Boyle?
yep
I hate him!!
i'd agree with Sean Locke.
I think Russell Howard is pretty funny though. As he gets a bit older, he'll get funnier.
I'm incredibly glad that Dave Spikey is off 8 out of 10 cats though. He would always say something that wasn't funny, then make a rubbish link to some story that couldn't be more obviously pre-written and from a stand-up he has done.
Saw Russell Howard in Cambs the other week
as part of a comedy festival, seemed to be preparing stuff for Edinburgh. Alot funnier than I was expecting.
frankie boyle
no question
Rich Hall
even though its not full time, when hes on QI or similar he kills!
I've never seen someone make Stephen Fry laugh so much.
So he must be the funniest.
also unfunniest
is definitely Phil Jupitus. He also does the worst fucking laugh ever at other peoples not very funny jokes.
another vote for Frankie Boyle
Rob Brydon.
all the way.
good choice
his stand up is also very funny
and
Marion and Geoff is perfect.
"If those sleeping policemen only save one childs life.....then they're probably not very cost effective".
Lovely stuff.
:D
me
(i was on QI once)
failing that, David Mitchell or, hmm, Boris Johnson? those were the days...
David Mitchell
Yes.
i'm going on a limb
and saying paul merton.
He hasn't said anything funny for at least five years.
I'd say Sean Locke too.
Definitely not that annoying little moleface Boyle.
Gina Yahsere, easily.
Apparently Eavis is already in negotiations to get her to headline the Pyramid Stage next year.
^Misunderstood the question.
.
^
sweet lord! are you insane?!
also...
that fat-michael owen lookalike on eat out of tin cans is actually pretty funny. Mainly because he looks like a fat Michael Owen.
eat out of tin cans :D
Vic Reeves.
How tall is a bison?
I vote David Mitchell
or as I like to call him Dmitchy!
Dara O'Briaineeen
or whatever his name is.
Definitely not Russell Howard though. Or Russell Brand after that abomination that was his effort on HIGNFY.
Frankie Boyle and Dave Spikey
are both on my list of bad people who shoehorn bits of their stand-up act into almost completely irrelevant conversations.
david mitchell all the way
and although he isn't incredibly funny i'm a little bit in love with adam hills
I love Adam Hills!
:D
i think it's his leg
and the fact that he's the only australian in existence that actually pulls off the accent
Barry Cryer
David Mitchell I think
the worst is that little bald west country guy
graeme garden, tim brook-taylor, barry cryer
with their host humphrey lyttleton
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Sorry%2C_I_Haven%27t_a_Clue
Sean Locke is a good call
Also Alan Davies.
Do presenters count? Simon Amstell rocks my comedy world.
"I'm only here 'cos you told me that you fancied me!"
"No,you're here because we have dificulty booking people"
^ amstell is genius.
i loved the episode where he absolutely ripped the shit out of donny tourette, without him even realising
Ha ha
brilliant. He'd be at my fantasy dinner party.
1. Sean Locke
2. Paul Merton
3. Frankie Boyle
4. Jimmy Carr
5. Ross Noble
Merton on Just A Minute
but not HIGNFY anymore
RICH HALL!
He made a great joke about running from a polar bear on QI once, I can't remember the exact quote, but it was fucking hilarious.
does Simon Amstell count?
as he's a host?
least funny is Vic reeves
