Stand Up Comedy Thread

Archive: 22 posts


I'm sure a large amount of you are fans of stand up, it is definitely my favourite form of media, I am a fan of many regular stand ups.

My notable favourites are:
Frankie Boyle (On Mock the Week, not his stand up, shame he left)
Russell Howard (His Apollo gigs and his DVDs)
Jimmy Carr
Milton Jones
Stuart Francis
Jim Jeffreys (VERY ADULT THEME)
Kevin Bridges
Sean Lock
Hugh Dennis
Many more.

Mock the Week also rules.

So this can be for stand up discussion.

There was once a Stand Up thread started by the mighty Marino but that was in 2008.

Shawn Lock

I'm sorry to bring this up, but it's Sean Lock.

But yeah, I do love stand up. You forgot Dara O'Briain, he's hilarious.


There are three states of legality in Irish law. There is all this stuff which comes under That's grand, then it moves into Ah now don't push it, and finally it comes under Right now you're takin the ****, and that's when the police come in.

I think one of the best stand up comedians around would have to be Adam Hills. I dunno how well known he is outside of Australia but he's my favourite comedian, after him it'd probably have to be Ross Noble.2010-07-16 12:37:00

I know Adam Hills, I think he did Live at the Apollo or something... Maybe Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow. I dunno. :L But I do know that he's good.

My favorite has to be Gabriel Iglesias. I love how he talks about Mexican culture, but in the way that everybody can relate to it. Clip:

And knowing how to mimic sounds and voices helps a lot.

He's pretty funny, I can't say I've seen a Mexican comedian before.

He's been on Mock the Week a few times, always ends up taking hiis foot off at some point.

Jeff Dunham stopped being funny right after that special.

My favorites have got to be Demetri Martin, Daniel Tosh, and Jim Gaffigan.

Demetri Martin? I liked his comedy bits, but I think his show ruined him in my opinion. Still, I love his sketch of the ABC's.2010-07-16 16:58:00
