Jeremy Hotz is also nice and let's not forget The Dudes.

dude, I saw Pablo Francisco on Saturday night at our local comedy club... he was great and I had seats right at the stage. He said that in November he was going to have a comedy show coming out.... it says on his website that he is coming to Sweden soon. You probley already know the site but just in case http://www.pablofrancisco.com/index.html

Actually, Sandler has his moments. He's not as dim as some of his alumni (and most of his characters) are. Sadly, he's gotten a little too used to playing those obnoxious roles, and it's making him a pretty two dimensional performer.

Steve Coogan - Alan Partridge is the funniest character ever, and his stand up is well good too.

Eddie Izzard - Surreal genius.

Simon Pegg - For Spaced and Shaun Of the Dead.

Rik Mayall & ade Edmondson - The funniest duo since Morcambe & Wise.

Peter Kay - His stand up has me in stitches every time, and Phoenix Nights is Northern humour at it's best.

Bob Saget rocks my socks.

UPtimist · 08-02-2006, 11:09 AM

Dave Chappelle, Paul Whitehouse and there's someone else too... I just can't remember who...

(Edit): Oh right! Hugh Laurie.

I can't really ecplain why, they just appeal to me the most, or something

I just saw Mark Steel for the first time, he was doing a show on Che Guevara, it was pretty hilarious.

Bob Saget. Great comedian outside Full House.

Stella (Micheal Ian Black, Micheal Showalter and David Wain). They're funny.

i agree with all of these, although I've never watched Spaced (ive watched Black Books and thats supposed to be similar), btw, is Spaced one of those comedies where you NEED to understand the pop culture references?

Hammerite · 08-05-2006, 03:35 AM

Oh yeah, and everything Mark Williams has ever done is funny (even in Harry Potter at points when he's not meant to be funny)
