Yeah he's not exactly pc is he. Comedians shouldn't have to be though, the best comedy is taking then piss out of something or someone. |

I don't really go for pc when it comes to comedy and it's jokes and meant to be funny and just that a joke. You go to a comedy show not expecting a drama but jokes. Thats all they are. But some of those Guys like Bernard Manning etc weren't joking at all, thats how they really felt. But not to get off topic. Because most of the people I named are VERY far from PC.

One I do think is very good and you see him live on the apollo is the slim dark shortly cropped hair Scottish guy with an irish name.
Finished one of his shows with "balls up mate" regards how Aussies say balls up if they now they've totally screwed up.
I just can't recall his name. |

Met Kevin Bridges in the services on the m4 one Sunday evening after he’d been on the sesh in Galway, was fairly well on too.
We’d a little conversion about Cit-eh, coz I was wearing the jersey.
He was class live in the 3 too.
Micky Flanagans love shoes are on Comedy Central and are a must watch.

I disagree. I think any dumb fuck can be funny by taking the piss out of people. It's boring, lazy and unskilled. The best comedians are the ones that take the piss out of life. Like Dylan Moron. His stand up absolutely kills me. |

Yep, that was Bob Newhart. He's aged 90 now and has made some guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory.
Bill Bailey & Sean Lock usually get me smiling. |

Dave Chapelle (G.O.A.T) no one will ever surpass his intelligence of world view, his genius for sketch shows and his thought process of how to do stand up and for how much of a great human being he is.
A short version of a story from Kevin Hart.....
"At a comedy show and met Chris Rock we had a chat and said we both had some new material we were going to try both told each other yeah that was pretty good we were both laughing our asses of at each others sets....We went to the Green Room and there is Dave Chapelle...."Dave, what the fuck!?"....Hadn't seen the guy in I dunno how long!!
"Dave you going on?".
"Nah man I'm just chilling"
"Come on Dave, you gotta go on"
"I dunno, should I?"
I run out out cause people are starting to leave, "Hey everyone come back Dave Chapelle is in the house and he's coming on, people start hurrying back.
So Dave goes on and me at Chris Rock are standing at the back. Dude was on 40 minutes and killed it, unrehearsed and no prepared material, 100%!! And without saying anything to each other, we didn't even LOOK at each other, we took out our material, balled it up and threw it away! Nuff said |

I totally agree, taking the puss just out of people isn't very imaginative, when I said not very pc I meant they will talk about the world and life but not shy away from saying something that is funny but people don't find pc. Like snowflake pc. Overly sensitive. But its more about life and the world. So I agree with you.

Re: Billy as OP said, I used to think that until I got to see him live and was completely disappointed. It was around 2006 and I think his illness was taking hold a bit though. I still love watching his odler stand up and new tv shows(the travel type shows).
I think my favorite stand up is Lee Evans. I love the insanity and energy of his shows plus he usually does a great little musical number at the end which is a nice change.
Most of my favorite stand ups though are the horrible harsh gits that don't care who or what they insult...so quite different to Lee Evans Jim jeffries used to be great. I managed to see him on tour around the time of his contraband show but then he got sober and wasn't as funny, then he went to America and became worse because he had to be a bit PC for them. If anyone likes this type of comedian(Jeffries, Frankie Boyle,etc) then check out a Canadian called Mike Wilmot. He's ridiculously funny. I've managed to see him live twice and my jaw and stomach ached for days after I laughed so much.
From local comedians Tommy Tiernan has got to be the best. Loved watching his shows on tv and stuff years ago and then got to go and see his Crooked Man show which was so bizarre and funny. He's the only comedian I've seen live that made the audience laugh by saying nothing....bit like the late great Tommy Cooper! Jason Byrne is also brilliant live, bit like Lee Evans the insanity he puts into his shows just tickles me. Andrew Maxwell is great too.
A comedian I recommend NOT to go and see is a Scot called Daniel Sloss. You get about 30-45 mins of comedy followed by nearly hour of being lectured that r@pe is bad  Absolutely dire show, I felt like asking for a refund even though I won the tickets. |

Ah but you see, I don't think something is funny if its offensive. I guess I'm a snowflake because I don't enjoy hurting people's feelings. |

I know he’s already been mentioned but if you are talking about just pure stand-up not a comedy actor it has to be Richard Pryor, greatest of all time, really sad how he ended up with MS but he was a genius. |
