Title: Comedians
Post by: The Borg on February 23, 2020, 01:53:34 PM
Anybody gone to see any good comedians?

I've seen a few now
Lee Evans just before he retired which was amazing
Jimmy Carr who weren't bad
Michael McIntyre who was gunny as hell
Rob Beckett  I saw last night. I weren't sure what it was gonna be like but the guy is one funny funny man. The front row got destroyed.

Does Michael Barrymore count? Went to see him when I was a kid in the 80s.

I'd quite like to see Al Murray because he's VERY funny but with my mental health issues I have trouble leaving my flat.

I tend to watch a lot of Comedians on YouTube. Alistair Williams is brilliant, particularly his Burger King Brexit:

Saw Ardal O'Hanlon on Friday - wasn't sure what to expect, he's pretty low key compared to a lot - but it was very good actually - still got that touch of Dougal about him..

I've seen loads...
Jimmy Carr three times
Russell Howard twice
Ricky Gervais twice
Ardal O'Hanlon
Dara O'Briain
Reginald D Hunter
Lee Evans
Bill Bailey
Romesh Ranganathan
Frankie Boyle
Dave Gorman
Harry Hill

Some shit ones my Missus wanted to see too..
Miranda Hart
Russell Brand

..Probably missed a few out..

I'd probably say Russell Howard was my favourite.. with Jimmy Carr and Lee Evans being great too.  Gervais was good, but Science and Humanity (the ones I saw) are probably my least favourite out of the ones he's done... Fame is a great tour.

Probably add John Richardson to that list later this year... touring round my area at the moment, but I missed tickets.. think he's back in Septemberish time..

Going to see Romesh myself in April. I suspect hes gonna be funny as holy hell.



My partner wants to see Sarah Millican. Really not a fan of hers.

Yeah Romesh was good, but subverted to he usual jokes about being brown and having a wonky eye.. which gets a bit old sometimes.

Oh yes, add Millican to my list, yeah, she was crap... such an annoying voice
