Ramble On Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Seen Jason Manford at assembley rooms he's my favourite, quite personal as his Mrs is from Derby so knows a bit of local stuff not just wiki'd it on the way down, back here in November I think! Also like Ed Byrne he's in Derby early October, gutted I'm missing it but not complaining about 10 nights all inc in Egypt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Reg D Hunter for me - very subtle. For completely 'out there', you can't beat Emo Philips, who I think came up with the funniest opening I ever heard....

maydrakin Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Nick Helm - Brilliant and terrifying at the same time. Daniel Kitson - Absolutely superb. Mark Watson - One of the most underrated comedians around. You could do a lot worse than go to somewhere like Just The Tonic in Nottingham and you'll find some decent (and some crap) comedians doing the rounds.

EastKentRam Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Frankie Boyle - love the bloke, his twitter is brilliant, talks a lot of sense about things combined with jokes, genius. Jimmy Carr - saw him live a few months back and you really appreciate how quick/clever/witty comedians are when you see them live, was decent Sean Lock and John Richardson are good on 8 out of 10 cats, dont really find their stand up that funny though. Award for the least funny comedian goes to Russel Howard, acts like a 10 year old shouting b*llocks, dont understand how anyone would pay to see him, but each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Reg D Hunter for me - very subtle.

"Probably the toughest time in anyone's life is when you have to murder a loved one because they are the Devil. Other than that, it's been a good day." Two great shouts.

Duracell Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Russell Howard isn't funny as a stand-up comdian. He's just a very confident man with a decent editing team behind him. No control to it whatsoever. He does shine with audience interaction though, he is quick-witted, shame he doesn't do enough of it. Kevin Bridges is one of my favourites at the moment, as his delivery is second to none and he manages to make you laugh without insulting anyone. Jimmy Carr is on the other end of the spectrum, but that's the point with him and he does it well, better than Frankie Boyle in my opinion. Also think Dara O'Brien is well worth a mention. Is this stand-up only, or can we also offer our opinions on comic actors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
