Wolfie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I tend to prefer comedic acting or general wittiness on TV/Radio to someone standing there bombarding me with jokes for 2 hours.For example, I'm not a huge fan of Peter Kay as stand up but I used to love phoenix nights and his new Car Share series. Jeremy Hardy on the Radio 4 News Quiz is probably the person I laugh at most consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Stewart Francis, Frank Skinner, Jim Jefferies, Michael Winslow and Bill Hicks.The trouble with this type of question is the next day you'd pick a different 5, in my case always keeping Bill Hicks.For anyone who doesn't know, Michael Winslow was the one who did all the voices and sound effects in the Police Academy films.I had the privilege of seeing his stand up set in a small comedy club a few years ago, it's even more impressive to see him close up and live, jaw dropping doesn't do him justice!
