A few have already been said in here, but I'll post a video for each one...

Lee Evans

Michael McIntyre

Dara O'Briain

Jimmy Carr

Lee Mack

If you like watching a drunk rambling Australian, then Jim Jefferies:

If you like musical comedy, then...

Bill Bailey

and Tim Minchin

And if you want controversial but hilarious comedians, two instantly come to mind...

Frankie Boyle

BTW, he's using his "lighter" material in this show. It's much better in his live DVDs. :)

and Jim Davidson

Once again, lighter stuff. There isn't much of Jim Davidson on YouTube due to his controversial nature, but personally, I still find him hilarious.

Roy "Chubby" Brown

A bit like Jim Davidson, but with much more swearing.

Al Murray

You might not like him, as his material is mostly patriotic, but you never know. :p

Andy Parsons

Rhod Gilbert

Stephen K Amos

Ben Elton, i still find his satire incredibly funny,

Alot has already said but ill recommend anyway,

Eddie Izzard - mainly early stuff, the later stuff like Sexy wasn't as good

Lee Evans :- any and all they are really good

Jack Dee :- especially his early stuff, but most of it's great

Stephen K Amos :- not really what i would consider Laugh so hard milk comes out of your nose, but amusing and good to watch

Bill Bailey Funny / great

Jimmy Carr!

+1, this was going to be my top suggestion. God he's brilliant.

Also... Billy Connolly, Kathleen Madigan, Frank Caliendo, and John Caparulo. These are all different types of comics, so if you don't like one, maybe you will another. I enjoy all these :D

Someone already mentioned him, but I'd give another vote for Kevin Hart. I'd also recommend the following:

Eddie Murphy

Earthquake

Steve Harvey

Martin Lawrence

Bill Engvall

Jeff Foxworthy

Ron White

There's probably a bunch of others, I just can't think of them right now.

It's the White Whale of Stand Ups..... Howie Mandel on Ice. If you can find it, you will laugh till your ass bleeds ( inside joke from the stand up :p ) Truly a great stand up that seems to almost be totally unavailable to buy anywhere except for http://howiemandel.com/store.html

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
