Looking for good stand up comedy


Recommended Posts

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.

A few more...

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

Stewart Francis

Jim Gaffigan

Mitch Hedberg

Christian Finnegan

Eddie Izzard

Brian Regan

Doug Benson

Ralphie May

Brian Posehn

Demetri Martin

Greg Giraldo

Jeff Ross

Mike Birbiglia

Classics:

Bill Hicks

George Carlin

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

Well so i've watched all of george carlins HBO specials... He was awesome if not teh best!.. So far i've also watched:

Dave Chapelle (close contender).

Robin Williams

Chris Rock kinda meh...

But as usual, I need MOAR! So what are your recommendations.

Watch some routines by John Pinnette, he's 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.

Tim Minchin
Agreed. He's awesome.
Jim Gaffigan

Mitch Hedberg

Christian Finnegan

Eddie Izzard

Brian Regan

Doug Benson

Ralphie May

Brian Posehn

Demetri Martin

Greg Giraldo

Jeff Ross

Mike Birbiglia

Classics:

Bill Hicks

George Carlin

These are some of the best.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Lewis Black.

Bill Maher

is pure genius.

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

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
