What's your favourite stand up? I'm looking for any recommendations to watch on tinterweb whilst exceedingly high. Bill Hicks, Jim Jefferies, Marc Maron is my normal preference but much like music this shit is always better when recommended.
Come on you R's!!

Fave comedian right now is Stewart Lee (saw him last year, seeing him this year) but I do miss Patrice O'Neal. This routine is amazing.

Billy Connolly was brilliant back in his prime,as was Micky Flanaghan.One that I can’t stand though is the woman with cerebral palsy.I think most people would boo her off stage if it wasn’t for her disability.

Yeah she's a struggle. Half of comedy is timing and, of course because of her condition, she's not got that. Not sure she's really got any good jokes either though.
If she was mad funny, I'd be happy to try to get through her delivery but she's not unfortunately. Still, fair play to her for getting a decent career going.

The late great Sean lock. Seen him on numerous occasions. First time at St Albans arena about 10 years ago and the following week seen Jason Manford. It was like night and day. Jim Eoin is a close second . Certified nut job.

Last comic we saw was Dave Gorman doing his PowerPoint tour and he was great.
We watched a couple of bits on Netflix recently and found them great:-
- Greg Davies "You Magnificent Beast". I like him on Taskmaster and from The Inbetweeners back in the day too but his stand up was cracking. - Ari Eldjarn - Icelandic comic. The whole show largely revolved around being Icelandic so I'm not sure how versatile other shows of his might be, but the one on Netflix is very funny.

Rosie Jones.
That’s her.I heard her tell one gag about women with cerebral palsy make the best lesbians as they’re good at fingering.I’m not sure I could watch more than a couple of minutes of her shows. Fair play to her for getting up there,but I just don’t find her funny at all.

Best I've seen live are Billy Connolly and Jimmy Carr. Both absolutely superb but with very different styles. Was in pain from laughing at Carr's show and am seeing him again in a couple of months.
Also love Mark Watson who I've seen several times. Enjoyed Kevin Bridges too.
Daniel Kitson was also very good, seen him a few times back in the day.

Seen Stewart Lee on many occasions - an absolute genius. If you can see him at the Leicester Square theatre all the better, great size and decent selection of beers for a theatre.
Mickey Flanagan also, very different to Lee but painfully funny.
Geoff Norcott not too bad either.

Get out there and find some gems whose names you probably won’t remember.
Headliners in the George IV, Chiswick, have some pretty decent acts on Friday and Saturday nights. Shows are fairly reasonably priced, although not so the beers (£7.50 for a Siren on Saturday!)
Top Secret in Covent Garden is also good.
As for names, think my faves have all been mentioned; Louis CK, Ricky Gervais, James Acaster, Jim Jeffries, Eddie Murphy, Lee Evans, Billy Connolly, Dave Allen etc
For me, Carlin, Prior, and Hicks are in a league of their own.
For something a little bit more abstract; Bobby Davro. Hallucinogenic' drugs may help drugs may help:

The late great Sam Kinison.
Some of his stuff is amazing.

I too am a fan of Stewart Lee live. Not so keen on his written work though.
I'll mention Milton Jones as I knew him well before he became famous. We used to organise a monthly Jazz and comedy night together in Richmond called the Back Door in the late 80s. He's so much better live than on radio, but was pretty good on Mock the Week.

When I've seen Milton Jones on Mock the Week, I've thought his humour is incredibly clever.
He is performing at Headliners this weekend.
