What comedians are your fave and why mine is Russell Howard because he makes fun of the news all the time, stood up for the LGBT community on multiple occasions and he seems like a nice guy when he isn't making people laugh.
Russell Howard is the best! Jimmy Carr and Adam Hills come close though. Jimmy Carr is amazing at stand up, especially improvising and his comebacks to hecklers; Adam Hills is amazing all the time, he just makes you feel good about yourself. Plus, Hills is a massive LGBT supporter and speaks out about it at every opportunity he gets - I've yet to see him miss an opportunity
I like Kathy Griffin. I think she's sharp and fun. Every so often I watch the View segment where she takes down Hasselwhack or whatever and it makes me laugh. :lol:
I love Wanda Sykes and one of the legends of comedy..George Wallace. These two comedic skills are on point and they know how to deliver to their audience.
How could i forget about Jimmy Carr he is amazing on 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Both countdown and panel show) as well as standup.
I nice topic! I was looking for new comedians to listen to during work. Right now I'm on DeAnne Smith.
Chris Rock, Louis Black and Dave Chapelle are my go to people. They are pretty edgy, but make me laugh. I also like Ellen for good clean humor! Saturday Night Live is good again, too!!!!
Geoege Carlin is my favorite comedian of all time. A unappologetic philosopher and true master of the english language. Eddie Izzard is a living legend, my personal trans hero, and all around impressive individual. And John Oliver has probably the greatest show on television. Between the three of them, I'd have enough to think about and laugh at for a lifetime.
Oldies I liked/like Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Wayans bros, and of course Ellen, still love her current presence, but she was definitely funnier before daytime tv happened. Newer comedians I really love Kristin Wiig, Kate Mckinnon, Bill Hader, John C Reilly, and Kevin Hart. And I know I'm forgetting way more, but those are my favorites right off the top of my head.
I like Lee Mac, Rob Brydon, Joe Lycet, Sarah Pascoe, David Badiel, Frank Skinner, Rhod Gilbert, Jo Brand, Harry Hill, Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican, Russell Brand. I like Would I lie to You? And Alien Fun Factory and This Country. I don't like Michael McIntyre, or Russell Howard or Micky Flannigan because I find them too in your face.
George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, Kate McKinnon to name just a few that I like. Comedians I don't like are Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer. Chelsea's actually funny but she gets too political and I hate politics. Amy made me laugh exactly once. She said "I was going down on this one guy and he asked me to suck his balls but I said I'm sorry I can't I have a nut allergy." Otherwise I find her standup mediocre.
