They rock together! I have seen Bill Bailey live and he was amazing! I want them to get together, open a bookshop near me and ask me to work with them
Steven Wright. Probably the greatest one-liner comedian of all-time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD0KApiFdLg "I'm a peripheral visionary. I can see into the future, but just way off to the side."
My favourites at the moment are Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Michael McIntyre and Rhod Gilbert. Of all time is tricky. I do think The two Ronnies were brilliant. As were Fry and Laurie, but I am bias on that one
I enjoy many but one person I always go back to and have a great chuckle listening to is Billy Connolly.
In no particular order - Carlin, Chappelle, Hicks, Williams, Garofalo, Pryor, Murphy, Rock, and Maher. <- For stand-up
bill bailey, eddie izzard are good fun for stand up, never been to keen on american "stand up" comics, witht he exception of some mentioned here, hicks, prior etc. Agree with tipsy gipsy about Dave Mitchell though, oh yes !
I think Mitchell needs Webb. Peep show is probably my favourite show in television at the moment. I cannot wait for the 7th series.
Oh no Mitchell is just brilliant alone! Together they are great, but he just rocks I have a thing for David Mitchell
Get in David! You might literally be the only person in the world, I think we should sort something out
oh this is way too easy! the best comedian ever is... george 'shithead' bush! best example of both an, american and, a texan farce, i've seen in one hell of a long, long, long, time!:ack2: i also have to rank, the "comedy team" called 'wall street' up there, for a tie with george bush. best financial farce of capitalism at it's worst and, run-a-way greed that, fucked over the lower and middle class people of the world, since the great depression of 1929 to 1945... WAY TO GO GALS AND GUYS OF THE FINANCIAL ELITE! is the joke on bush and wall street or, is the joke on those of us, too blind and/or stupid to rise up in revolt, to change things. we keep letting these shitasses fuck us over and, over and, over and, over and etc. the human tragicomedy is the "best comedian" in ALL of human history.
