    Hm, shame Dara Ó Briain is Irish, otherwise he'd be my #1.

    Otherwise, I find Jon Richardson brilliant. Daniel Sloss, too.

    For seeing live it's got to be Greg Davis for me.

    But that's mostly due to the fact he grew up in Shropshire so when he comes here he has a hell of a lot of Shropshire-based material which is hilarious.


    Otherwise...

    Monkey with a gun!

    oh well in that case that means it ok then, my mistake, i didn't know before... i can totally forget about what i feel is right and wrong now, because there was some loophole that made it legal.

    Legality is not our only moral compass.

    I love Michael McIntyre and Frankie Boyle, but Kevin Bridges has to be my current favourite comedian. I didn't realise he was that funny until I watched his 'What's the Story' documentaries on BBC. His jokes about travel and holidays cracked me up so much! :rofl:

    Micky Flannagan. Although i don't get his humour at times.

    Frankie Boyle is just anti-Islamic and shouldn't even be allowed to say what he does..

    The method of which was completely legal. We'd all do it if we could.
    Did I say it wasn't?

    Not if it's against Muslims, no.

    You think we should accept people trying to challenge Islam every 2 minutes and destroy it's reputation? Islam is unique, therefore to criticize what you're ignorant of is wrong in our eyes.

    Islam is, like anything else, not above criticism.

    Maybe in your view. But these are our rules on our religion and you should respect how we wish to be treated.

    For me, I currently really like Simon Amstell. My favourite top comic at the moment is probably Russell Howard or Dara O'Briain (for stand up, not mock the week/goood news/other watered down comedy show). As far as newer comics go, Jon Richardson comes a close second to Amstell for me. I watch way too much comedy...

    And my view is the countries view on free speech, to take away a basic human right from everyone to appease a very small minority is absurd. But this is off topic, and we wont and shouldn't start banning people from expressing their opinion.
