Who is your favourite comedian?

So, upon hearing that Lee Evans is going to be quitting stand up comedy, I was feeling kind of bummed out. But I know there's still loads of great comedians out there, so I was wondering what yours are?

It has to be:

-Lee Evans
-Russel Howard
-Dara O'Brien (dunno how you spell that last name)
-Micky Flanagan
-Jack Dee
-Michael Macintyre
-David Mitchell
-Lee Mack
-Jon Richardson
-Sean Lock

And a bunch of others I can't remember right now... :confused:

Can't beat a bit of Lee Evans.

Also really like Tim Vine, Russell Howard and Lee Mack. Lee Mack is great cause he's so spontaneous and witty.

Lee Mack is great. And he is definitely one of the most spontaneous as you say. Over half of his act must be just improvisation with the audience. It's cool to watch. :biggrin:

Haha yeah!
Have you seen Ross Noble? He's much more extreme.. He goes off topic a great deal at live shows and because of how spontaneous he is you have to have a great deal of patience ! Although I think he makes up for it cause he's so funny.
Alan Carr. So glad no one has said Frankie Boyle...
Russell Howard hands down, the guy gets time in ways you don't understand :rofl:
And Kevin Bridges!!
