    Fave Comedians

    Stand-Up or Otherwise!

    Until recently i didn't really care much for comedians, but having recently gone through a depression i have been searching for things to make me laugh and truly, laughter and comedy is life saving stuff!! Just like music or any other form of self expression!

    Who are your faves? Comedians or comedic actors (:.

    --


    Since having left England to move to Holland when i was 11, i didn't grow up with the great English comedians and all i knew was Mr Bean and Monty Python, but i feel that a lot of the world's greatest comedians come from Britain (: (in my opinion most Dutch comedian's try too hard.. i guess they all do but it just doesn't feel as natural to me as it does with most British comedians (: i do like Guido Weijers). I still don't know a lot of comedians but i lovelovelove:

    1) - Eddie Izzard (ultimate fave)
    2) - Lee Evans (ultimate second)

    And then really anyone in random order:
    Billy Connolley, Bill Bailey, John Cleese, Robin Williams (Stand-Up, not film), Peter Kay, Sean Lock, Jim Jeffries, Rick Mayal & Ade Edmondson, Bill Hicks.. (:

    Who do you recommend?

    I absolutely adore john cleese (Love fawlty towers). I also really like Ross Noble and Jimoen. I love comedians and comedy tv shows, particularly british and Irish ones. Have you seen the show Black Books? It has Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey in it.

    I love Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran, Steven Wright, Rowan Atkinson and Eddie Izzard. My favourite funny actors are Robert Downey Jr (esp in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and I also like Michael Douglas when he's playing funny roles - Wonder Boys has me crying with laughter every time.

    I love Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson (stand-up) is AMAZING. One of my favourite South African comedians is David Newton, as well as Trevor Noah, who are both very funny. :)

    Stewart Lee is an amazing British Stand up, I've seen him in Glasgow a couple of years ago and his new show is just out on DVD (Stewart Lee's Carpet Remnant World) and it's fantastic.
