    i actually just saw Carlin last sat. night and was a little disappointed. wasn't so much funny as it was observational ranting type stuff. still worth seeing the legend though.

    I don't get the fascination with Sarah Silverman. I think she's just so unoriginal, there doesn't seem to much to her. How long has been around (as in known to a large enough audience) in the US?

    Yes, although I haven't heard of Derek and Clive

    Dylan Moran is fantastic.

    The transcripts of the Derek & Clive stuff is here ... http://www.phespirit.info/derekandclive/ ... in some of it Peter Cook really has a go at Dudley Moore though :o

    I forgot Ross Noble from my list
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Anyone ever caught Noble live? I was shocked to see that the entire act was improv, he was on for three hours and that was on top of a thrity minute interval. Pickin up his new DVD Fizzy Logic later this afternoon :)

    i feel the same way about bill hicks and david cross. they've got their amusing moments, but it's mostly just ranting with no jokes, timing, or punchline.

    Ross Noble is the double of my friend which makes him doubly funny. Sometimes im not sure if its the similarity im laughing at or his jokes.

    Seriously though, he's a funny guy.

    I'm gonna add Justin Timberlake to the list, I know it's not strictly his profession but the man is so dumb that listening to an interview is tear inducingly funny :)

    Haha, yeah some people are often great standup comedians without knowing, meaning or having any control over it. Dougie Vipond, ex drummer of Deacon Blue and occasional sportscene presenter is a prime offender. Gets the scores, games and pronounciations wrong all day long.

    "Good afternoon, Vougie Dipond here." lol

    Was watching that flick Alpha Dog last night and thought it was a good movie, he put in a solid performance but I was watching the interviews on the dvd and just burst out laughing, it was like that Miss Arizona thing, he knew what to say to a question but just got it confused and instead of doing something about just kept on talking.

    Most of my favorites have already been mentioned. Two I haven't seen listed yet (although I did just do a quick scan) are Greg Giraldo and Dennis Miller (pre-sucking bush's wang every chance he is on camera).

    pretty much :) it's the only programme I HAVE to watch... even last night I was watching 'I'm a celebrity blah blah blah' and my housemate came down and was like 'the panel at 10' looking a wee bit panicked... and I said 'of course' :D it's like a weekly thing.

    binaural... it's on them clips I posted. Hey I just saw alpha dog for the first time last week and thought he was was really good :o
