Dara O'Briain is my favourite comedian.

This clip is brilliant. It is of Welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert about losing his luggage on the way to Australia. It is hilarious. Check out the line here

I cannot say how much I hate Michael McIntyre........ Terriblr "comedian"..
Tommy Tiernan has to be the funniest, Dara O' Briain the smartest. Love Chris Rock as well, and Des Bishop too.

A big +1 to Mes Amis's post.

I too really don't get the McIntyre but still, at least he's not Lee Evans...

Dara O'Briain wins this one by a long shot, absolutely hilarious.

Never heard of most of them I confesss, I never watch TV. James Corden? Who?

But I have seen stewart Lee on You Tube and Rich Hill and they are good, as is Peter kay.

But Dave Allen was the daddy.

Of all time, eddie murphy. At the minute, ricky gervais. That is for stand up anyway.

Cordon, is he a comedian? I dont think he's funny at all. McIntyre is a flash in the pan, he is all over the place. Dara o'brien is good enough but not in the league of the above. Plays the irish card too much. Chris Rock always seems to have an axe to grind, there can be a little too much edge, he is funny though. Same with frankie boyle. His stand-up routine can get monotonous after a while. Larry david is exceptional, but doesnt really do stand up. Frank Skinner and billy connelly can be very good. Peter Kay was good, sold out a bit though. Jimmy Carr, way over-rated. He has had the same deadpan facial expression for the last 10 years, change the record man. Richard Prior, lots of people harp back to him, but when you actually listen to him, he is just a less-sharp version of eddie murphy. Bill Bailey, rubbish.

Frankie Boyle and Patrique would be two of the better ones.

Billy Connolly in his prime. Story about the Last Supper is brilliant. Not mad about him recently. I think hanging around with Prince Charles went to his head! There's an Irish chap who plays a little keyboard and sings a song about text messages. Can't remember his name but he's good and he made an eijit out of that tool Russel Brand when he was on his show a couple of years ago.

Bill Hicks and George Carlin where the best for me. Today, I agree with those who rate Dara O' and Frankie. I remember Dave Allen but my mother would not allow him on the TV when we where younger.
