That’s the kind of comedy I like, can anyone recommend any more?

No, but have you seen “American – The Bill Hicks Story”? Brilliant film.

Hmmmm. I don’t think Kelly Montieth is gonna cut it….

I assume you’ve explored Frankie Boyle?

jerry sadowitz. Funnier and more original than frankie boyle

jerry sadowitz

I’ve met Jerry Sadowitz. I was walking down a side street in Edinburgh and he was sat outside a cafe nursing a coffee. I asked him if he’d mind if I took a picture and he agreed. I think he was a bit surprised that anyone knew who he was. Proper gent.

Stewart Lee and Jim Jeffries.

I’m Doug Stanhope, and that’s why I drink’

😆

Brilliant line.

Chris Rock did some cracking stand up before he went all Hollywood. Check out Bring The Pain.

Funnily enough I just ordered this on Blu Ray for a tenner this morning

I’d say Stuart Lee and Jerry Sadowitz are the best in the UK now. Jerry is doing some shows for a video he is recording this weekend.

Bill Hicks was brilliant in his day, now looks a bit less so, perhaps because so many people have ripped him off… including Dennis Leary – and if you want to have fun – see what Hicks used to say about Leary.

Stuart Lee has a new series of his “Comedy Vehicle” coming quite soon.

Lenny Bruce

He told police the drugs they found were aspirin. His reply when asked why he needed a syringe.
“Can’t stand the taste of the stuff”

Who was that big blonde American bloke that died – was on The Tube a couple of times I think. He was similar.

Sam Kinnison was who I was thinking of

Louis CK.

Another vote for Stuart Lee. Very smart stand up indeed

I was gonna say Louis CK also – very funny at times, though can be a bit annoying.

The few half decent US comics out there seem to walk that fine line.

Oh and Lewis Black and Joe Rogan are some more recommendations for the OP.

I assume it is just US comics required.

was going to say louis CK and Jo Rogan 😀

sexy minds think alike

Dane Cook stuff

He asked for funny tho? 8)

Jim Davidson?
