The 100 Greatest Stand Ups

well at least Barnard maning made money in the US

So did the IRA.

*Sigh* How predictable. I knew Either Billy Conolly or Peter Kay would come first. I wouldn't rate those in my top 5. I was suprised to see people such as Ken Dodd, Dara O'Briain and Chubby Brown so low on the list.

dama edna was in it

I thourgh peter key would be first

so I was shocked!!

Peter Kay has done 2 mildly amusing stand-up shows. he hsan't done enough for him to be considered "a true great. There are much funnier comics than Peter kay.

like no100 the whittle bloke?

also ken dodd has had a VERY successful no1 song ( also it the 16th Most sold song of all time! )

tears...

And, how on Earth that sweary, rude black guy who was singing the nursey rhymes, was rated higher than Bob Hope and Tommy Cooper, I'll never know!

the public are weird, wait were the public? that makes US weird

oh well

That's just not funny dude. Anyway, we didn't vote, at least, I didn't.

Indeed, and the fact that he is desperately in need of some new material lets him down.

Reginald D Hunter? I saw him at some charity gig in London about 2 years ago - hosted by....Peter Kay. The person who really bombed that night however was Noel Fielding, who decided on a bit of surrealism to help the night along. Rubbish imo.

Back to the countdown...I thought John Thomson's stand up take on Bernard Manning being PC was funny. Of course the great man objected to such comedy: "If he's havin to resort to takin the piss out of people...he's got no gig!"

Mind you, that said, I do really like Chubby Brown, and have a lot of his videos. He does nursery rhymes on the piano.
