100 Greatest Stand-Ups 2010 (Next Friday)

[Allie hunter]

Yes I did see the documentary and I disagree but that's your view.

 

[Gage P.]

That's more like it, Baddiel drops from the 30s to 98

 

[Who likes 2 party]

The problem with these things is that if they are asking the public then I would guess that a majority will just plumb for their current favourite.
e.g. McIntyre, Manford, Bishop etc.

And it is also very UK centric. As another poster pointed out an similar US list had many that us Brits would never had heard of. So the title the Greatest Stand-Ups from a UK perspective may be more apt


I'm still not sure how it was voted for as the explanation on the website was still pretty ambiguous.

did you see lettermans recent apology.

the timing seems a little interesting... trying to cash in on the new movie, dave? or simply trying to avoid criticism that the movie might bring?

Im surprised Dara O-Brien wasn't on the list??? He is very good stand up, and Mock the Week has defniately raised his profile.

Other acts I would have liked to have seen on the list but not surprised they weren't:

Marcus Brigstocke
Milton Jones
Stewart Francis
Flight of the Conchords (though they're a double act so I pressume thats why they were left off)

 

[jarrettdooty]

Again, I know absolutely no one who likes Jim Davidson. Dire

 

[Brenda B]

IMO Billy Connolly still deserves his No 1 spot.

For 30 odd years he has remained, for me anyway, absolutely hysterical.

 

[Mister-E]

I find her comedy very samey. Her act has never really developed.

 

[lbclerk]

You could vote for upto 10 comedians in one day when I had a look at the website a few months ago.

 

[Toodeemo]

What the **** is Jim Davidson doing on this list. Awful, nasty man- as 'Chalky' was telling me yesterday

 

[dley00]

Royston Vasey is a totally different bloke off stage

 

[D37]

I think Stewart should be higher

 

[Brendon]

I bet the extremely long-winded & tediously boring ranting Eddie Izzard & Billy Connolly will be near the top again

 

[martyleo12]

Probably Richard Prior, Ricky Gervais and Billy Connolly in some order.

 

[Baltharzion Snookleplum]

Can anyone tell me where Mitch Hedberg ranked?

 

[fiefiemew]

Big drop for Jackie Mason

 

[Daniel Johnson]

Never heard of this guy.

 

[Kery]

It took you this long to realise how silly this list is?

Hmm Shappi was being really condescending about him there.

The Marriage Ref.

Yep I seen Relentless at least twice. I'm not actually sure I heard Flying Saucers, all of the stuff I have seen of Hicks is from youtube and the internet I still have to get the cd's etc. Thankfully there's a lot out there though.

Just done a bit of checking, is flying saucers a compilation, I have probably heard all or nearly all of the material on it then.
