100 Greatest Stand-Ups 2010 (Next Friday)

Further to the Top 100 list they compiled in 2007 (which I boast to having heard of all but of 3 them in that list) Next Friday sees a new 2010 list airing. Which I read about today.


Wonder how it compare to the 2007 list? (It's listed below) I reckon Connolly will still be No.1, Peter Kay will have slipped down the list a bit, Jimmy Carr will move into the Top 10 and Michael Macintyre, Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard, Stephen K Amos and Jason Manford will have made their way into it this time, (with Macintyre being the highest new entry into the top 10). I don't know how the order's going to compare to last time though

(IMO) I hope the following will all move UP the last as they were far to low down for my liking last time. Lee Evans, Jasper Carrott, Tim Vine, George Carlin , Ed Bryne, Lee Mack, Dave Allen and Dave Gorman and I'm hoping Chris Rock and Steve Cogan have gone down as I've never found either of them funny at all.

Hardly anyone in the UK has heard of George Carlin but I love him and he was in the list last time (and had better be again tonight - hopefully moving UP the chart).
 
I've seen every episode except one and though it is very hit-and-miss when it works (usually by having decent problems presented to the panel) it is hilarious. Funniest I have seen Ricky Gervais was on the Marriage Ref :o
 
dara was 16th on the list. Seen him in Glasgow a few weeks ago, one of the funniest stand ups around at the moment. Seen a few in the past couple of years and he has been by far the funniest
 
Agree but a least he has drop, can't believe Roy Chubby Brown was so high last time, hopefully he's at least below 50 this time.
