Hamish + Andy

[DeanoT]

Mitch Hedberg.

Mitch Hedberg had no peer.

Other favourites are Steven Wright, Jimmy Carr, Russell Peters and Al Murray.

Most current Australian "comedians" are not even funny, including gumbies such as Dave Hughes and Akmal Saleh.

 

[Mr Shankly]

Louis C.K. is pretty great.

 

[RoJo Junior]

Oh god, its as if they think that if they talk louder and louder they become funnier. They suck!!

Russell Peters is a favourite of mine, his different accents are quality. Dave Chapelle is an absolute crack up, gun!

Arj Barker and Carl Barron are great and i like Tim Minchin, the songs he sing are classic. Really enjoyed his mockumentary Rock and Roll nerd, great stuff.

 

[ben_cats_fan]

Russel Peters, Danny Bhoy, Stephen K Amos, Margaret Cho

Adam Hills the best of the Aussies

Mate, agreed with you with Danny Bhoy, he's incredible. But after seeing Adam Hills a few times, I just get over hearing him do the same stuff.

Ross Noble, Russell Brand, Pablo Francisco, Frank Caliendo, Noel Fielding, the Little Britain boys,

Locally, really do rate Hamish Blake, Tom Ballard and I still adore Lano and Woodley

Tom Ballard was incredible the other night hahaha. I can only speak for the Tasmanian circuit here, but geez I love seeing local talent. Really do. Unheard of people. Just having a crack!

[Smell The Glove]

Mitch Hedberg.

Cant believe it took until the bottom of the first page for Mitch Hedberg's name to come up.

And after hacks like Hamish and Andy and Barry Humphries.

 

[Power King]

For anyone that hasn't watched Dave Chappelle, I strongly encourage you to watch:

This may seem like a long clip, but the way he blends truth & wit when it comes to the male and females sexes is quality:

I bet every single one of you can relate.

If you do watch it, I'd love to read what you think.

"I was in a casino last week standing in front of the door. One of the guards told me I would have to move because I was blocking the fire escape. As if, if the building caught on fire, I wasn't going to run. If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire escape.

Unless you are a table."
