Robin is cool when you hear his original voice. In dubbed movies he just sucks...

It's crap cus they only do American stand-up. I could think of sooo many Australian, Irish and British comedians that are better then ALL of them (maybe not Bill Hicks, but some are!)

its an interesting list



i think richard prior is good...as was lenny bruce

as for chris rock...i only ever liked one of his routines...the famous "black people and niggers" routine

i would like to have seen dennis leary a bit higher up

generally i think british stand up is funnier than american stand up though

billy connely,ross noble peter kay all crack me up

Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran and Jimoein are very famous British/Irish stand-up comedians that come to mind. Billy Connolys old stuff was great, don't much care for his new stuff.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Ross Noble befor, I can't remember who he is exactly but I remember him being pretty funny.

of course



your gonna like comedians from your area, because they talk about subjects you know and can relate to better...

p.s.dennis leary should have been higher too

"i smoke em down to the filter! that's the best part (puff puff puff) cuz that's where they hide the heroin...only us good smokers know that..."

Ireland and Britain are hardly my area. There's alot of bad comedians here, but because Americas got a bigger population, gives it a huger amount of bad comedians.
