Miranda Hart has competition

[smokeysmoo]

I saw him at the MEN and enjoyed it but I think he has a big northern following.

Without a doubt he has, and a live atmosphere always seems to amplify things to another level, however, I just think after his first DVD he got very lazy and IMHO he's very much a one trick pony.
Whereas Lee Evans is very much one sweaty pony

I used to really like Peter Kay in his early days, especially Phoenix nights/Max and Paddy.
Not so sure now, maybe less is more?
Lee Evans I could watch a lot, hilarious and love his energy.

The wife laughed her socks off at Kay and just grinned at Evans occasionally. It was the exact opposite for me. I like Kay in that he doesn't try to be too clever.

It's my understanding, (though I could be wrong), that Dave Spikey and Daniel Kitson were the brains behind Phoenix Nights.

Another thumbs up for Lee Evans.. I do find him funny

What are your thoughts on Lee Mack?
Anyone remember his 'cockney' routine?

 

[Thomk]

Think, I watched the clip, are you messing about or are you serious or did the clip finish before I saw it all ?

Nope I am serious. Read the youtube comments and you'll see that some people just didn't get it but most thought it side splitting. I think it's a piece of comic genius.

Add to the list this guy John Bishop his so called comedy routine is so dire, I'd rather have my feet nailed to the floor

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

oh and Lee Evans, sweaty fool

I remember when I was doing my Prince's Trust course a few years back, and there was a guy on it who, to put it mildly, wasn't the brightest of chaps.

He LOVED Lee Evans, and one day he was talking about him and he said of Evans, and I am not kidding

'I really like Lee Evans, you know, he was the first ever comedian to sweat!!'

Oh how I wanted to laugh, but, alas, not being very bright, he got offended really easily, so I just left it.
The first ever comedian to sweat?? You mean that all comedians up until that point all constantly smelled of roses??

Love him Lee Mack Live, (with the cockney routine) is properly laugh out loud funny IMO.

That's the one
Get ready for the cockney backlash

Lee Mack is very funny and that Cockney sketch is great.

That oaf from Gavin and Stacey has been spectacularly unfunny when I've seen him on the TV.

Harry Hill's very funny, great live too. Funniest one I've seen is Greg Proops, hilarious!

Greg Proops is great. Saw him live once. One very funny man.
Also really used to like him on Who's Line Is It Anyway, especially when teamed up with Ryan Styles and/or Colin Mochrie
