jon_c Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Have family in Edinburgh so have seen a lot a stand-ups live at the festival. Totally brilliant have been Dara O'Briain, Dave Gorman and Greg Davies. Have been in tears watching these three. Very good, Jim Muir, Frankie Boyle, Miles Jupp, Jon Richardson and Andrew Maxwell (this was before he got famous, mind) Disappointing, Stewart Francis, Rich Hall, Andy Parsons and Shappi Khorsandi. Have never seen them live, but Dylan Moran and Daniel Kitson are both genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Comedians I've seen live John Bishop- Excellent Rhod Gilbert- Good Milton Jones- Good Paddy McGuiness- Nah. Frankie Boyle- O.k for first half then the offensive ometer kicks in! Comedians I'd like to see in the next few years as I also like: Simon Amstell Miles Jupp Dave Gorman Greg Davies The mainstream ones like Carr, Russell Howard, Lee Evans etc I just don't see the attraction. The worst imo is that awful Lee Nelson character, total garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 On the missus' request 'we' bought tickets to see Sarah Millican later this year. Uuuuuuuuh. :| Rhys Darby in Basingstoke next week though, only seen snippets of his stand-up before but I liked what I saw. Last show we saw was Tony Hawks, and a thoroughly enjoyable romp it was.

Eames Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Jeff Dunham - The bloke with the 'I kill you' puppet. The least funniest thing I've ever seen. Achmed the dead terrorist SILENCE !!!!!!!
