Nice. I've seen this one before, it's one of my favourites. My favourite comedian is Dave Chappelle though. The best comedians are the ones that are naturally funny, just like Chappelle and Williams.

I have watched a lot of stand-up acts, from small length (5-10 mins) up to full sets (1h or more) and I can honestly say that this is probably the best I've seen until now. R Williams is relentless in this one, he's funny non-stop from start to finish.

Some other comedians with really good long acts or full sets that you can watch are Eddie Murphy, Lee Evans, Jerry Seinfeld... (can't remember any more at the moment).

Robin Williams is always great doing stand up. Others worth mentioning in my opinion: George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, Lewis Black, Denis Leary.

I used to think Bill Hicks was really good. But after having seen most of his stuff I think he's really overrated, am I the only one?

I second George Carlin, my favorite comedian, he's just so fucking good at nailing his jokes.

Definitely overrated, mainly by drug users in my experience.

Forgot about Louis CK. Real goofy but good stuff.

Hicks rules.

Any Brits seen Ricky Gervais' standup stuff? Opinions? Love Office and Extras, not so sure about him when he's not acting...

HAHA! I've seen this before. I have the whole stand up in fact. Classic. He's great as a stand up and on the silver screen.

"How the fuck can't you find a 6'5" Arab with a bag stickin out of his hips"

"Gandhi jeans....."


LOL, Robin is just awesome.

Bill Bailey is now my second favourite comedian.
Then George Carlin.
Then Eddie Izzard.

Bill Burr is awesome too.

Hicks just really doesn't do it for me. His comedy just seems to me like some guy with a microphone ranting about politics, religion, and how much the world sucks. Sure, Carlin did that too, but at least Carlin was funny. Hicks just starts to sound like a monotonous droning after awhile.

BACON! he was quite funny. some of the stuff he said would've just sounded boring said by anyone else, but he had such a funny way of talking.

Louis CK is also pretty funny from waht i've seen.

Billy Connelly

I love him, I love Bill Baily too, I've seen him live. Franky Boyle is fucking hilarious. I've seen some other guy live too, that Russel summat from mock the week, it was OK.

His multiethnic comedy routine is hilarious, one of the best.

George Carlin was THE master of delivery.
No Rodney Dangerfield fans?
