"Did you google a list of comedians? They're too alphabetically organized to have come off the top of your head. " I had a very long shower after football thinking about it. Then (and this bit’s going to blow your mind) I used the notes app on my phone to move about the page, putting them into alphabetical order as I typed them. Crazy times. | |||

"Bob monkhouse is the level to which all stand up up comedians should aspire to, his stand up as and memory for jokes was awesome. A modern day comparison is Dave Gorman." I remember Bob Monkhouse being on tv and the remote was too far away and I was too lazy to move to change the channel.... I'm so glad, because I was in stitches watching him, and his word association was literally mind blowing! | |||

"that does the ventriloquism with masks is hilarious" She's fit as well!

"As far as unfunny comedians go I'm throwing Gina Yashere in the hat. Utter shite. His glasses were so thick he could read my mind!! Come on, she’s funny" Nope. She has one recurring joke about her mum when she does the Nigerian accent.
Funniest foreign comedian I've seen live was Rich Hall. Absolutely hilarious with his hoedown band. | |||

"Bob monkhouse is the level to which all stand up up comedians should aspire to, his stand up as and memory for jokes was awesome. A modern day comparison is Dave Gorman." He's another one I find weird. I'd sit there going "Hmmm, that was a funny joke, good idea, good setup, good punchline...so why am I not laughing? Like, on paper he's funny, but something in the delivery just left me cold | |||
