not sure if you're interested in stand up comedians as well but i'd heartily recommend both Dave Gorman and Bill Bailey Dave Gormans Googlewhack adventure... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...545644-7328417 Bill Bailey - Part Troll... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...545644-7328417 ::: TC Magazine :::

thanks everyone. I've already got peter kay things, Phoenix nights fast show and even got Spaced special edition.... and watched all Father Ted DVD already.. I couldnt get into Red Dwalf and Black Adder. Also, although no one mentioned yet, League of Gentlemen was bit too dark for me lol How about Harry Enfield? JiRaffe> I love stand-up comedy as well. Dave Gorman! I forgot about him. I enjoyed his book, was it, Are you Dave Gorman? I'm gonna buy Bill Bailey one as well! |

Mr Bean breaks comedy barriers - it's the only comedy that 'works' anywhere and IMO some of it is very funny particularly the early ones. The film is a bag-o-shite though. One Foot in The Grave is also very funny IMO. As is Only Fools and Horses. |

Stand Up - Ross Noble is cracking, wierdo. I forgot about league of gentlemen, one of my favourites. Harry Enfield used to be good, Fastshow did it better though. Mr Bean is a pile of shit. |

Yeah Are You Dave Gorman? was great. If you liked that you'll definately enjoy his Googlewhack Adventure. You should also check out Danny Wallace's (Dave Gormans housemate) book "Join Me", where he sets up his own cult without even trying. Saw Bill Bailey live a couple of months ago and I didnt stop laughin through the whole show. His techo-remix of George bush quotes was brilliant ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE = pile of pap (sorry seen.To) MR BEAN = even bigger pile of pap (not sorry) ::: TC Magazine :::

Comedy is in the laugh of the watcher. One Foot in The Grave always makes me laugh and Mr Bean usually makes me laugh. They aren't my favorites but I'd still always have them on my list. I'd also add Drop The Dead Donkey They Think it's All Over Have I Got News For You What would everyone pick if they could only choose 1 show? I'd choose The Fast Show. |

thank you, guys! I'm gonna order 1. Ricky Gervais- Politics 2. Peter Kay live 3. Dave Gorman 4. Bill Baily damn! all stand-up comedy now! need more TV series.. Mr Bean is funny, but bit harmless. I like quite offensive comedy. I've bought "Join me" but havent finished it yet. funny and spooky, how stupid the people are? Only fools and horses > it will be on TV anyway at Christmas? they are not TV comedy but I enjoyed Shan of Dead and Boys around me loved Sex lives of Potato men |
