    I can't find a topic dedicated to this though I know it's been touched on a few times. Who is everyone's favourites? I have the Melbourne comedy fest coming up, hopefully get some inspiration to see someone new.

    I'm working through Bill Burr's specials at the moment. Outstanding stuff.

    I've always loved Michael McIntyre, has a great skill of making pretty mundane things really funny. Also doesn't rely on political stuff or mocking people which is nice.

    Ricky Gervais is probably my favourite at the moment - his Humanity show was superb.

    Rogan can be really funny too, loved Triggered though his newest one Strange Times wasn't as good.

    Good idea for a thread, keen to get more ideas on who to watch, especially those not as mainstream.

    Christine Pazitsky has a great Netflix special .

    Bert Kreischers one is decent .

    iliza shlesingers ones are average but she’s hot so I can tolerate that for a while.

    A list of decent kiwi comedians would be very very short . Leigh Hart , Billy T , Jason Hoyte , who else?
    Anyone off seven sharp has a lot of ground to make up to be considered an actual comedian .

    Yeah piss off Crucial you old misery guts. Leigh Hart has consistently provided comedy gold since the early 2000s.

    I agree Leigh Hart is great, Moon TV rates as the funniest NZ shows of all time IMO.

    He’s the male equivalent of that fat saffa dyke. Thinks he’s much funnier than he is.
    His only saving grace is that he hasn’t sullied himself on Seven Days

    Wash your whore mouth out . Jeremy Wells is a smug gurning twat devoid of talent and embodies everything that’s wrong with NZs entertainment industry.

    Yeah, seen McIntyre and Gervais live, both fantastic. Jarred Christmas and Tim Vine I saw at a 4 kiwis night out in Chiswick, Vine is an absolute one liner king.

    Daniel Simonsen is one I'd like to see more of:

    Going to see Rhod Gilbert in April, looking forward to that - one of my fave clips:

    Would. Mrs went t see her last year, said she crapped on in a girl power style too much and wasn't all that funny in the long run. Mrs has a terrible sense of humour though.

    I learnt to fly with Leigh Hart's brother, he was a pretty funny fucker too. Serious piss taker.
