    Yeah but I do have a sense of humour ...

    Leigh Hart has consistently provided comedy gold since the early 2000s.

    ...wait... just, sorry, no.

    Richard Pryor.
    Eddie Murphy.
    Bill Hicks.
    Sam Kinison.
    Dave Chapelle.
    Ricky Gervais.
    Bill Burr.
    And the incomparable George Carlin.

    I watch a fair bit of Netflix comedy and none of the modern ones compare.

    Sam Kinison was originally gonna be Al Bundy. Thank God Ed O'Neill was instead.

    Just tried watching some Joe Rogan...

    • I understand that recently he's had a podcast which seems to be lionized here, and watching.listening to a single "episode" he actually seemed reasonable...
    • and yeah, most of the stuff I've seen when he's been bald - not bad
    • But holy shit... he was fucking terrible when he had hair

    To be fair - I cringe whenever I somehow come across my own earlier attempts at literature and/or comedy.

    Edit:
    Just last week - a mate sent me an email reminding me of something I sent to the "Soldier of Fortune" magazine as a piss-take... was not as cringeworthy as most, but...

    Yes he did. Stop trying to pick apart my posts.

    Probably thinking of him hosting the Oscars but I think even he himself took the piss in his stand up about that.

    88 posts in and no one has yet mentioned the Big Yin?

    No comedian in recent decades has made audiences laugh or cry or piss themselves as much as Billy Connolly.

    When people do that 'who would you invite (alive or dead) to a dinner party?' thing I always imagine the absolute chaos if you had Billy, Spike Milligan and Robin Williams all riffing off each other.

    Just on Joe Rogan, it wasn't his stand up brilliance (or complete lack of) that got him to where he is now. It was his UFC hosting/commentary. Without that, or even his Fear Factor gig, I doubt anyone here would have heard of him.
