Post Your Comedy Heroes.

I went to watch Mark Watson live, it was awful.

Non jokes all the way through, anecdotes that didn't have anything like a ring of truth about them.

He also stopped midway through his performance and pointed out that a particular member of the audience was not laughing. Like a mini breakdown I think.

I find most comedians funny except Bill Hicks and Lee Evans.
I even prefer women comedians to those two.

I really used to like Dave Allen. I think he was one of the best story telling comedians of all time. This is a video of him explaining his first day at religious school. Truly shows the balminess of the whole thing in a really funny way.
