Russel Brand

You'll be shocked to know that I find him very funny too.

I think you are thinking with a very similar organ that the men who like the Ting Tings use.

I enjoyed his book very much

So did I!

Both him and Ross have an act, it varies with the intended audience.

They are both smarter than you lot I'm afraid, how much fun do you have in your job and how does your income compare?

There's more going on with these characters than you're seeing.

Many if not most of the good comedians/entertainers are highly intelligent (e.g. Harry Hill, the Irish Guy, Monty Python crew, etc), though Ross and Brand buck the trend and make up for this deficit in other ways, by producing a form of car crash entertainment that you can't help but watch but feel ashamed of doing so.

Greatest comedian of all time:

Mmmm

Well, I did at first - he's getting a bit boring now.

I enjoyed his book very much, and saw him at the Sunderland Empire last year...I've DEFINATELY seen worse! I laughed quite a bit, although not as much as I thought I would.

I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate what a bunch of pretentious snobs you lot are.

Many thanks,

well challenged!

I agree Sal.

I find Brand very entertaining too - his live shows and his work on Big Brothers Big Mouth were excellent. He is a very observent and clever comedian who is can be both thought provoking and shockingly funny at the same time - no mean feat.

In fact, if some of the Daily Mail reading bell-ends on this website also liked him i'd be disappointed. They are exactly the sort of demographic who are so often the butt of his jokes.

I'd like to point out i'm not his boyfriend - despite having defended him twice on this website!

Has nobody spared a thought for the poor sweet innocent girl at the centre of this row? Apparently she was forced to pull out of her tour with the Satanic Sluts as a result of this.

Max Clifford's now involved. I smell a publicity stunt!

Well not being au fait with the current crop of British b-list celebs I had to check this one out and I recall now seeing him on BBBM when I was back in the UK some time back. He's about as funny as interesting as watching paint dry, about as funny as an African dictator and about as relevant as a corpse.

From the above I'm guessing you don't watch much live comedy.
What comedians do you think we like?

[Dante]

You're right - i don't watch as much live comedy as i'd like to. Decent stand-up doesn't really come south very often - I think its a notoriously tough gig.

In answer to your question - i couldn't really care less which comedians you like. I like to think it's probably 'comedians' like Peter Kaye, Avid Merion and Al Murray though.

...but that would just be too much.

Leigh Francis isn't a stand up.
Peter Kaye isn't a political comedian.
Neither is Al Murray.

My personal favourite is Stewart Lee who is a sort of British Bill Hicks, a thinking man or woman's comedian. He doesn't do naff observational comedy, or require pantomime costumes. He could run intellectual rings around that ponced up Piratey fool.
