Who is everyones favourite comedian at the moment? my fav 3 are:

1. Jasper Carrot
2. Eric Idle
3. Johnny Vegas

I don't know if you have heard of any of thses. I don't know how popular these people are outside of the UK, well except for Eric Idle who is known all around the world.

I don't even think I've heard of Eric Idol. ;)

My favorites are...

George Carlin

Chris Rock

Jerry Seinfeld

Eddie Murphy (though I haven't seen him do any standup material in nearly a decade)


My one complaint about all of them is they curse too DAMN much! No really, they use words which are so offensive they shouldn't be seen by a younger audience. I certainly can't share most of my favorites with my teenage son. Sometimes profanity is part of the joke (I can live with that), but sometimes it's just added for shock value.

Epnoa,
Billy and his fart jokes...I laughed myself to tears watching Tom Snyder interview him on the old Late Show with the conversation leading around to and staying on flatulence. Funny funny man!
