Best current British Comedian...

[Mattztar]

This ones mainly or the Brits, but anyone can chime in with a suggestion.

Just wondering, who do you think is the best current british comedic talent.

They just need to be funny, british and have worked recently to qualify.

For me, I would put in the entire cast of Never mind the buzzcocks, the phonejacker, Russel Brand and Russel Howards.

But the winner has to be Noel Fieldings, especially his live stuff, for example:

OR, his AMAZING heckler rebuttal::

I have to go with Eddie Izzard myself. I had the pleasure of seeing him live earlier this year. Absolutely hilarious.

[Tommy]

Ricky Gervais....obviously

[Lasse]

Jhon Clees

[LampFace]

Hmm i tend to find Frankie Boyle of Mock The Week rather humerous.

[solardave]

Either Bill Bailey for the german hokey cokey

Stephen Fry, just because he is awesome.

Or frankie Boyle

[Randominator]

Bill Bailey I guess. Sean Lock is pretty damn funny as well though

Fixed. Also, I agree

[Mattztar]

All great comedians so far! Eddy Izzard was particularly hilarious at the secret policeman's ball.

Giraffes cant comunicate in any way, bar coughing.

And the legend that is Stephen Fry, Quite Interesting Extraudinaire!

Still though, Noel Fieldings's brand of random comedy is just side splittingly funny to me, guess its one of those each to his own things.

Wheatabix hands!

[LOLZILLA]

In my opinion, Frankie Boyle.

[CashClock]

I cannot believe nobody has said Peter Kay (even though he hardly does anything now, but in an interview he said he's gonna make for appearances now.)

[Otto]

Dylan Moran, by a landslide.

[bangyouredead]

does jimmy carr count?

[Ryuzaki1]

Frankie Boyle, Ed Byrne, Russell Howard and Bill Bailey.

[zrick]

Ricky Gervais - no contest.

[DingoTheDog]

Jonathon Ross and Russel Brand are a hilarious duet.

The BBC just had to release a statement apologising to Andrew Sachs, aka Manuel from Fawlty Towers, because of voicemails they left him.

Frankie Boyle

Ricky Gervais

Agreed.

THough, must admit I don't know that many.

[sirtom93]

Frankie Boyle and Louis Theroux.

[Mattztar]

HOW COULD I HAVE OVERLOOKED DYLAN MORAN!?!?!

I am a fool!

Funniest man alive. I actually made my whole class break down in stitches (teaher and temp included) when I quoted one of his live performances...

AND THEN THE CAGE COMES DOWN!!

Dylan Moran FTW

[phsychopath]

Carlos Maaaaanciaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I am sho shophisticated :3

[Mishypie]

Frankie Boyle, Al Murray, Bill Bailey, Hugh Denis, Andy Parsons, Russel Howard, Jimmy Car, Alan Carr, Shiraz Mira, Richard Ayoade, Chris O'Dowd, Ricky Gervais, Noel Fielding and Darren Lamb are my favourites, and in all the shows I watch :D

I also like Andy Parsons style of humour.

[Ledgey]

At the moment, Sean Lock is a personal favourite.

[TheMaster]

Russell Brand and Noel Fielding are appallingly bad.

The best is obviously Billy Connolly. Frankie Boyle and Bill Bailey are good, too.
