My Top 10 Stand Ups goes roughly something like this: 1 - Jimmy Carr 2 - Lee Evans 3 - Peter Kay 4 - John Bishop 5 - Ricky Gervais 6 - Jason Manford 7 - Paul Chowdhry 8 - Jack Dee 9 - Michael McIntyre 10 - Dave Gorman
@@TheCornishCockney I knew I'd get replies questioning my suggestions, but I didn't expect *Chowdhry* to be one of the questionable ones. Most *Southerners* like you usually pick out *McIntyre* (as Brits are obsessed with him) and *Gervais* (as Americans are obsessed with him) occasionally, but mainly you pick out *Kay, Bishop,* and *Manford* for the obvious reason that they're *Northerners.* Yet there's a reason why they regularly present or star in mainstream, high viewer shows, and that reason is because they're funny. I hate *Southerner, mainly upper-class or weird "comedy"* from people like *Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Dylan Moran, Josh Widdicombe, Bill Bailey, Stewart Lee, Phil Jupitus, Hugh Laurie, Ian Hislop, Paul Merton, Andy Parsons, Chris Addison, Dara Ó Briain, Stephen Mangan, Mark Lamarr, Mark Watson, James Acaster, Eddie Izzard, Simon Amstell, Matthew Holness, Matt Berry, Monty Python* etc (yes there's some Northerners and non-Brits in this, but I'm just talking about the Southern type of comedy). Basically every comedian that appears regularly on comedy panel shows, apart from *8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie To You* and *Celebrity Juice* as those 3 shows mainly have funny guests.
@UCw3AXGGyJLeKOrz9y5Y7Y5Q *Sarah Millican* = Ok, from the multiple stand-up compilations I've seen, and her guest appearances on panel shows. Not really funny though. However she's much better than 99% of female and American comedians, as 99% of female and American comedians are not funny. *Rhod Gilbert* = Ok, from the stand-up clips I've seen, and very good on panel shows. Best contestant on Taskmaster ever! *Lee Mack* = I remember him being OK at stand-up, although I don't remember much about them, or the sketch shows where he acted, however we all know what he does best, and that's panel shows. *Kevin Bridges* = Very good, from the stand-up clips I've seen, and very good on panel shows. *Jon Richardson* = Same answer as Lee Mack.
I grew-up watching Dave Allen, so when I randomly met him in a bar in Central London and ended-up having a good 15 minute conversation with him over a beer, it was one hell of a highlight to my life.
Dave Allen was a legend one of the funniest comedians you can find heaps of his stuff on TH-cam . He was always poking fun at his religious upbringing cheers
I remember my mum and dad howling watching him, we only had 3 channels, found him boring as was born 68 and didn't understand dry humour then, yet my happiest days were watching my mum and dad laughing with me tucked between them.
I remember loving watching Dave Allen when I was a teenager it was quite cutting edge for the time as he poked fun at religion and was just right for the eighties.
I have 2 sons whom I thought had a reasonable command of the English language - then they became teenagers. To my utter amazement they would make arrangements on the ‘phone with their friends using those brilliant conversational words like: Yo, Yeh, Yup, Hup, etc with no extra words to join them up. It’s a definite skill which made me, as their mother, proud😀😀😀
btw your intro welcomes are epic, a nice greeting to one's day! Just wanted to say :) [edit: and outtro too!] Great and SO true today! Brilliant, thanks!
It reminded me of "Kevin and Perry" another bunch of (Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke) clips you'll find hilarious. For example "Kevin and Perry at the dinner table sketch".
Dave Allen is one of the best story tellers ever. Sorely missed. I wonder what he would have made about today's world of Twitter, TH-cam, tick-tock etc?
Dave allen was truly amazing. From my experience boys start around the age of 13-14. Also from my experience I could understand what was being said, I seem to be able to translate what is being said to my son's dad. 🙄 There are so many more of Dave, you should watch the one where he's teaching his child to tell the time. Xx
See if you can find the interview with Billy Connolly and Tom Cruise re Last Samurai. Michael Parkinson is the shows host. It is almost a Billy Connolly concert, Cruise and Parkinson are crying with laughter.
Hi KB.Dickhead is just an insult meaning not very bright.The older style comedians relied on clever clean humour whereas the Jimmy Carr & others rely on swearing & offending every sentence as in 9/11.Jimmy Carr recently hit the headlines by cracking jokes about the holocaust.Some said it could be career threatening for him.You takes your choice what appeals to u.I'm surprised u haven't tried the great Benny Hill who was loved the world over.Even the Las Vegas mafia loved him & went to see him when he appeared there.Please try Benny Hill Wife Swap, real clever witty dialogue, very funny
I had it with my daughter as well .she got to the habit of giving me the hand and saying thoes immortal words by the bard ,What ever ,so next she wanted me to take her and her mates somewhere, she got it back ,hand and the proverb. For a week .it stopped. Toot sweet .
Sounds like me son Alan after he's come home from school. 'I've been too busy kicking a ball around to have had me lunch , make some tea now , I'm wasting away.
Been watching your reactions to Dave Allen vids and noticed you've not done one for a while. I see that all the ones you've done to now have been from his early 90s shows, but you really ought to look at his earlier stuff. He was particularly popular in the early 70s (his first show was actually on Australian TV). You'll see that in the vids you've reacted to, he's adopted the regular stand-up stance of, well, standing up. But Dave Allen's signature was that he sat down (You'll have seen the chair at the side of the stage), with a drink (and usually an ashtray) at his side, and tell gags and stories. His shows also contained some very funny sketches - you should seek out some of those. This is a short compilation of some of the best bits of his 70s (and a couple of 80s) shows, ending with one of his best sketches. th-cam.com/video/hh6R_pbAqjc/w-d-xo.html
King Boomer. You need to watch “Harry Enfield Kevin the teenager” when he goes from 12 to 13. Starts even younger now. 2 things. 1) Try Ozzy man - All classics but maybe try with “mantis v cat” 2) What do we call followers of King Boomer? Boomerites? Boomsters?
He was born in 1936. So, if he was still alive, he'd possibly be dead by now. By the way, another dead comedian you might be interested in is Bob Monkhouse. Mainly one-liners. He was like an older Jimmy Carr (apart from when he was younger). A bit of a Marmite comedian, perhaps.
Hi K.B., I don`t think I`ve seen you react to his sketches, they are well worth it. Look for (1/4 The Best of Dave Allen....The Comedy Sketches) for the first of 4 parts. Please try to include Callie in the reactions, I think you will both get a kick out of them.
I understand that it makes you sad that you never got to see Dave Allen live. Or meet him. Life can be cruel. We can find the people we can relate to, like on TH-cam, only just too late it seems. But there is a reason for everything. If you had seen or met him earlier you would also have been much younger at that time. So perhaps you might not have taken from that what you are taking from his shows now. Because now you are much more ready to take in what he had to say. Maybe when you were younger, he'd just come across as an old Irish b*st*rd . I also have my list of people that I would have so much liked to have met. Danny Kaye was one of them. He was an American comedian. (look him up on youtube) The other one would be David Bowie. I did see a live performance once but would have loved to see more.
You might enjoy Dylan Moran, another Irish comedian, more current. He's an intelligent guy giving the impression of being very simple. This is a good place to start. th-cam.com/video/zmwv3Ujwpac/w-d-xo.html

Wow! what a moment that must have been
I remember watching Dave Allen on TV on a Saturday night with my family back in the 80's. So funny.
Dave Allen was a legend one of the funniest comedians you can find heaps of his stuff on TH-cam . He was always poking fun at his religious upbringing cheers
Dave Allen was a great comedian in his day. I was a teenager myself watching him on TV. He's a great miss.
I remember my mum and dad howling watching him, we only had 3 channels, found him boring as was born 68 and didn't understand dry humour then, yet my happiest days were watching my mum and dad laughing with me tucked between them.
Dave Allen was a great story teller, that was where he was at his best
Dave Allen was just brilliant…just observational comedy at its best
I remember loving watching Dave Allen when I was a teenager it was quite cutting edge for the time as he poked fun at religion and was just right for the eighties.
It's a joy to experience comedians that take you on a journey with their stories, specially Dave Allen & Billy Connolly.
I have 2 sons whom I thought had a reasonable command of the English language - then they became teenagers. To my utter amazement they would make arrangements on the ‘phone with their friends using those brilliant conversational words like: Yo, Yeh, Yup, Hup, etc with no extra words to join them up.

Such a great storyteller, always delightful to see Dave Allen.
Great reaction. I agree, he was of our best comedians.
He was THE best and he always looked great.
Dave Allen, Master of Comedy and Timing jokes. Still has me in stitches
ah that brings back cool cool memories of my youth .
Now imagine him saying "Thankyou Mrs Patterson" like this, and you know exactly where Cathy Burke got her character Perry from!
They get younger every year!! This is the 70s or 80s at the latest - and if they spoke like that before they were 18 they would have got a slap 🤣🤣
Need more of Queen Boomer,her reactions are priceless ❤️ xx 🏴
Dave Allen was actually well known for his use of the 'f' bomb on TV!🤷🤔
I remember him telling a very long story, the audience were spellbound and you could have heard a pin drop.
You need to do a react to the outtakes of Ricky Gervais’s afterlife honesty mate choose any of them. Everyone will have u on stitches
Dave Allen the best. George Carlin great too, and ever more apt in today's dystopia.
I got what the kid was saying right from the start. I've had experience. LOL
btw your intro welcomes are epic, a nice greeting to one's day! Just wanted to say :) [edit: and outtro too!]
Great and SO true today!
Brilliant, thanks!
Oh dear, I actually started to understand the mumbling. I'm a bit worried now. No, really, Dave Allen was Brilliant. 🇬🇧🇺🇲😊

Grew up with DA. He was Awesome.Like back in the days when everything wasn't woke
Cheers for the memory buzz he did swear I've this was his TV show which was edited
Grew up on Dave Allen, he swears, believe me
To quote Rick Mayall as Richie from Bottom....."British Comedy....Best in the world..."

I'm in my 50s now, there is a pic in the 80s at 14, with a face like a slapped arse, 1st year got a dress for Christmas and no toys. 🇬🇧😮
He said plenty of curse words when doing a live show. Was more relaxed as he got older too.
Try harry enfield Kevin and Perry. Kevin turns 16. Years ago we used to call our eldest daughter Kevin.
If you haven't already seen it hunt out Dave Allan 'how I lost my finger'
You should watch stuff when he was younger. Pure genius.
If you haven't watched 'The Man Who Sued God' a movie with Billy Connelly - give it a watch

jasper carrot battle of the mole
I would agree it happens younger than 18
You should react to dave allen, airplanes, you'll love it
Kathy Burke ,comedy gold.. Saunders french & lumley hilarious female comedians.
Well worth a watch x
Kathy Burke = Yes.
French and Saunders = No.
Unless it's French on her own in The Vicar of Dibley.
@@danielgardecki1046 i liked an
ab fab.

Rob, Don't forget the - Kevin loses his virginity sketch as well - that one is priceless!

Hahaaa! Apparently it’s technically not their fault hahaa 🤗….thanks for this 👍, also Take look at “ Kevin turns 13 “ 😄
Also u must watch Sarah Milligan stand up. She looks sweet and then her story telling may break you! Keep the Queen nearby, she will love it. Xxx
You really should watch, Dave Allen - religious jokes. 13 minutes 20 seconds of none stop laughter.
Watch Mike Harding the Rochdale Cowboy he is funny
Hi K.B., I don`t think I`ve seen you react to his sketches, they are well worth it. Look for (1/4 The Best of Dave Allen....The Comedy Sketches) for the first of 4 parts. Please try to include Callie in the reactions, I think you will both get a kick out of them.
Try Billy T James-Chinese restaurant
I'd agree, 18 seems rather old. Perhaps things were different back in the 70s.

my lads were not like that
Watch some Freddie star videos!!
He did gow with the flow and used more "hard" language
Hiya King Boomer✋
oooooohhhhyes
I'm worried, I understand what he saying, I'm the wrong side of 80.
The longer Dave Allen's hair got, the worse his language became....
From uk quality
I know you enjoy silly British humour (spelt correctly), you should check out YT vid 'Top 10 Smartest Taskmaster Moments'
hey boomer what do you think of bill hicks
Not 15 its 9 lol
