Comedian Image Comedian Name Quick Review (PKM)Rating 0:20 You Tube Link
Terry Alderton Grant Mitchell, Yul Brynner lookalike - Terry spends half of his set with his back to the audience battling the commands of his inner voices... go and see him 16 You Tube
Stephen K Amos Not sure what happened to him - He WAS funny once. A monumentally disappointing Fringe show.. Like an unfunny Lenny Henry. No actual jokes. 2 You Tube
Bill Bailey How can I possibly review the talented Lord of the hair creatures? 18 You Tube
Mitch Benn A good stand up, he sings stupid songs & plays a guitar, check out his song for the PH doommongers 14 You Tube
Steve Best Is this immature? one liners, slapstick, reliably good stand up show, not particularly original but pretty amusing 15 You Tube
Adam Bloom A small hyperactive oddball - is he handsome or ugly? he's fast and witty, go and see him but heckle at your peril though! 15 You Tube
Jo Brand Not everyone's cup of tea. She does have the odd amusing moment though.... 8 You Tube

Frankie Boyle You'll know him from Mock the Week 15 You Tube
Jo Cauldfield One of the better female stand ups 14 My Space Vid
Greg Davies A HUGE towering giant 6'8" tall, ex teacher - aka 'we are klang' & The Inbetweeners "Mr Gilbert", one of my favourites, a very funny man - I love him! --> 17 You Tube
Simon Evans I like him, he's educated and he has no eyes and would like to harness the power of Geordies 16 You Tube

Stewart Francis Canadian, one liners, great stand up show 15 You Tube
Rhod Gilbert Very talented Welshman - see this vid as evidence 16 You Tube
Brian Gittins Newcomer. Ricky Gervais is his biggest fan. Might give you a clue what to expect if you see his show. He will undoubtedly be appearing on a sitcom soon 6 YouTube

Steve Gribbin Plays guitar, sings stupid songs. He's from Liverpool 12 You Tube

Richard Herring He's great, 'The Headmasters Son' is now reclaiming Hitlers Moustache to prove to you how absurd racism is! he's very talented and if you're gonna be dumb, don't heckle....(old vid) 18 You Tube
Adam Hills Here he is explaining the Australian accent 12 YouTube
Pierre Hollins He's funny 15 YouTube
Russell Howard Love him or hate him - he's quite funny for a young Brissle boy 13 YouTube

Jeff Innocent I like him 13 You Tube
Jim Jeffries He's spazz approved! 14 You Tube
Milton Jones Amusing one-liners 15 You Tube
Russell Kane Check out his briliant 'human dressage' show, currently at the Fringe but heading on UK tour this Autumn... highly recommended! - gifted observations on our 'dance' of life.... 17 You Tube
Lloyd Langford Young, Welsh, not a lover or a fighter, he's very funny, talks about sex a lot - farily new on the comedy circuit but his '08 Edinburgh show was great 16 You Tube

Rudi Lickwood He's a funny man, check him out... 16 You Tube

Sean Meo Regular UK circuit stand up, he's ok. 12 YouTube
Al Murray a bit shouty, has an amazing memory for facts 12 YouTube

Matt Osborne Small, innocuous looking chap with a quiet steady pace, unexpectedly rude! very funny 14 You Tube
Andy Parsons You may have seen him on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo 12 You Tube
Greg Proops He performs a good rant. He's funny 13 You Tube
Christian Reilly He's Mr Shappi Khorsandi, he's got a guitar and he really hates Chris Martin and Sting 14 You Tube
Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue Double Act - slapstick meets surreal... music/word act - original idea - brilliant (the first time you see it) 13 You Tube

Gordon Southern He's quite good 12 You Tube

Paul Tonkinson He's quite funny 12 You Tube
Addy (van der) Borg F*ck nose, was much funnier when he was a lush 11 You Tube
Hugo Victor-Grant (Simon Brodkin) Another character from Simon Brodkin's repetoire - Hugo the Trustafarian but my favourite is still Lee Nelson 12 YouTube
Mark Watson He's a great live stand up, check out his clip 15 You Tube
Nick Wilty sharp observational stuff. He’s good. 15 You Tube
Mike Wozniak Hilarious, relative newcomer to stand up circuit, wears a marvellous porn moustache and his Dad is a Polish scientific inventor - brilliant! The vid doesn't do him justice but couldn't find a better one... 16 You Tube
Paul Zerdin Brilliant ventriloquist - don't be put off by that!!, but don't volunteer though - he's ace! 17 You Tube
Richard Herring Comedy legend, Oh F*ck I'm 40 was superb and Hitler Moustache is brilliant in concept and execution. Long thought provoking and funny story's leading to hilarious rants rather than quickfire jokes. (T89) 18 You Tube
Justin Moorhouse The bit part he had on Pheonix Nights does not do this guy justice, one of... actually the funniest comedy show I have ever seen. (T89) 19 You Tube
Paddy Mcguinness The big part he had on Pheonix Nights does do this guy justice, more than that it covers up his slight lack of talent. He kept people laughing in a shouty lowest common denominator kind of way. Painfully average and debuting his new Greggs advert during the show was severely lame (T89) 10 You Tube
Ivan Brackenbury This guy is a genius... well the guy who plays him is. The show is played out as a live broadcast to North Derbyshire hospital radio and is different and brilliant show. (T89) 16 You Tube


Marcus Brigstocke Superb stand-up comedian, quite old school but quick witted and brilliantly funny. (T89) 15 You Tube
