| Comedian Image | Comedian Name | Quick Review | 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 | PKM 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. | PKM 2 | You Tube |
 |
Bill Bailey | How can I possibly review the talented Lord of the hair creatures? | PKM 18 | You Tube |
 |
Mitch Benn | PKM A good stand up, he sings stupid songs & plays a guitar, check out his song for the PH doommongers. T89 Very funny songs that are spot on the mark for most PH'ers view on the world but the comedy in between and his stage craft are a little lacking. | PKM 14 T89 12 | You Tube |
 |
Steve Best | Is this immature? one liners, slapstick, reliably good stand up show, not particularly original but pretty amusing | PKM 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! | PKM 15 | 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 |
 |
Jo Brand | Not everyone's cup of tea. She does have the odd amusing moment though.... | PKM 8 | You Tube |
 |
Marcus Brigstocke | PKM He's great, what more can I say? and he really hates Heather Mills. T89 Superb stand-up comedian, quite old school but quick witted and brilliantly funny. | PKM 16 T89 15 | You Tube |
 |
Frankie Boyle | You'll know him from Mock the Week | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Roy Chubby Brown | I Always thought he was old-school bigoted and rubbish, that is until a friend dragged me to see him, what a revelation, funny and energetic comedy and not as bigoted as made out, don’t believe everything you read in the Newspaper. It is crass and basic but still funny | T89 13 | You Tube |
 |
Greg Burns | He's ok | PKM 6 | YouTube |
 |
Jo Cauldfield | One of the better female stand ups | PKM 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! --> | PKM 17 | You Tube |
 |
Omid Djalili | Better as a live stand-up than as a BBC family presenter. Great comedy and great impressions, the Nigerian traffic warden is particularly brilliant. | T89 12 | You Tube |
 |
Simon Evans | I like him, he's educated and he has no eyes and would like to harness the power of Geordies | PKM 16 | You Tube |
 |
Michael Fabbri | Steamer recommends him - and I'll second that - he's got the internets covered... check out the vid! | PKM 14 | You Tube |
 |
Pete Firman | Comedian or Magician - you decide .... | PKM 12 | YouTube |
 |
Mickey Flanagan | He's funny. I like him | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Stewart Francis | Canadian, one liners, great stand up show | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Rhod Gilbert | Very talented Welshman - see this vid as evidence | PKM 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 | PKM 6 | YouTube |
 |
John Gordillo | Intelligent and funny -known for his Perrier Award nominated directing and writing for Eddie Izzard. You might know him from the RDA show. Catch his live shows if you can - he's a talented man. | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Jeff Green | Very good. | PKM 14 | You Tube |
 |
Steve Gribbin | Plays guitar, sings stupid songs. He's from Liverpool | PKM 12 | You Tube |
 |
Mike Gunn | He's ok. | PKM 13 | YouTube |
 |
Rich Hall | AKA Otis Lee Crenshaw, a talented writer as his '50cent words' & 'Campfire Stores' Fringe shows proved and he's great doing angry stand up - check the vid | PKM 18 | You Tube |
 |
Richard Herring | PKM 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). T89 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. | PKM 18 T89 18 | You Tube |
 |
Adam Hills | Here he is explaining the Australian accent | PKM 12 | YouTube |
 |
Pierre Hollins | He's funny | PKM 15 | YouTube |
 |
Russell Howard | Love him or hate him - he's quite funny for a young Brissle boy | PKM 13 | YouTube |
 |
Reginald D Hunter | He's rather good but not for those of a sensitive disposition... maybe it's his jokes about rape or Josef Fritzl? | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Jeff Innocent | I like him | PKM 13 | You Tube |
 |
Jim Jeffries | He's spazz approved! | PKM 14 | You Tube |
 |
Milton Jones | PKM Amusing one-liners. T89 Great dead pan one-liners with a hint of un-hinged lunacy. A bit like Jimmy car but much funnier. | PKM 15 T89 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.... | PKM 17 | You Tube |
 |
Daniel Kitson | Funniest comedian I've ever seen!!! | RTF 19.5 | YouTube |
 |
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 | PKM 16 | You Tube |
 |
Tony Law | A canadian who dresses like a rockabilly, very surreal act, likes to paint sharks gold, very funny, one of my favourites... check him out | PKM 17 | You Tube |
 |
Rudi Lickwood | He's a funny man, check him out... | PKM 16 | You Tube |
 |
Fred Macaulay | Yes we f king get it… you’re Scottish! Funny guy but the Scottish obsession ruins it, fell on deaf ears in Meribel |
T89 10 | You Tube |
 |
Andrew Maxwell | Pretty mental, loads of energy and very funny. Only comedian I have seen who tasers the audience (inc myself). | T89 12 | 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 |
 |
Michael Mcintyre | Here's his insight into Londoners and London life, love him or hate him, he delivers a strong stand up show | PKM 13 | YouTube |
 |
Sean Meo | Regular UK circuit stand up, he's ok. | PKM 12 | YouTube |
 |
David Mitchell | Not strictly a stand-up but I’ve seen him live a few times filming TV panel shows and he is seriously funny live. 90% of his stuff gets cut due to time constraints which is a shame as he is seriously quick witted and as funny as any stand-up, if you get a chance to see him at a TV recording do not pass up on the oppourtunity | T89 17 | 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 |
 |
Al Murray | a bit shouty, has an amazing memory for facts | PKM 12 | YouTube |
 |
Lee 'Neilsy' Nelson (Simon Brodkin) | His 'lovable rogue' character. Very clever, very funny. Do not heckle! | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Matt Osborne | Small, innocuous looking chap with a quiet steady pace, unexpectedly rude! very funny | PKM 14 | You Tube |
 |
Andy Parsons | You may have seen him on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo | PKM 12 | You Tube |
 |
Greg Proops | He performs a good rant. He's funny | PKM 13 | You Tube |
 |
Christian Reilly | He's Mr Shappi Khorsandi, he's got a guitar and he really hates Chris Martin and Sting | PKM 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) | PKM 13 | You Tube |
 |
Paul Sinha | A gay asian. It's the basis of his entire act. Amusing but not a genius | PKM 10 | You Tube |
 |
Will Smith | The other one! He's good. Catch him if you can | PKM 14 | You Tube |
 |
Gordon Southern | He's quite good | PKM 12 | You Tube |
 |
Ian Stone | He's not too bad, see his vid | PKM 12 | You Tube |
 |
Dave Spikey | Really old hat and not that funny | T89 8 | You Tube |
 |
Jim Tavaré | Looks like a dead person, plays a big violin, very good | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Paul Thorne | Not the most original material in the universe, but well delivered and amusing | PKM 13 | You Tube |
 |
Paul Tonkinson | He's quite funny | PKM 12 | You Tube |
 |
Addy (van der) Borg | F*ck nose, was much funnier when he was a lush | PKM 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 | PKM 12 | YouTube |
 |
Mark Watson | He's a great live stand up, check out his clip | PKM 15 | You Tube |
 |
Nick Wilty | sharp observational stuff. He’s good. | PKM 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... | PKM 16 | You Tube |
 |
Paul Zerdin | Brilliant ventriloquist - don't be put off by that!!, but I'd suggest you don't volunteer though - he's ace! | PKM 17 | You Tube |
