Seen Lee Evans last year in Manchester and he was brilliant, although not to everyone's taste.

Freddie Starr is on at the Parr Hall.

I find Al Murrey very funny but again not to everyone's taste.

Paddy Mcguiness is funny also.

Sorry, just seen this. Is he the guy who took his leg off on Mock The Week, the 'velcro' leg. If it's him, he's extremely funny.

Quite possibly, I've never watched Mock the Week.

I saw him in 2002 (I think, it might have been 2003) at the opening night of my university's comedy club. Obviously he was just starting out then playing gigs like that but he was absolutely hilarious.
