Re: Best Comedian in the world?
Any good Australian comedians? Or any at all? There certainly aren't any working for any of the local TV channels.

Re: Best Comedian in the world?
Does anyone find the Les Patterson character funny? I don't think I've ever heard a word because my eyes and brain are reminding me how completely repulsive he is 
He's good at the Dame Edna thing when he's 'interviewing' celebs but apart from that????

Re: Best Comedian in the world?
Went to the paper shop....it had blown away.
I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years.
Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I woke up the pillow was gone.
Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks....They charged one and let the other one off.
A woman told her doctor, 'I've got a bad back. 'The doctor said, 'It's old age. 'The woman said, 'I want a second opinion. 'The doctor says, 'OK. you're ugly as well. '
'You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine. 'So that was nice.'
A man walked into the doctor's, The doctor said 'I haven't seen you in a long time'....The man replied, 'I know I've been ill'
A man walked into the doctor's, he said 'I've hurt my arm in several places'...The doctor said 'well don't go there any more'
I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already.
Went to the corner shop - bought 4 corners
'So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?'
And a voice said, 'You are.'
'So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said ' Is that the local swimming baths?' He said ' It depends where you're calling from.'
I went to the doctors the other day and I said, 'have you got anything for wind'....so he gave me a kite.
I went to the Doctors the other day, and he said, 'Go to Bournemouth, it's great for 'flu....So I went, and I got it.'
I was in the attic the other day with the wife. Damp and dusty.........but she's great with the kids!
So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house'. He said 'I'm not stopping you.'

Re: Best Comedian in the world?
There are actually loads of Australian comedians, some good, some terrible. And some foreign comedians that are famous only in Australia - Jimeoin and Danny Bhoy are two examples.

I keep hearing about Kevin Bloody Wilson but I have yet to hear anything funny attributed to him.
I shall keep a weather eye open for the others.

Re: Best Comedian in the world?
Tommy Cooper was simply the most funniest man alive, he even had the audience laughing when he had his fatal heart attack on live tv .. I remember watching it.
Billy Connolly used to be funny,then he went to simple dire.
Eddie Izzard is fantastic, but also Michael McIntyre is very good .. look him up on youtube. heres one.
Another very good one though is Dara Ó Briain. Class Link!
