I've been watching way, way, way too much stand up recently; but in doing so, I've had a lot of laughs, let me tell you! I thought I'd make a little compilation of some of my favourites of the moment, get you giggling along!
Russell Howard
Possibly my favourite comedian of the moment. His DVD had me in stitches from beginning to end- I'm not sure what it is about him that's so funny, but whatever it is, he pulls it off, because I've watched this again and again! "And what do poofs get? AIDs, bumlord!"
Michael McIntyre
I LOVE HIM! Observatonal comdedy is my favourite type- I love it when you can giggle and say, "That's true, as well!" McIntyre has this down to a fine art. He makes me belly laugh. And I wish I had a clip from his DVD to show you- maybe the "No Jew" part!
Alan Carr
He's gayer than the gayest gay, but that adds to his method of comedy. I can't help it, I adore him, he's adorable and funny. He's one of those 'so ugly he's cute' guys. Oh, I can't sum him up. Watch him and I guarantee that you'll either love him or hate him.
Jimmy Carr
It's a shame I couldn't find his Live At The Apollo performance on YouTube, but these skits are more than an acceptable alternative. I love Jimmy Carr's ironic manner and the way his jokes are always close to the bone. I'm not easily offended, so I just laugh and laugh!
Lee Evans
Oh, come on- you HAVE to like Lee Evans, bless his sweaty little heart. I can't help but laugh at him, and his XL tour was what got me into comedy in the first place. He's like the big Daddy of stand up, so kudos to him.

Funniest Shows On TV
Although I admittedly don't watch an awful lot of TV, the genre I plump for in general is comedy because I like a laugh. It just lifts my mood, and I forget whatever shit is on my mind because I'm giggling like a loon.
The IT Crowd
This is a new found love affair, but oh my God, I've never laughed the way I do at this show. I never did catch it when it was on TV, but thanks to the wonders of 4OD, I'm now fully updated and completely in love. There are about 4u8603560 funny moments per half-hour episode, and I LOVE Chris O Dowd! Then the guy that plays Moss is adorable. Seriously, watch the clips, and if you don't laugh, you're made of stone!
The Inbetweeners
This is the funniest and yet the most acurate comedic portrayal of teen life I have ever seen! It's funny; the character Jay actually really reminds me of one of our group of friends- in fact, it's uncanny! I can't sit through this show without pissing myself and neither should you. And the new series is on, dontcha know?
Only Fools and Horses
OFAH = classic comedy. In fact, the best sitcom that was ever produced. It's one of the only good things my Dad introduced me to, and I am so grateful because even after 47678962098 watches of every episode, I still giggle like a maniac. I piss myself every time- David Jason is a comedic genius, and Nicholas Lyndhurst is ideal comedic foil. I still prefer Unc over Grandad, although it's close!
Bottom
I love, love, love Rik Mayall! Ever since Drop Dead Fred (a long standing favourite) I'd been clamouring to check out the infamous sitcom starring Rik and his partner, Adrian Edmondson. And, althuogh you might think the slapstick nature of the show would put me off; it had the opposite effect! I love this show because it's just so silly, and I can't help laughing!
