Well there’s a big question, but I’ll try to be brief. I’ve got a shelf full of DVDs and a folder on my PC with many gigabytes worth.

Billy Connolly is an all-time favourite from my early years of random. Seen him 3 times. Stewart Lee, Maria Bamford (saw her live last year), Sarah Millican, Doug Stanhope, Bill Bailey*, Dylan Moran, The Umbilical Brothers*, Lano and Woodley* are all great. (* Also seen live)

Some lesser known more recent comics I’ve discovered from the stand-up comedy subreddit are Chris Higgins, Django Gold, and Mike Baldwin. They’re all pretty unique and great.

This list could be ten times longer.

800 Pound Gorilla and Dry Bar Comedy are a couple of good YouTube channels for discovering new comics.

For long weird funny stories, I recommend Shayne Smith. He just put up a full show on the Dry Bar Comedy YouTube channel.

Love it. It’s one of my favourite forms of entertainment and pretty much the only thing I’ll go see live these days. Been a fan since the early eighties.
