CatchBadCrow
Is Tony Law nationalised yet? Always had a sweet spot for Dan Antopolski too.
Alberny
Seriously? Where is Jimmy Carr?
modalnode
+1 for Stewart Lee
clowndrawn
Sarah Pascoe, Dane Baptise, Gary Delaney, Paul Tomkinson, Lee Nelson. Few from abroad Reginald D Hunter, Mike wilmot and Henning Wehn.
azabethsiege
Absolutely! Sarah Pascoe and Henning Wehn are brilliant. Only recently heard of Dane Baptiste through Adam Buxton's podcast but liked him
asparrowandwolf
Yasss Kevin Bridges!
Tobeeornottobee
Whaaaat about David Mitchell? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3CDdiBlpXE
Tobeeornottobee
Or Alan Davies??
ACanary
Where is Russel Howard @OP?
stavrosmuellerbeta
Where's Richard Herring? RHLSTP is one of the best things on the Internet, he interviewed a fair few of the comedians on the list too!
StannisBaratheonTheOneTrueKingOfGrammar
Cheers, mate! Or whatever Brits say. Lots of new (to me) names here!
RadishIsAMeat
Lots of bad names here, barrel scraping. Kevin Bridges is hilarious but I can see a lot of US folks having problems with his accent.
Bardcrest
Upvote for the EXECUTIVE transvestite.
JamesSmillie96
Sarah Millican is the Amy Schumer of England
pr0nty
Dude. No. Not even close.
leslieknopesdarkside
I think she's funnier than Amy. Love Amy too though.
AMenacingTeaTowel
Fun fact, I'm from the same town as Sarah Millican and my mother is close friends with her, she's amazing!
HighSlayerRalton
Jack Carroll made a splash of Britain's Got Talent. A Simon Cowell-hater ran on stage and few eggs at him, later that night, Jack (1/2)
HighSlayerRalton
opened with a lamentation that the "throw eggs at Simon Cowell" part of his act was ruined. (2/2)
CatPluff
Greg Davis is my favourite ever.
ProfessorSpark
You'd think you'd spell his name correctly if so.
CatPluff
Haha, sorry auto correct decided how to spell that one I'm afraid. Do apologise.
afoxamongstchickens
To be fair, that is how it is pronounced.
azazyel
Here are some Brits on Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRlMGIhIur4
TurboToast
Not watchable in england. Cruel, cruel irony.
Drougals
Blocked in your country by channel 4! I'm in fucking England!
azazyel
It was the most recent 8 out of 10 cats (not countdown)
Traest
Great list, though I'd add Danny Bhoy and Daniel Slots too!
Traest
*Sloss, not slots.
HighSlayerRalton
You can't give us just ONE picture of Bill Bailey.
AdmJota
Does this help?
HighSlayerRalton
My reaction:
Yes.
TheodoreWitchfucker
Omid Djailili is damn good too.
Skeenzy
I would add Dylan Moran to this list as well as Jon Richardson, Russell Howard and John Robbins as well
leslieknopesdarkside
As above, but to be clear why the Irish would be bothered, Dylan Moran is Irish, not British.
SnugglyBurrick
There was a lot of bother made about this distinction fairly recently, from a historical perspective
SlapMyBirchUp
Amen to Jon Richardson
LisaJWho
Paul Sinha is also a quiz champion and a Doctor
stavrosmuellerbeta
Does a great show on Radio 4 too
thestainlesssteelratsavestheworld
What's it called?
stavrosmuellerbeta
Paul Sinha's History Revision, they're comedy lectures on themes/subjects - very well done.
thestainlesssteelratsavestheworld
Thanks mates, i'll tarck them down. I really enjoyed the Mark Steel lectures so these should be right up my alley.
pinkhelga
Only know the Sinhaman from The Chase. Had no idea he ever did stand up.
AJCanuck
No Jimmy Carr?
AdmJota
That's how you know you can trust OP's recommendations.
AluminiumMonster43
I can enjoy Jimmy Carr as a host, but his stand-up is painful
AJCanuck
TO each their own, I think he's brilliant because he's so quick and edgy...away from the boring monologue types
TheSkipjack95
No Dylan Moran either
leslieknopesdarkside
Dylan Moran is amazing, but he's Irish, not British!
deeznutzaretaken
Jimmy Carr is ok.. recycles his stuff too much though
AJCanuck
Yeah, but he has so much material, I'll let it go...besides, any comedian who does a new album every 2 years is cool with me
deeznutzaretaken
I think he suits tv shows better! Like 8 out of 10 cats is amazing
OhDearLordIDeletedMyLastAccount
any comedian who comes up with the line "wetter than a spastics chin" gets my vote
Whiplash1986
Do people still find Lee Evans funny?
WillowRosenberg
Nope, never have.
OhDearLordIDeletedMyLastAccount
I used to hate his stuff, but he's grown on me in the past 10 years or so - my fave comedians are a touch darker, so he's like light relief
haveueverwentfast
Never have, never will.
TheAfroClam
I liked him in There's Something About Mary and The Fifth Element. Other than those two movies I know ZERO about him. He's a comedian?
RadishIsAMeat
Lee Evans is funny cos Jack Dee writes his stand up stuff. The only thing I don't like about Lee is the physical comedy which is just boring
battymackay85
Nope.
blahtotheblahblah
ColonelCouch
Ant and Dec are a duo in England
ChipCSkyrocket
Nor U

Thispostisaboutacat
TIL Sara is British and a comedian
Dickerty
Comedian is a loose term with her, IMO!
BookerTheBookkeeperHooker
seeing some clips on her in youtube. she's quite funny, actua;;y
deeznutzaretaken
A very funny Geordie at that

Yes James Acaster! He's bloody brilliant!
LapisLazuli94
Sweet home Ketttttteringa..nananananana
Totallyirelephant
Kettering Town FC!
GeneVagina
Romesh Ranganathan is pretty good too
HarveyDaBeast
He's so funny Live.
TacticalBadger
There's a show called Taskmaster, hosted by Greg Davies and he's a contestant. Funny as fuck.
GeneVagina
Love them both. Saw Greg Davies live a few years back.
CutOfYourJib
Just finished series 3; loved it!
NinjaGrizzlyBear
Thanks for setting me on a YouTube marathon...I forgot to feed my dog, but at least I was laughing while doing it
GeneVagina
Ha, you're welcome. Hope Doggo got fed at some point!
ReleaseRickyMartin
I'd highly recommend adding Billy Connolly to this list
Sklumlord
Greatest story-teller ever.. "Live at Odeon Hammersmith", "Erect for 30 years", "Live in New York" and more.. So great!
ash020
I know right, i only scrolled down to see which bit of Connolly they used, so disappointed
HighSlayerRalton
Ah, the big yin.
GeneVagina
Going to see him on Sunday in Sheffield and I'll be ticking something off my bucket list. Can't wait.
MrtheOffender
Damn right!
Pishaw
Also needs Craig Ferguson.
Drougals
He's not really famous in UK
thehungryguy
and Dara Obriain
sirslouchalot
except he's not british
[deleted]

Moobbles
You have no idea. Watch some Dave Allen. Another great Irish comedian.
ukkingwithyourshit
No one denies that we are part of the British isles but being part of it doesn't make you both British and Irish.
WinchesterTavern
He is fantastic! But he's Irish.
HoodsBallsOnASkillet
He appears on loads of British television, he gets a pass
LuxCaelum
Chill out, we aren't from there so we get to be ignorant. Tho, great funny little green people.
WinchesterTavern
He is my favorite stand-up comedian!
LuxCaelum
Dara? He is good, but not that good. I personally prefer Dylan Moran.
cocoakoumori
Please, never say that again. I rarely cringe but that one got me.
LuxCaelum
Dunno man, sounded good in my head. Happens to me from time to time.
deeznutzaretaken
I agree, his older stuff though! Think he's losing it a bit now
Livlalala
He has Parkinson's.
deeznutzaretaken
He does indeed! My mother went to see him last week and he's got a sense of humour about it atleast
PGTipsMonkeh
Aye, as did my own folks. She tell you about the joke with the sunbathing cat?
deeznutzaretaken
No, just the one about keeping his hand in his pocket to control the Parkinson's lol
Drougals
Cant tell if thaTs parkinsons joke or not
mirrorball0
Oh....but he is a Scot! I don't think he would like to be categorized as British. Also, talking about Black books, went to see Dylan Moran,
exoticpickle
Frankie Boyle made me realise my love for dark humour.
Bortus
It was Louis C.K for me.
Ruudeboy
He put on some weight
ChaoticScholar
Well looks like he was closer to Susan than he knew
Noracs
"The strong, powerful sun is making me sweat. Oh shit here comes his dad!"
Lisb3th
Irish, but Dara O'Briain. Amazingly hilarious, YouTube "Dara video games."
AlexanderFieldisnotmyrealname
He was the inspiration for "Despicable me"
ArdentSlacker
To those not in the UK, he counts. FFS, he hosts Mock the Week.
SnugglyBurrick
Doesn't make him British, so shove it up your London derrière
ArdentSlacker
I'm from the US. We find tiny nations adorable, and if you share any element of gov't... we'll think of you as one country. Just like us! :D
SnugglyBurrick
But we don't. We're a completely different country. Also, mildly annoyed you didn't pick up on my joke in the second half there
ArdentSlacker
Still don't get it.
