Ross Noble ( I nearly die everytime I watch him. I literally nearly did when I saw him at Manc. opera house, so close to going of the balcony) and Michael McIntire, Ed Byrne also brings me amusement.
I saw Dara O'Briain earlier this year and he is absolutely hilarious seeing Rhod Gilbert in a couple of weeks for the second time also very funny.
Bill Bailey is one of the best live comedians in the past 10 years, Tim Minchin will be a future man to watch but Bill Hicks is my all time favourite comedian.
