Stephen K Amos is probably the best major comedian going around still:

I saw Stephen K Amos with the Faester when he was in Melbourne for the comedy festival, just recently. He was fantastic.
Aslo saw Eddie Ifft (who was ordinary) and a bloke called Sanderson Jones (don't ask). Good fun.

Sure did. :D
Unfortunately it isn't the whole thing but it has some connection in there.

A few of my favourite stand-up comedians:
Jack Dee Rich Hall Frankie Boyle Omid Djalili Sean Lock Reggie D. Hunter Rhod Gilbert Shappi Khorsandi Kevin Bridges
and Amos of course.
For the record, I can't stand Robin Williams, Russell Howard, Lee Mack and Joan Rivers. Ugh.

John Cleese's act at Montreal a year (or more?) back was very good. Mainly about his divorce if I recall.
It deserves mentioning that I hate Josh Thomas.

I can't stand Michael McIntyre and Russell Howard. Ricky Gervais's shtick is also wearing thin.

I saw Dylan Moran on Wednesday night -
'Best thing to do with a vegan at a dinner party? Give them a torch, direct them towards the garden and tell them to find something for themselves'.
'Anyone who COMPLETELY dismisses the idea of God and the Devil hasn't ever been kissed properly ... or flown on Ryanair hungover'.
'The Archers has ran on Radio 4 for 60 years, and I still don't know what it's about ... because when it comes on, I leap across the kitchen looking for the 'fuck off' button on the radio'.
'All that 'soulmate' stuff is bullshit, there are millions of people out there who like EXACTLY the same things as you ... cheese, freedom from religious persecution, and sitting down'.
'Jason Statham is SO manly, the only way he would make love to another man is if that man contained vital information that could only be released via the enzymes in sperm'.
