I fucking love(ed) Bill Hicks and I've got a few of Jim Jefferies stand up's on MP3. Bill Burr is another one that's good.
If you love(d) Bill Hicks, I would thoroughly recommend George Carlin. |

You'd probably like Doug Stanhope if you go for Hicks/Carlin types.

Doug Stanhope just goes that bit too far for me on occasion. I fully believe you can laugh at anything, as long as there's a point to what you're saying and you're not solely saying it because you should be allowed to.

Daniel Kitson is, to my mind, the greatest stand up working today. Me and my mates have followed him round the capital to gigs for years. He doesn't do TV, after an awful experience on Peter Kayes Phoenix Nights, but he does have some recordings of his shows (as well as some of his plays) are available on his website http://www.danielkitson.com/audio.html |

Kitson is ace. I saw him do a play called tree with tim key in January. Never seen his stand up but have the recording, really really good. As a lefty I do like mark thomas. He has some good ones available as well.

I'm not a big fan of his but Mark Thomas... his Radio 4 Special on his Dad and the Opera was very very very good.
both Moving and funny at the same time

Another one for Kitson here. There are loads of others who are worth a look, like Sara Pascoe, Bridget Christie , Rob Delaney, Andy Zaltzman and Nick Doody who I've like when i've heard bits of but never seen whole sets. Then there is Stewart Lee...

There's plenty of Stewart Lee shows available for download I think
I saw Delaney recently, and was a bit disappointed with his set*, I do love 'Catastrophe' though
*Bridget Christie was supporting, and she was excellent

Similarly on Radio 4 - Mark Steels in Town is worth a listen. Also Rich Hall |

Another Kitsonite here. Not just his comedy, his one man play about two lives was funny and emotional... Beautifully done.
Milton Jones is a favourite, too.
Johnny Vegas stand up is also excellent.
