I know Bill Hicks is lauded for how relevant his material remains to this day but that would be an amazingly prescient joke given he died in 1994! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, she is like. I properly fancy her. The missus makes fun of me when I'm all smitten with Aisling when she's on tv, says I look at the telly like a wee love-struck schoolboy! [emoji1] Reckon she's just jealous though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If we're talking about traditional standup/commentary:1. Billy Connolly2. George Carlin3. Bill BurrConnolly still has incredible sidesplitting replay value 40 years on. Master of everyday life storytelling.Carlin for his political and social insights.Burr for his 'everyday man trying to understand the world' shtick.All three for the giant middle finger they've always shown to their critics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Maybe I'm just jaded by the range of modern comics, but I watched Bill Hicks recently, for the first time in years, and found that it hadn't dated at all well. Most jokes seemed obvious and not controversial in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
