Does Al Porter qualify?
Incredible how Mario Rosenstock hasnāt got a mention yet.
Maybe itās because people have forgotten that he is actually a comedian, theoretically at least.
Oliver Callanās greatest achievement is to make Mario Rosenstock comparatively funny
Heās also a repugnant cunt.
I went to see him in Kilkenny a couple of years back. Thought Iād never get out of the fucking place
So basically we havenāt produced a decent comedian since Dermot Morgan?
Dermot Morgan was a genius, be hard-pressed to match him.
But there are a handful of good ones.
Good ones
Dylan Moran
Jason Byrne (live only)
Dara O Briain
Tommy Tiernan about 50% of the time
Barry Murphy
Bad ones
Karl Spain
Delamere
Colin Murphy
O kane
Kevin Gildea (one of the worst sets iāve ever seen in Gibneys one night)
Ed Byrne
Also, I think whether we like it or not, the whole world is pissing themselves laughing at Brendan O Carroll so heās got to go down as a funny cunt.
Winner
Iāve met him a few times and find him really hard to talk to. Heās always āonā trying out material. Itās quite offputting.
You should give him a job, Iād say he could do with it.

Pat Shortt is very funny.

Itās mainly auld people that like his shite, so the pissing mightnāt be related to the laughing.

I saw Morgan doing stand up and he was fucking awful. Came across as an arrogant cunt. Got cross because people werenāt laughing.
Would agree with all the bad ones there.
Never heard Gildea say anything remotely humorous.
Deirdre OāKane is just donāt get at all.
Anything from BBC Northern Ireland comedy wise is always atrocious.

Saw him MC a comedy show in Dolanās once years ago and he was very funny although Iāve only really heard him on the radio a couple of times since and he was not so funny.
Jimeoin. Odd nordie cunt that was making a name for himself in oz back in the day. Most irish comedians are shite. I donāt find tiernan one bit funny for some reason.
You were a demon to work back then Piles. Sorted me out for ale when required. Tip o the hat to ya sir
Pat Shortt is very funny
Dats riiiiiiiiiiiiight
