My sister got to see the Troll tour but alas I missed it. I have the DVD though and remember his European siren piece well. :) I played some to my French girlfriend, but she didn't seem to get it and was bored after just 3 minutes. :(Gavinhttp://www.paris-in-photos.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-82835746931621129942008-08-25T19:53:33.129+02:002008-08-25T19:53:33.129+02:00Mitch Hedberg and Bill Maher are also worth checking out, just FYI.T.D.

I had no idea he was well known in the states!!! Oh My God I reeeeally love comedians, I mean good comedians, I can't get enough of them. They give me this kind of warm feeling. <BR/><BR/>I thank you for the 'humour' spelt the english way ;-)<BR/><BR/>It's intelligent comedians that I love the most. I mean stupid ones can make me crack a smile, but intelligent comedians actually get me thinking <I>and</I> make me laugh. <BR/><BR/>Am checking out Demetri Martin on Youtube as I type. Already I am laughing, what a cutie as well huh!<BR/><BR/><B>DP</B> He <I>is</I> the bees knees but you <I>do</I> fancy him. Yes you do!<BR/><BR/><B>Ghosty</B> You <I>see</I>?!! That's how sad I felt, I was pining after Scottish cow shit!!<BR/><BR/><B>Jane</B> Oh My God. You <I>saw</I> Bill Bailey <I>live</I>?! I am <I>so</I>jealous!!! I wanted to go see him at the festival last year but got there too damn late. It was sold out. But oh God that man is a genius!<BR/><BR/><B>Leah</B> Yeah! I thought his French was pretty good too! He's a clever man. Am enjoying Demitri, am enjoying very much!<BR/><BR/><B>TD</B> I have read and noted all the names here because I don't actually recognise any except Eddie Izzard! It's shocking isn't it? The only American stand-up comedian I actually know of is Chris Rock. That has to change. Youtube here I come...Princesse Ecossaisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938659907086018288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-3714618399669351702008-08-25T16:34:17.088+02:002008-08-25T16:34:17.088+02:00Oh man, that is some funny stuff. Yeah, like Micah says, we love Eddie Izzard. For me he ranks right up there with George Carlin and Lewis Black as "people who can make me laugh the hardest by pointing out stuff I already knew."<BR/><BR/>And yes, Demetri Martin is hilarious. Micah also loves this guy named Nick Swardson. If you have a chance to check out his Comedy Central Presents (it has a picture of him as a baby on the back of the stage), you might actually pee your pants laughing.T.D.

His French sounds pretty good! I third what the others said about Demitri Martin. I found a few clips a few months ago on youtube and I found him quite funny, so enjoy!Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14698816373406087611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-31866036907195196092008-08-24T18:39:57.486+02:002008-08-24T18:39:57.486+02:00I saw Bill Bailey last week (he was up for the Edinburgh Festival) and Oh My God! I haven't laughed so much in ages! Half way thru the second half, my face was actually sore from laughing so much! If you get the chance to see the Tinselworm show I highly recommend it!<BR/><BR/>Micah - you are so right about Demetri Martin...I saw him at the festival a couple of years ago and he is soooo good. Thats probably the last time I laughed so hard before Mr Bailey! Princess, you should check him out on Youtube.<BR/><BR/>Glad you're feelin a bit brighter sweetie.<BR/><BR/>JxxJanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02280596112150496865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242707985769184521.post-87265292064962421422008-08-24T17:30:50.746+02:002008-08-24T17:30:50.746+02:00I just found it funny that you were pining for the smell of cow shit.

Never have I laughed so hard as when hearing him talk about religion. oh my god. We watched one of his films last night and I was DYING laughing! <BR/><BR/>English humour (the extra "U" special for you) is far more entertaining than American humor. Standard fare here is what I like to call "dick and fart" jokes...or bitter lesbians. It gets very old. I like that English humor is SMART. Eddie Izzard has got to be one of the most intelligent and well-versed people ALIVE. <BR/><BR/>And he speaks like 18 languages or something. <BR/><BR/>And don't even get me started on HOT FUZZ. that is some funny stuff!<BR/><BR/>Check out Jim Gaffigan or Demetri Martin if you want to see some quality American comedy...Micah D.L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04086947729396824745noreply@blogger.com
