I picked on Michael McIntyre on purpose, yeah. Partially because everyone else picks on him. Observational comedy is not my thing but I still think he gets a rough ride. The Alanis thing was a set by Ed Byrne, friend of Dara, about ten years ago.
You like exactly the same people I do. I've worked out David Mitchell's schtick but I still really love it. Dara is someone I'll love until my grave because he's actually a really nice man considering his profession.
As for Bill Hicks, I think he's the funniest American who ever lived. Apologies to Lenny Bruce, and Richard Pryor.
P.S. Tim Minchin's Angry (Feet) is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Oh, Ed Byrne is another one who's absolutely fantastic. A whole group of my now best friends went to see him live only a couple of months before I met them, and I've rarely been more jealous of anyone in my life.
Hmm, well, for the avoidance of jealousy, I'm not telling you the list of who I've seen. :P
But what I will do is to recommend live comedy to you almost as a religion. When you are part of an audience that's being worked by a comedian who knows what he is doing, something inside you soars.
Why type of humour amuses you most?
