At the moment I'm really into the 2nd series of The IT Crowd - They're all v. funny, but I think Richard Ayoade is a genius. Been following him since Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. He's filming something at the moment called Bunny and the Bull, co-starring The Mighty Boosh. Another funny fellow is Chris Addison - v. witty. Didja' see The Thick of It? His own sit-com was on recently, called Lab Rats.
I love the anarchic stuff! 
Who's your pick for rising comic comet?
No I haven't seen much of Harry Hill's stand-up, though I did used to watch The Harry Hill Show or whatever it was called which was great!
Haven't seen The IT Crowd or The Thick of It either actually!  Been meaning to as I've heard good things about them both. The Inbetweeners is really funny, really well written. Have you seen Coupling? That's one of my favourite sitcoms ever, it's totally genius.
Mmm, not sure what rising stars I've come across recently... saw some of already-established comedian Stewart Francis for the first time the other day though, he's a Canadian one-liner guy.
Here's a great clip of an appearance he made on Mock The Week.  |

Got so caught up on a debate on FYC 464 I posted my list there by accident!
Here's the real thing, with an apt commentary on said debate.
Thanks to Beanmimo for the heads up. |

| Good. I've added a fifth to my original four. The 6-letter review is so stupid that it should be spelled "stoopid", but it amuses me. |

It appears I updated my FYCs and didn't post the link, or possibly the recovered site predated my post (I don't remember).
Possibly all of Salopian's rules, and the exceptions thereto, deserve their own thread.

Love the first season. This guy ruined the last two seasons for me though (with some exceptions when he was somewhat absent). Why the writers think he must do sexual jokes every time he's on is beyond me.
Rockgolf, "Two Che." is awesome! |

I really have to say that I regard the use of the adverb "secretly" in the above sentence to be both grammatically inelegant and entirely unnecessary.
Simply the use of the adjective "secret" would have been more accurate and less grating.
You are very welcome to highlight grammatical errors of mine, but the above is not one. I considered both entirely valid forms and favoured the subtly different meaning in the one I chose. |
