Which country do you feel have the best comedians?

[lex lata]

the Irish and the scottish make me giggle in general, but I love the sattire and sarcasm that we posess.
In fact, I'd say that the Aussies were pretty close for a second spot, but the English first place.

It comes down to the stand up we currently have, such a high level.
I think we are better now than when we had the "classics" such as Tommy Cooper, M&Wise and the Two Ronnies.

With the likes of Jimmy Carr, Lee Evans, Jack Dee and other uber sarcy borderline offensive comics, we lead the field in lol comedy.

Cult progs like 'the office' and the 'I.T. crowd'

Heres a few scottish comedians for consideration.




Rory Bremner, Billy Connolly, Rikki Fulton, Armando Iannucci, Phil Kay, Ford Kiernan, Fred MacAulay, Greg Hemphill, Frankie Boyle, Hector Nicol, Sanjeev Kohli, Jonathan Watson, Tony Roper.

Sanjeev was born in London (England) and his parents are Indian.
Tommy was born in Wales but was English Spoken.

And so on.

besides.. with Mitchell and Webb, on any scale, we win.

besides theedge missed the fact that none of the comedians he listed are infact FUNNY.

Tommy couldnt have been Welsh could he? The Welsh arent listed for a reason

Does anyone watch Mock the Week the Scottish guy on that is fucking hilarious!!! Frankie something?

I think it all depends on what people find funny, I persoanally can not stand Lee Evans.

CSmith07 you are very naughty. You are not allowed to vote for yourself and as you are the only comedian form Scotland your vote should be deemed void.
