I need a good laugh. US comedies are okay, too.

I saw that thread and went ahead and torrented In the Loop,
I just haven't watched it yet. I probably won't have
internet for a while in a few days so I'm trying to torrent
a bunch of stuff to keep me going

The acting masterclasses by Peter Serafinowicz make me laugh
everytime i see them.

The Ralph Fiennes one is brilliant, as is the Kevin Spacey.
Here's Al Pacino.

A lot of these comedians are boring, especially Lee Evans.
Not that he's entirely unfunny, I saw him on Jonathan Ross
and he made me laugh as a guest on that show. The guy doing
the impersonations is so dull and keeps pushing the same
idea without switching it up.

Who's the transvestite comedian. He's funny, but I don't if
he's in movies or not.

I second Matt Berry. It's something in his delivery or
something.

Serafinowicz?

I dunno why you mention "all these comedians" when appart
from two names only series have been mentioned.

"Transvestite Comedian"

Eddie Izzard, Dame Edna? Though Dame is australian.

Okay, I'm downing big train, spaced, brass eye, alan
partridge, and the day today. Really looking forward to all
of these, have heard great things about brass eye and I'm a
fan of Steve Coogan so Alan Partridge and the day today
should be well received.

Minus a few great sketches, series two of Big Train isn't as
good as the first. So you know.

You might enjoy the Mighty Boosh! Zephyr. I'm sure you're
seen/heard the Old Gregg song!

Bernard: I sort of enjoyed Time Trumpet.

With Time Trumpet i remember the news was on straight after
and you had trouble realising it wasn't meant to be funny.

I actually couldn't find a working torrent of season 2, so I
guess it's for the best.

I love Stephen Fry, but would you believe I've never seen
these old Fry and Laurie bits? Have they done any films or
just comedy routines?

Thanks a lot, everyone, for the input. It's much
appreciated!

well.

Sketch show.

JD: hahaha! Gotta love the Fast Show. It hasn't aged that
baddly. I need to see Monkey Trousers. I've only seen the
Fumly sketches. (which were deleted it seems)

Ah, I see. I fully intend to investigate that series but my
bandwidth is just about maxed out now so I'll have to wait a
bit before downloading it. Thanks, Atty. x

Haha! Dave Angel was/is Awesome! I saw him doing stand up
ages ago and it was great. I also saw The Fast Show live at
the Hammersmith Apollo with Shooting Stars as the support!

Aah man i'd love to have seen them live.

No i haven't paid my last bill so they cut all the good
channels i have, which includes the only english channels i
get (BBC1 and 2, itv 1, 2 and 3).

I tried finding a good torrent but failed or gave up.
Johnny Depp apparently rates Whitehouse as the best actor in
the world.

Higson over Henfield anyday so i really look forward to
Bellamy's people.
