Personally I’m not a big fan of stand-up, so I can’t comment on that. (Aside from stating that Jasper Carrott and Jim Davidson are notoriously unfunny.) But there are a cadre of British comedians that I find hilarious:
Eddie Izzard
Ade Edmondson
Paul Whitehouse
Harry Enfield
Simon Day
Ricky Gervais
Sascha
