In my opinion one of the funniest people ever, I know there are mainly americans here so I dont expect many of you will know him

But if you ever get the chance watch some of his stuff

Phoenix Nights

That Peter Kay thing

and all of his Stand Ups  
This man is a genius

Put on the big light so I can read this…

He has also gone up in my estimation by not appearing as a celebrity Bolton fan in any of the coverage I’ve seen of today’s cup final -  
HIJACK - he’s no 1 in the uk - edging out ricky gervaise imo; but ‘Shameless’ was the best thing on british tv in years, better than pheonix nights or the office. imho

Personally, I find his stand-ups hilarious. I never particulally like Phoenix Nights though.
