I don't watch much TV but that was excellent! I can't agree on the winner though. In his yoof perhaps, but he sold out a long time ago. -- Hog '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 >> Stay informed about: 100 Best Stand Up's

Ed Byrne is worth seeing too. Having said that there are some damn good acts missing from the list and some damn silly ones on it. >> Stay informed about: 100 Best Stand Up's

I've never enjoyed his TV shows (what little I've seen), and I don't think I've ever seen him do stand up. >Billy Connolly has never been funny. Well, this is perhaps the ultimate futile conversation, isn't it, seeing as how humour is so subjective. For the record, I saw Billy Connolly live nearly 20 years ago and it remains far and away the funniest experience I've ever had.

I struggled to breathe. 20 years ago he had me gasping for air too. Today? no comment.
