Comedians of the 70's 80's/90's

[kass]

Who have you seen live and did they live up to expectations? Or who did you really want to see and never got the chance?
Seen;
Ben Elton & Rik Mayall (before Ben Elton sold out) - great night.

Vic and Bob (Big Night Out Tour) - night I realised that Bob was the funny one.

Mike Harding - don't know how I got dragged to this one.

Frank Skinner - didn't enjoy this one bit

Punt and Dennis (Milky Milky Tour) -

Harry Hill - Not always funny but glad I went

Wished I'd seen - Newman and Baddiel, Bill Hicks.

Ken Dodd-went on a bit...four and a half hours+++ That was late 90's
would like to see/or would have liked to see in the past Jasper Carrot and Lee Evans-Hope these could as they have both been around for many years.

Hubby dragged me to see Ken Dodd a couple of years ago. He was on for hours. I had to get up and leave when he got the Diddy Man ventriliquist doll out 'cos by that time I was suicidal.

Saw Lee Evans a couple of years ago - nearly peed myself he was sooo funny. More recently seen Bill Bailey, Sean Lock, Stewart Lee, Alan Carr, Rich Hall and Johnny Vegas (he was rubbish).

Oh and does anyone remember Graham Fellows who was Jilted John in the 70's? I saw him as John Shuttleworth recently, he was fantastic.

Why? Peter Kay only has one routine and he's been doing it for the last 6 years

He was on Radio 2 with some bloke sitting in for Stuart Maconie on Saturday it was quite interesting.
