Stanhope? bloody rubbish!

[Thunderwolf666]

@pamlawrence1 I wouldn't class Stanhope in the same bracket as Carlin and Hicks. He's a good comedian, sure, but it's not really the same style.

Brilliant.

@pamlawrence1 hicks is american xD he was more famous in britain cuz the americans wern't comfortable with his material but he was born and raised in the south of the us i do prefere british comedians usualy but come on carlin's good hicks loved carlin n there're other good american comedians like david cross etc.

@pamlawrence1 way waaaaaaaay behind, and likely always will be

[pamlawrence1]

@james50000 carlin is so overated. Hicks, Newman, Stanhope end their observations with beautifully crafted lines, Carlin has much less in the way of writing talent, that's what we excel at. US comedy is way behind the UK. try Stewart Lee for starters.

"what's the difference between an empire and armed robbery?" hahahahahaha omg

Lenny Bruce is good too, but he doesn't have much in the way of youtube videos.

This guy is awesome! I have been searching the sea of banality that is the UK comedy scene for a Hicks/Carlin comedy style for a long long time. And I have struck gold!

How long has he been around?
