FabSwingers.com forum: Heroes of Comedy!

The thick of it!

I love a good comedy and a great comedian I have many heroes of comedy but my ultimate I think has to be Sasha Baron Cohen a true master at work I think he really pushes the boundaries of comedy into uncharted territory! he has left me literally open mouth and aghast more than once, with his characters and antics! But what I find most interesting about him is the way he exposes or has a serious point behind each character that you Portrays and it’s not just mindless comedy, pure genius...

who is your hero of comedy?!

I have many.

I love old school, like Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. Micky Flanagan will always be a favorite, Jimeon still cracks me up, Nick Swardson and Jim Gaffigan. Mitch Hedburg is my go to always still. Not ashamed to say it but Louis C.K. was brilliant as well as Roseanne Barr back in the day, Pete Holmes is on my watch list right now, and of course the infallible Carol Burnett.

BRIDPORT

I think Ronnie Barker was a great comedy character actor. Richard Pryor was just fantastically funny as a stand up and as an actor.

There are many more, but those are my two nominations.

Lucky for Ricky the 3,000,000 people who bought tickets for his world wide tour, making it the fastest selling tour ever, don't think that. Or the 7 billion viewings of After Life. Or the 300,000,000 views he's had....this could go on...

Not on my TV he couldn't go on. Stats can be made to represent any argument you want. It's subjective and I personally can't stand the prick. I'd literally rather watch paint dry than have to sit thru anything to do with him.

Ok you can't stand Ricky. How do you feel about the awareness he raises about animal cruelty and other issues that sometimes struggle to get a voice. The millions he donates personally to worthwhile causes.

I hear you on stats...but I'd hardly think he'd over exaggerate ticket sales.

Have a look at his twitter and I bet you'll only think he's half the prick you thought he was
