Or any sort of comedy fans.
Its been a while since i've made a UKTV thread but if there are any fans like myself of stand up and so on, there's a brilliant show on tonight:
The Comedians' Comedian
9:00pm - 12:05am
Channel 4
Jimmy Carr presents a countdown of the top 50 US and UK comedians of all time as voted by over 300 comic writers, producers and performers. Among those making a contribution to the programme are Mike Myers, Jackie Mason, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, Joan Rivers, Barry Cryer and David Baddiel.
Just thought i'd give you guys a heads up.

Its a repeat. Glad to see Christopher Morris getting the recognition he deserves.
Jimmy Carr himself is very funny too.

I know he's just a presenter for the program but jimmy carr does actually piss me off a lot. Shame he's from my home town....
When i was on the phone my housemate said Mike Myers mentioned a pub at my hometown (Cambridge). Said it was one of the reasons why he came to perform over here at the UK and start his career. I should go there when im back home for christmas
