Stand-Up Comedy

Welcome to this new page, which is gonna be dedicated solely to the genius that is the stand-up comedian!! I'll be posting comedians old and new and requests are most welcome, want to see your favourite included? just ask!! First up is a Glaswegian comic, who is a favourite of mine. Enjoy!!

FRANKIE BOYLE - If I Could Reach Out Of The Tv And Strangle You, I Would!!
Famous for his straight-talking, no-holds-barred stand-up, critically acclaimed comedian Frankie Boyle brings us his highly anticipated second live DVD. Recorded at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, during his sell-out 2010 tour, Frankie comes armed with an impressive arsenal of punchlines and putdowns which are too controversial for TV.

Next up, another Glaswegian here, its the one and only Billy Connolly!!

Billy Connolly - Live In London!!
Billy Connolly, the King of Comedy, returns in his first brand new stand up DVD for three years. From raging about Britain’s political elite to reporting about the oddities of America, Live in London 2010 takes the audience on a hilarious series of anecdotes, digressions and yarns. Filmed this year during 20 sell-out nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, this is the show that caused a ticket website to crash from the demand when it first went on sale.

Michael MacDonald - Model Citizen!!



Michael McDonald (MADtv, Austin Powers, Kathy Griffin – My Life on the D-List) returns home to Orange County for his debut stand-up comedy special: MODEL. CITIZEN. In this hilarious, one-hour performance, Michael shares his views on a variety of topics from fame to family and gives the audience a peek at the seemingly normal person behind the whacked out personae he has developed for television (including his famous role as Stuart the baby). Part stand-up comedy, part one man show, this special is for anyone who – like Michael – finds humor in the strange world all around us

Jim Jeffries - Alcoholocaust!!

Jim’s latest outing is Alcoholocaust – a name embraced by the comedian drinking on stage, briefly mentioning the Holocaust and discussing the trouble his show title has created. Controversy covers the show with Jeffries’ blunt opinions on everything from women to God, but fortunately there are incisive and thoughtful insights which separate the man from a ranting drunk. This is part of an increasingly fashionable genre of comedy which goes out of its way to stick it to the politically “correct”. Jeffries’ particular approach takes in jokes, opinions, wit, anecdotes and, well, drink.

Louis C.K. - Hilarious!!


Comedian Louis C.K. gleefully transcends the boundaries of good taste in a stand-up comedy special in which no topic is sacred – including his own children. Whether ranting about impatience in contemporary society, his ballooning physique, or the trials of fatherhood, C.K. has a curious talent for keeping an audience in stitches even – or especially – as they’re recoiling in abject horror. He may be twisted, but there’s truly no denying he’s one of the most transgressive, talented comics to come down the pike since the glory days of Bill Hicks, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor.

Ricky Gervais Live - Science

oratory, this show brings together thought-provoking rants and tongue-in-cheek political incorrectness about subjects as diverse as religion, racism and obesity
