Okay so I'm a big fan of stand up comedy and as such I'm slightly running out of stand up comedians to watch
I wondered if anyone had any suggestions? My favourite comedians are people like Russell Howard, Peter Kay, Dara O'Brien so anyone with a similar sort of style would be great.

I agree with the comedy club idea...ive been before and its usually a good laugh as there's so many good comedians around who dont get the media attention. Comedians I like are Tim Minchin, Simon Amstell, Andi Osho, Sarah Millican, Daniel Sloss, Lee Mack and there's probably others that i cant think of
I have been to a comedy club in Manchester and I do agree about the atmosphere, however I'm more meaning when I'm bored at home and want something to watch.

^ Yep, I agree. I can definitely reccommend Ed Byrne's first dvd. I've not seen A Different Class, but the live show was great so I assume that's good too.
You'll probably like Rich Hall if you like dry wit. Again, Dylan Moran's great for dry wit

Ed Byrne. I love him so much.
Rhod Gilbert.
Victoria Wood. (Oldie, but never fails)
Jack Whitehall.
I can't think of any more right now >.<
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Justin Moorhouse - half way between Peter Kay and Jason Manford, very Northern and very funny.
Craig Campbell - absolutely hilarious Canadian comic, a bit crude but definitely not Frankie Boyle crude. Look out for the set where he starts off by saying 'how do you clear 100 Canadians out of a swimming pool???'...'Could you please get out of the pool!!!' - my husband is Canadian and finds this hilarious!
Tommy Teirnan. we hung out in a bar after his gig on stage one time. i never went to see any thing cus i get weak in crouds faintn, but with him i went to see him cus when i was at my worst and when things were falling round me when my world was crashing, he kept me laughn.. he's gas. i dont listen to anyone any more.
Laughter is a direct route to the soul. It broadens your perspective, keeps you healthy, and makes an unbearable situation alot easier to deal with.
