Over the past 2 years I have at this stage seen most of the Irish comedians, some fantastic and many crap. One man's comedy is another mans depression. So lets see who you believe is the best comic in Ireland, and they dont have to be the big names, they can be the next to be tops so get cracking
Gotta be David O'Doherty.
Des Bishop and TT are not far behind but are a bit loud for my ears. Doherty is subtle, quirky and picks up on little things. I love his songs.
I thought the likes of Andrew Maxwell , Colin Murphy, Deidre O Keane, Brendan O Carroll, Darradh O Brien, Pat Shortt would have made this list but it seems no, the next question would be why, all have proven to be funny and successful ??.
