h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am slightly surprised no-one has mentioned these two before, but given the depth of comic genius out there, perhaps they just escaped notice for awhile. Anyway, I shall put that right now...

Every now & then a comic genius comes along & captures the comedy stage unlike ever before, but to have two is a real treat. Two modernday funnymen from the Lancastrian funnybone of the United Kingdom who never fail to get me ROFL &, trust me, I am usually quite a stoic person in getting me to laugh. One is Johnny Vegas, rarely seen without a can of lager in hand & a passionate supporter of his own Saint Helens Rugby League Club, & more recently Bolton's most famous son, Peter Kay who has penned the undeniably hilarious "Phoenix Nights" & one who has had such a successful sell-out UK tour honestly named "Mum Wants a Bungalow" that he had to increase the number of dates for as it proved so popular. Now I know what y'all thinking - cheese...and cake..together?!!!? Garlic...& Bread?!!!? but if I recall correctly, both were first noticed @ the Edinburgh fringe festival as stand-up comedians who went on to succeed in television [Dichayaknow? Peter Kay even appeared as a shop fitter in Coronation Street back in, I think it was, 1997 & is the star of the John Smith's lager commercials too - 2 more lambooners (sp.?) 'ere! ]. Both constantly come up with new material & keep the momentum of their acts going with brilliant incisive comment & double entendres about stuff we all know to be true. The great thing about them is it usually appears so spontaneous & fresh all the time with the other ingredient so essential in comedy, timing. Plus, working in stand-up comedy is never easy as it can be so merciless if the audience doesn't respond well except that wasn't a problem for them. Like Eric & Ern before them, they started in possibly the hardest place for comedy: stand-up, but successfully came through.
Who said comedy was dead?!!

It's spitting!

Peter Kay

What a guy.
Sound chap and his mate Paddy McGuinness smells nice too.

Phoenix Nights is a classic comedy and PK is an extremely talented young man.

Did you see Johnny Vegas when he did room 101?
I actually ended up doubled up on the floor wiith stomach cramp from laughing when he talked about the chatroom he used to visit.
