My top 5 favourite comedians

5.   Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan’s jokes are mostly based on his experiences with his family, his failed attempts at slimming down and overall his day to day life. He’s a very clean comic, meaning he doesn’t talk about vulgar things and doesn’t use curse words. Because of that he is a comic that you can watch with your family and it can be fun for everyone.

4.   Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart’s a very funny and relatable comedian that also jokes about his family and his every day-to-day problems, but unlike Jim Gaffigan, he uses a bit harsher languages and his shows are more oriented towards adults than children.

3.   John Mulaney

John Mulaney is a comic that can be enjoyed by everyone. His jokes are based on his everyday life which mostly isn’t that different from others, but the way that his jokes are told makes everyone crack up. He’s also a pretty clean comic, but you may catch him swearing here and there.

2.   Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais is a brilliant comic that can make fun of everyone and everything. Some people may already know him from the British television series “The Office” but he has done so much more than just that. If you haven’t already, check out his movies and television shows like “After Life” and “The Invention of Lying”.

1.   George Carlin

George Carlin is definitely on of the best comedians that have ever lived and a lot of people, including me, would say that he was the best. He joked about whatever he wanted and didn’t care if it was considered inappropriate at that time. Because of his huge success he was pronounced as “The dean of counterculture comedians”.
