"Stand-up comedians"

Just a quick thread for the weekend.

Who are your favourite stand-up comics and more importantly, who do you really hate? They can be British, American, etc.

Also do you pick up any of their DVDs or have you been to any of their shows or would like to eventually?

List of stand-up comedians

Like :

Dara O'Briain (best stand up I've seen)
Lee Mack
Jimmy Carr (a lot funnier live than he is on TV,feeds off hecklers)
Frank Skinner (met the guy after a show,its not a act he's exactly the same as he is on TV.He's a genuinely nice,approachable and very funny chap )
Sean Lock
Frankie Boyle
Omid Djalili
Stephen K Amos
Dylan Moran

Don't like :

Michael Mcintyre (just want to punch his stupid grinning cheshire cat face in and I'm a not a violent person !)
Russell Brand (what a tool,can't stand him)
Jack Whitehall (bout as funny as cancer)
Andy Parsons
Derek Acorah
