Jackass, I'm hijacking your thread. Deal wit it.

I am a big fan of Gervaise, he is massive here, he has a couple of stand up comedy dvd's out 'Animals' and 'Politics', both are very funny.
I'll have to check those out. I wouldn't think he'd be able to pull off standup too well, if only because I think he's at his funniest when he's playing off of other people. But, maybe that's just me.

I haven't seen 'Hot Fuzz' yet but I don't think you can go wrong with those guys, just look at 'Shawn of the dead'.
...or Spaced. Yeah, I think that crew will be good no matter what they do.
