Learning English and accents with stand-up comedy

Hi guys,

I saw a topic about accents in English and as a huge stand-up comedy fan, I often hear a lot of different accents.

There is a lot of material available on Youtube and I thought that maybe we could share our gems? There are so many genres in comedy, feel free to submit your findings but please keep it to stand-up.

I'll start with Dylan Moran (UK), very cynical but delightful: http://youtu.be/HNAh9_BPBFk

and Brian Regan (US), his acts are so funny and they're always clean. http://youtu.be/rX87ipNTiIY

Any suggestions?

(I hope this is ok, no copyright infigment intended)

Pronounciation of either / neither Is the first syllable, [ei] / [nei], pronounced as in "[eye] for an [eye]" or as in "n[ee]dle"? Or none of the aboe?

Anyway or anyways? I've heard both and I'm not sure if it's a regional difference?

Meine erfahrung mit der Deutsche Sprache. Ich komme aus der Schweiz, aber meine Muttersprache ist Französisch. Ich habe seit langem Zeit nicht auf Deutsch geschrieben und soll deshalb ein bischen praktizieren. Ich war in Berlin für 6 Monate während die Fussball Weltmeisterschaft in 2006, und es war einfach geil! Ich war in eine Sprachschule, die heisst Prolog und ich habe in die "Goëthe-Institut von Berlin" meiner ZMP (C1) geschafft. Ich war sehr Stolz darauf, weil ich in der Schulse sehr schlecht auf Deutsch war. Leider, seitdem habe ich Deutsch nicht whirklich praktiziert. Ich verstehe noch gut aber die Ausprache ist schwer... Trotzdem möchte ich gerne neue Deutschsprachigen Freunde kennen zu lernen! Schreib mir, ob du darauf Lust hast :)

I'm looking for some American friends! Hello everybody! My name is Maxime and I'm from Switzerland. My mother tongue is French and I (try to) speak German and English. My first contact with English as a child was with video games and cartoons because they weren't translated. I now mostly learn from watching movies and tv in English all the time! I also learn through music, which is my passion (I'm a guitarist, one more). I'd like to one day work in the US, therefore I'd like to make some friends there, but if you live somewhere else, I'dd be glad to practice my English anyway =) I hope to hear from all of you soon, and don't forget I can help with French ;) ! Cheers, Max.
