Noel is a stand up too!

Oh I forgot about him >_<.
The Office and Extras.Ricky Gervais.
'Spaced' Simon Pegg was a stand up for a bit.
Didn't Jessica do a bit of stand up too?

I think she's tried it a little bit more recently, not sure if she did it back then.
Maybe I'm just thinking of her striking 'rabbit rabbit' stage performance in Spaced...

Aye, but not The Black Adder, Only II onwards
Lab Rats - Chris Addison 
Alan Partridge obviosuly stemmed from the stand up act

But only a stand up after the sitcom success, not the other way round as per the others!

Rowan Atkinson was a live performer, if not a traditional speech routine stand-up... Don't know if that counts.

Actually Alan Partridge was created by Richard Herring and Stewart Lee for the radio series. On The Hour, was it?

And The Young Ones, written by Elton, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (and Lise Mayer, who wasn't a stand-up).
Ideal. Written by a stand-up, and staring mostly stand-ups.

Graham Duff? Has he ever been a stand-up? Or do you think Johnny Vegas wrote it?
Hebburn - Jason Cook.
He's not a stand-up, is he? Just a writer and performer I think...?
I think he has done a bit of stand up though because he released his stand up on DVD.
Ah, has he? I wasn't aware of that. Fair enough then!
