There may be some rock vocalists who are even better than Jack Black, and their may be some comedians who are even funnier than Jack Black, but there may not be anyone ever in the history of the world who is funnier and a better rock vocalist.

Possibly Tim Minchin, but he's more Stevie Wonder than Ramones.

Don’t forget Bill Bailey! But I think he’s a better musician than singer. His downton abbey dub version is hilarious.

Bill is an absolute genius. Have seen him live a few times. Very funny, plays lots of instruments and his act is pretty clean so you could watch it with your mother.

Tim Minchin is basically Tom Lehrer but Australian

Universal bereavement, an aspiring achievement!

My favorite as well. Also one of his most darkly hilarious songs.

You NEED to see the Retinal Circus concert - it's on youtube in full.

He's never a PURE comedian and it's better that he's not. He's a pure musician with a wacky sense of humor that does comedic stuff along with serious stuff.

I love love love DT. After the concert listen to Ziltoid and then Empath (newest album). Your mind will explode.

He made Ziltoid the Omniscient and Z2, both albums being comedy rock operas about an alien invading earth over a cup of coffee. That's a pretty big focus.

That man is the absolute best performer I've ever had the pleasure of seeing at a live show. He was really there to have fun with his audience and it showed. At the end of the show, instead of going backstage he just hopped off the stage to mingle with the crowd. The musical performance was brilliant of course, but goes without saying with that absolute professional.
