So I'll start the ball rolling, there's different types of comedy, I remember the likes of Dave Allen, Dick emery , Benny Hill , Frank Spencer, and of course John Cleese and Co, then we had also the Goodies, as I've got older only certain ones make me laugh, Lee mack is quick and very witty, I suppose Peter Kay and Micheal Macntyre also included , some " comedy "shows are pretty average, I find Mrs brown boys toe curlingly painful, but also I enjoy Mick Miller, the noddy drunken alcoholic is absolutely hilarious , do throw a few more at me and see if I've forgotten some quality comedians 🤣

I saw an American comedian live who I had never heard of - Rich something. He was absolutely brilliant.
When he said Dylan had got a bit sloppy and he himself played the harmonica sloppily I actually screamed with laughter.
The other American i like was John pinette, doing the Chinese takeaway sketch, absolutely hilarious 😂

Loved Minnie Pearl. Howdee !!
I've been to the grand Ole Opry multiple times in Tennessee with my parents And grandparents as a kid. It's a favorite memory of mine from childhood. Minnie Pearl is a gem 💎
She certainly was.
Steve Martin, Dana carvey, John Belushi, Richard prior, John Candy, dan akroid, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman
Steptoe and son.
Ken Dodd, he could keep you going for hours🤗
Yes, my mum and dad went to see him, and they reckoned he told the taxi drivers outside he'd keep the audience in until the last train left!🤣
Buster Keaton, very underrated!👍
Another silent film fan! Yay!
I'd add Harold Lloyd as a sales clerk, cutting fabric for women on half-price day. I don't remember the name of the film unfortunately.
How about Kenny Everett? He was funny in his day.
Oh yes definitely!!! I remember a comedy series called Balls of Steel , boy that was funny 😁
Hilarious. At least to me, but I'm a sicko.
⚠️ If you're easily offended, don't watch the video. ⚠️
The writers know what a great comic talent Hugh Laurie has, and they write to it.
A forgetful old gasman named Dieter
Who went poking around his gas heater
Touched a leak with his light
He blew out of sight
And as everyone who knows anything about poetry can tell you, he also ruined the meter

Who is your favourite Comedian?A funny one 😆😆😆
I love lots some far out ones around today that people may not have heard of but also the oldies like Morecambe and Wise, Peter and Dudley, The Two Ronnies , The Goons, Joyce Grenfell, Hinge and Brackett, Victoria Wood, Julian Clary , Eddie Izzard , David Frost, The not the nine o'clock news Gang, Les Dawson's piano playing because he was such a good pianist but could pretend to play so badly.
Even guys like Will Haye, Harold Lloyd , WC Fields, The Crazy Gang, The Little Rascals
I suppose my favourite would be Tommy Cooper because I chatted with him often as a child because he was friends with my Dad , and I was at first a little scared then really liked Ken Dodd because he was a friend of my Grandparents and occasionally came over for Sunday tea, He was very clever and kind , he only scared me when I was very little because he had such huge hands( which made him very sad).
He gave me a cute little child's mug with Diddymen characters on and a little tickling stick , I've still got them.
George Carlin was one of my all-time favorite comedians. I also liked Eddie Murphy.
Eddy Murphy was hysterical on Saturday Night Live. I’m Jewish. And Murray’s impersonation of an old Jewish man on the show was spot on.
George Carlin was one of my All Time Favs. Saw him live in Reno with my Sig. Other! He opened the show with, "Pussy Farts," ops, can I write that! When he started on religion, a couple of the people in the rows in back of us started to walk out!!! Geez, they apparently didn't KNOW Geo. Carlin. He was one of the "biting" BEST! What a brilliant mind, and So much truth in his biting, and oh so funny words, and delivery!
Haha. George Carlin spoke his mind and that's what I loved about him. Yes his delivery was stellar...perfection. Im glad you enjoyed seeing him. I saw him in 1978 at the Hookers Ball in San Francisco. It was a very unique event i should say.
Yep, he was Perfection! Never went to the Hookers Ball in S.F. --had meant to, but never got there!!!
It was pretty wild and untamed. 😁
I'll bet --Great memories for you!
George Carlin was the best,,, I miss him
Me, too --Miss him!
No more CD's to listen to on the NY/FL trips. Made us laugh. Hard to replace.
Yes, too bad!
Laughter is good and I enjoy comedy whenever I can tune in to a good comedian.
Indeed, thanks for your reply 👍
Thanks for the question! I love the opportunity to think about comedians....some of my favorite people! I see you're in the UK, and I don't recognize many of the names people have shared. I'm a native Californian....here are some of my favorites: Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Martin Short, many of the SNL crew (not sure if you get SNL where you are)....Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Dana Carvey, Will Farrell, Mike Meyers, ....oh, there's so many! Someone else mentioned David Brenner....one of the best! This is one of his bits: When he rode the subway, he always put some newspaper down on the seat before sitting down because it was always so dirty, and one day the guy sitting across from him pointed to the newspaper he was sitting on and asked, "Are you reading that?" So he got up, turned the page, sat back down and said, "Yes." Ha!
I've heard and seen a few American comedian's on your list, but not all of them, abd yes the one's I've seen have been extremely funny 😄 thanks for your reply 👍
Nothing's funnier than SNL. Chris Rock is the funniest!
Yes! Love all those SNL people you mentioned. They make "the Best Of.... DVD's for all of them. I've almost worn them all out! Can't wait for their 50th Anniversary Special. So nice to see all their faces again. Their 40th was great, with all the celebrity fans.
Oh, and Jon Stewart!
George Carlin Richard Pryr and Dave Chappell
I'd add Dylan Moran, Danny Bhoy and the youngster, Larry Dean.I think Billy Connolly and Robin Williams are my top two.
Loved Danny Bhoy doing the bagpipe sketch 🤣
It's fab
How about Chris Rock? His DVD's make me laugh until I cry!
How about SCTV? So funny - many SNL start started there. I think it's out of Canada.
The only time I see other comedian's is on a television programme called live at the Appollo , they're usually from different countries as a guest on the show
