Hi All, I've been away from 'home' for years (so, I do not know whose around now) but I used to love Duncan Norville (Chase Me..) and Cannon & Ball. I was in two minds whether to admit that these had me creased up everytime, as no one else seems to have mentioned them...?!?! Happy Chuckling Folks...!!! Hugs, Dawn. |

I have to say, after seeing him perform live. Ken Dodd is the greatest of all time. He is so funny and has such charm about him! |

Too many to list really, but anyone whose humour is slightly off-the-wall, both in observation and view-point, without being vicious (as many modern "comics" can be) or over-use of bad language (Jim Davidson is a good example there - a good comic, who seems to feel that he has to resort to gratuitous swearing to gets his laughs). Chaplin, Harry Lloyd, the Marx Brothers, Norman Wisdom, Frankie Howard, Les D, M&W, 2 Ronnies, Eddie Izzard (who has also played Chaplin!), Lee Evans... Just a few names that spring to mind. Like I said, a long list. Rob |

I think Billy Connolly seems to be the most popular so far and he's a great actor into the bargain |

Hi Eileen, Billy Connolly - without a doubt!! I've only got to think about some of his stuff I've seen, and I crack up! An Audience With Billy Connolly springs straight to the fore - classic stuff! (especially the bit about the Sunday newspaper adds) Debbie |

Mine is Lilly Savage (Paul O'Grady). Whenever I watch him he makes me scream with laughter. Angie. |

Billy Connolly is my favourite, followed by Jack Dee, Paul Merton, Ian Hislop (not really a comedian but he should be), Lily Savage and Johnny Vegas. All very funny for different reasons. I also like most of Lenny Henry's stuff - especially Theopholos T Wildebeast or whatever he is called. Has me in stitches. Lindsey |

Lee Evans is my favourite at the moment. Also quite like Jack Dee - such a dry wit. |

I looked on this site and no-one mentions Laurel & Hardy, the greatest double comedy acts of all time. I like Lee evens, espeically when he did bohemian rhapsody, and also the big yin- billy connelly. andy c. |

yep have to agree with most Peter Kay is definatly up there maybe i get most of the jokes being up north.(my nanna used to say put big light on) Billy Connely,Jasper Carrot, Lily Savage even Chubby Brown is up there after seeing him live (I was so embarrased as we were sat right at the front luckily he didnt say anything!) He has that tounge in cheek humour we know your not supposed to laugh at ,but just can't help it! Yet I loath Bernard Manning yuck! Jan x |

Billy Connolly has me crying, used to love Ben Elton in the Thatcher years. Can't bear Lee Evans or Harry Hill. Saw an old 2 Ronnies on UK Gold tonight and we were all chuckling away! Maz. XX |

Hi, I'm with you, Becca. Eddie Izzard is the greatest. I also love Paul Merton, Billy Connelly, Ben Elton and Peter Kaye. I hate sexist humour - "take my wife stuff" just isn't funny. Observational comedy is what rocks my boat. Gwynne |
