Like I've said I think I've got a pretty good sense of humour and Ilike most comics and I'm not easily offended, but I don't find him funny at all....I'm waiting for the flack from all Peter Kay fans!! I really liked the song by Tony Christie when it came out and the video is amusing when Ronnie Corbett falls over, but I saw Peter Kay on the Royal Variety Performance and thought it's not funny......so who makes you laugh?

Yes, I tend to agree.

We watched Phoenix Nights when it first came out and it was ok...ish..! but after that he just got boring. Same old gags.

I just don't think he's in the same league as say Steve Coogen, Lee Evans to name but a couple. Steve Coogan as Paul and Pauline Calf is brilliantly funny...in my opinion...........

I know he wasn't very PC, but Bernard Manning always made me laugh!!!

Oh sorry Pam but I don't find the ones you like funny at all!

To Each, His own, Pam,
depends what mood I am in whether I find someone boring or interesting......
personally I found the ARMY- rillo Video more interesting, but the program on how the PETER KAY Version came about. I watched from beginning to end..

Ooh Pam,

I really like Peter Kay, especially his stand up. But Bernard Manning leaves me cold - totally unfunny, in my opinion.

don't you think comedy is one of those things, like music, that we can all have our own likes & dislikes.

Anyway, I won't be turning nasty cos you're my mate, lol

Lots of love from

Maria xxxx

Edit - Paul & Pauline Calfe do make me laugh too

Tommy Cooper didn't make me laugh at all,neither does Norman Wisdom and Morecambe and Wise didn't do a lot for me either.

Wouldn't get much done if we all had the same sense of humour would we?

Hi Maria, nice to see your name up here! Yes you're so right this is a thread where we can all have a say in who we thinks funny and not so funny. Steve Coogen is good though isn't he!

Sharron, i'm with you about tommy cooper, I've seen people cry with laughter over him, and that was before he opened his mouth! but no, I didn't find him that funny.

Watched an Irish comic on Stand Up on sky the other night, Ed Bryn...he was brilliant, I was crying with laughter. I'd seen him on the the panel in comedy kind of quize shows before, but didn't realise how funny he was. ☺

Oh Straykitten!! He's very rude!! Some of the stuff he comes out with is so funny, but you couldn't watch him with someone you didn't know well could you!! lol!

Who can not love Morecambe & Wise?

Come on Sharron, don't have me falling out with you before we've even met :O)

PS - Pam - just asked OH - his fave comic, after careful consideration of many, is Steve Coogan. Can't think who mine is - it's hard to pick just one.

Hi Maria, I can't not like Eric and Ernie either, those shorts and garters of Eric's, very funny! Yes I know what you mean though, it's difficult to choose a favourite. You can pick a few if you like...I'm not very strict am I!?

My hubby says his favourites are, Benny Hill, think it's a lot to do with Hills Angels though!!

How about Kevi Bl**dy Wilson then? I have seen him three times,there's a confession eh?

Dickie Henderson was rubbish on the television but I saw him live once.His timing was extraordinary.I truly slid off my seat laughing and he only said a silly little nursery rhyme thing.

Hey diddle,diddle,the cat had a tiddle,
All over the bathroom floor.
The little dog laughed to see such fun.
So the cat had a tiddle some more.

That brought the house down!

I think that Peter Kay, as a stand up comic, is in a league of his own!

As I haven't saw the 'Amarillo' programme yet,I cannot comment on it's content.

Other comedians that I like are Ed Byrne( Pam mentioned him), and our own , Mr Billy Connolly.
