Yes Dickie Henderson, there's a name from the past and I imagine he was very good live Sharron. Very slick. So sad he died quite young i believe. I remember he used to play a drunk and slide off the stool, he was quite unique really.

I remember the first time I saw Billy Conolly on the telly, it was about the time I met my husband so (1974.) he was on Parkinson, he was like a breath of fresh air! My mum was from glasgow, so maybe I have that kind of sense of humour. Rab C. Nesbitt, I love that show.

lol no pam i went with hubby to see him so was ok
he was shoppin in our local marks n sparks few weeks ago

i luv kevin wilson to

I think I've seen Kevin Wilson, he's on Al murray's show too isn't he? He pushes the boundaries to say the least, but yes I think he's good if it's the fella I'm thinking of. Roy Chubby Brown didn't start off as a blue comic did he...think it was out of frustration and desperation! He's a nice bloke in real life like many comics.

Just googled Kevin Wilson, and no it's not the comic i'm thinking of...oops!

Billy Connolly -

absolutely love to hear him talk when he does his tours of Oz or Scotland etc, being just himself and finding out about the places he's visiting. Very very clever, and funny, & engaging. But the bits from his stand-up show I really don't find even remotely amusing.

Comedy, it's a funny old game.

Yes he does have a habit of laughing at his own jokes, and as I said it was 1974 and we'd not seen him before. He apparantly said a very stupid remark about that poor man Ken Biggley the hostage on stage, and many people walked out, quite rightly so.

I love Catherine Tate. I just have to look at her face, or faces should I say, and I'm in stitches. Didn't realise that our Kevin B Wilson was popular in the UK - we love him here.

Sue

Yes I like 'Nan'.

What a f***ing liberty!

She is so popular in our house that we quote Catherine Tate in normal conversation. People who don't watch her look very confused at times:))

Sue

I love Victoria Wood. I liked Mike Harding too, but I've not heard anything of him for years now.

Dianne xx

Also love Rab C Nesbitt, Still Game, French and Saunders and Victoria Wood.

Sue

I don't find 'Dinner Ladies' that funny, but Julie Walters character as the scruffy old mum makes me laugh...she walks about with that dirty old blanket around her- and lets the odd one go!! Julie Walters is also great as Mrs Overall, and the waitress 'Two Soups'...oh that grin!!! l LOL

A lot of the present day comics I don't find very funny. I do like Victoria Wood, her timing is immaculate. I used to like Dave Alan. yes I liked Morecombe and Wise as well. I like some situation comedy. Liked some episodes of Only fools, and the same with the vicar of Dibley. I think sometimes it depends on your own mood at the time.

Hi all,

Loved Ronnie Barker - I thought his delivery was fantastic - Dave Allan, Tommy Cooper and Benny Hill as well.

I always found Morecombe and Wise about as funny as toothache though.

My favourites at the moment have to be Catherine Tate, Michael McIntyre and Lee Evans - I saw him about 6 years ago and I laughed so much I come away in pain.

Ed

I just lurve Peter Kay....that sarky grin.....down to earth....Also like Billy Connolly warts and all:-))))) can't stand the Brown fellah....over the top methinks.

MINE WOULD HAVE TO BE MAT HORNE & JAMES CORDEN FROM GAVIN & STACEY


TWO UP AND COMING YOUNG GUYS WHO ARE SO VERY TALENTED

Has no-one mentioned French and Saunders? I find them hilarious - Dawn French has me crying with laughter.

Sue

I do find peter kay funny but my favourite is Lee Evans saw him live a few years ago and was crying with laughter all the way through.

My dads nickname is Ness after rab c he's not that bad really though just a family joke.

ken dodd

Dave Allen has to be my favourite,i used to sit with my Dad and watch him,we would both be in fits whilst my Mum would sit there and not find him funny at all,which would make me and my Dad laugh even more,
