Welsh Comedians.... are there any?

[Bbbananas]

Max Boyce was never funny & Rob Brydon I would describe more of a comedy actor. So who? (apart from my BF - but he doesn't intend to be funny so that doesn't count).

[Jan1957]

Watched Rhod Gilbert on tv the other night. He was funny.

[Pigletion]

Mark Watson or Rhod Gilbert? Both do stand-up, tv stuff (and adverts!), but not sure how funny they actually are

[Bbbananas]

Didn't know Paul Whitehouse was Welsh.

Ok - I will include him at the top of the list. I like him.

[ummmm]

I thought he was funny.

Gryff Rhys Jones. Females;- Dawn French and Ruth Madoc have both done stand up comedy or are we only looking for the boyos?

[zzxxee]

Welsh Comedian....NEIL KINNOCK

[moonshadow]

Agree with you there Sqad. Do you remember the photo call by the seaside when the sea came in right over his shoes and he fell flat on his face? it went down hill from there on.

[Sqad]

moonshadow....I do very well and now him and Glenys are in the House of Lords that they thought was class ridden a few years ago.

What a joke eh?

[modeller]

Nowadays are there any comedians of any sort.? Most substitute shouting and crudeness for humour. Even those who start off with clever jokes rapidly run out of steam and resort to crudeness and swearing to get a laugh.

[Bbbananas]

Peter Kay ?

Not welsh I know - but he doesn't resort to crudeness, swearing or hysteria.
