Favourite Comedian

[CarolG]

Following on from PJM's question regarding favourite comedy tv shows in Film & TV, who is your favoirite comedian?

[BondGirl]

Jasper Carrot used to be good, but is a bit dated now.  I liked the way he never really told jokes, but commented on life etc.

Peter Kaye is a good one too - doesn't really tell jokes either, and both are fairly clean.

Ed Byrne also, but haven't seen him on anything for ages - he used to be on the Comedy Show or was it Comedy Club...or Comedy Store??  Senior citizen moment there - but hey, concentration lacks in the afternoon - proven fact!

either Lee Evans or Jack Dee

Bill Bailey and Harry Hill. I've seen both of them live and came out with a sore face due to too much laughing.

Peter Kay, Tommy Cooper.

I would say Harry Hill, also the late Tommy Cooper.

Peter Cook -  if you get the chance, or if they repeat it, watch his appearance as four different fictional characters on a 1993 episode of Clive Anderson's Channel 4 chat show. He had a real problem with the drink in later life, but this was his swansong - he was sharp, on the ball etc. He died in January 1995, aged 57- what a waste!

[Desdemona]

Chuckle Brothers, Davro, Russ Abbott, Mike McShane, Tony Slattery.
