[Aaron Rushton]

bill bailey, dylan moran, tim minchin (for his sheer musical talent), michael mcintyre and in acting, rowan atkinson.
ATB
Aaron.

[Bambii]

Michael Mcintyre, Frankie Boyle and Kevin Bridges.

I think those are my favourites I can't think of any others off the top of my head lol.

[CanadianMike]

Billy Connolly and Crsig Ferguson, love their quick wits and odd way of looking at the world around them.

[fish]

billy Connelly!

timeless humour,been tops since he first told THAT joke on parkinson!

[ANDYRAF]

I think my favourites are Rhod Gilbert, Lee Evans, Lee Mack, Al Murray and Dara O'Briain. Not always in that order.

Andy

[Matt]

Dara O'Briain doing stand up takes some beating, and for my acting choice its Monty Python hands down. I'd of posted before but didn't know how to spell O'Briain, thanks Andy ;)

Matt.

[Shewie]

Billy Connolly, Peter Kaye, Lee Evans, Chubby Brown & Jethro :)

[Martin]

Sorry to say, I had my sense of humour surgically removed when I entered management. However, if I remember rightly, I used to really like Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, especially as Derek & Clive. It also goes without saying that Monty Python was a comedy classic.

Martin

[Fletching]

Tim Minchin's my current fave.

Brilliant video LOL

[Ashley Cawley]

Enjoy a bit of Lee Evans sometimes :)

[Celt_Ginger]

All time favourites would be Laurel & Hardy. I loved the old time stand ups as well though. Frank Carson, Les Dawson, Stan (I can't remember his last name) from Liverpool who hated the "Geeeermans" plus all the others. Then there was Morcome and Wise and the 2 Ronnies. What about Freddie Starr and Dick Emmery, or Benny Hill and Tony Hancock. Good lord, the list could be endless...................................Monty Python etc etc etc etc

[Matt]

Hey Gary, I think it was Stan Boardman, and thanks for reminding me to mention Harold Lloyd;)

Matt.

[Martin]

Laurel and Hardy were brilliant; pure genius!!!

Martin

[antithetic]

My list is endless,
Tim Minchin, Billy Connolly, Steve Hughes, Michael Mcintyre, Frankie Boyle, Kevin Bridges, Jason Byrne, Rhod Gilbert, Dara O'Briain, Russel Howard, Sarah Millican.

My list goes on but that'll do.

[Celt_Ginger]

Hey Gary, I think it was Stan Boardman, and thanks for reminding me to mention Harold Lloyd;)

Matt.

That's Him. Stan Boardman.

[comanighttrain]

Billy Connolly, Frankie Boyle, Marcus Brigstocke, George Carlin...

[comanighttrain]

that's one of my favourites from him at the moment, have you heard 'Storm'?

[Fletching]

Just watched it again. brilliant!

[wisemen]

Jimmy Carr is probably my favourite at the moment. Saw him live last year and my sides hurt when the time came to leave

[Ben Casey]

Morecombe and Wise and Tommy Cooper just like that LOL

[Ken]

Russell Brand. The man is a genius.

[Martin]

Russell Brand. The man is a genius.

You're being ironic, right? ;)

Martin

[Ben Casey]

Martin

Here Here the guy needs shooting :)

[Fletching]

Russell Brand. The man is a genius.

Russell Brand's not a comedian. He's an anaemic stick insect on speed. :)

[Martin]

Oops, what have I done? Of course, I respect Ken's right to find him funny. Not my fault he's wrong is it? :p

Martin

[ElementOwl]

Went to see Phil Cool a couple of years back, spent a couple of hours roaring with laughter. We met him in the foyer afterwards and really didn't warm to him at all. Strange to see two completely different sides to someone in one night.

The Billy Connelly "Stonefish" routine on YouTube floors me every time I watch it.

[Ben Casey]

Part of life is a bit of leg pulling I think John Cleese is good esp in Fawlty Towers :)

[Ken]

Russell Brand is not a stick insect on speed, he's been clean for years. Obviously his intelligent observations are a little too much for some... :)

[Martin]

I've just realised. He comes from round your way doesn't he Ken? You're not related in any way are you?

Martin

[Ken]

LOL Martin... Essex is next to Suffolk, like Devon is next to Cornwall!

[Martin]

lol martin... Essex is next to suffolk, like devon is next to cornwall!

:D :D :D

Martin

[Rasputin]

I'me draggin this one out of the archives, Eric & Ernie, The big yin, Les Dawson, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse ( you had to see him live to see his real genius ) Frankie Boyle

[Fraser]

I must agree with the comments about Tim Minchin..... very talented guy.
Les Dawson
Laurel & Hardy
Bill Hicks (clever clever man).

[happybonzo]

Jim Jeffries - Australian bloke. You can YouTube him for yourselves as I'm not posting any of his links and getting banned :)

[Silverback]

I'me draggin this one out of the archives, Eric & Ernie, The big yin, Les Dawson, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse ( you had to see him live to see his real genius ) Frankie Boyle

Seconded

[ADz]

George Carlin!

And +1 for Frankie Boyle

[shepherd]

vic reeves and bob mortimer.. billy connelly, frankie boyle, and Reginald D Hunter

[Kernowek Scouser]

I don't have a top five, but as more than five comedians who have made me chuckle have already been mentioned, I'll throw in these five comedians, comedy actors/writers into the mix: Spike Milligan, Richard Pryor, Miranda Hart, Robin Williams & Richard Ayoade.

[OakAshandThorn]

Definitely Robin Williams, also Bill Cosby, Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Stiles.
