who are your favourite British comedians?

some of mine are..

– the Goodies/Willie Rushton/I’m sorry I haven’t a clue team (pretty much the same lot)
– Spike Milligan
– Tommy Cooper
– the two Ronnies
– Morecambe and Wise
– Lenny Henry (in the 80s before he got too pretentious, delbert wilkins was top stuff, and the ooookayy bloke whose name I cannot remember)
– Rik Mayall
– Reeves and Mortimer
– Phil Cornwell (Gilbert the Alien, Stella Street)
– Paul Merton

I have a liking of both “alternative” (i.e intellectual/surreal) and visual comedy combined, even with elements of “end of the pier” type humour (probably due to the era I grew up in)….

Thats all I can think of for the moment (at least only half of them are dead/OAPs)

Maybe I have a sick humor..

But I love the guys from “the young ones”

Nigel Planer,Adrian Edmondson,Rik Mayall (and yes I had to look their names up):groucho:

Patricia Rutledge and Clive Swift – Keeping up appearance

Rowan Atkinson – Lovely Mr Bean :weee:

And a series I saw when I was young..Can’t remember what the name of the series or who played..But I think Adam Ant played the song to the series called “stand and deliver”..Or maybe it was just a dream:weee:

And A few more But I can’t remember their names

We seem to have a pretty similar sense of humour, although I would have added peter cook and the pythons.
