Yes, I quite like Rodney Dangerfield - his humour comes so natural


I'd also like to add a person to the list who isn't exactly a comedian but I think if he ever did get into TV work would be an instant hit........ Amazing G - I think he's fuckin brilliant!

Ronnie Barker is i would say the greatest comedy actor BRitain has produced

Pure genius. I used to love when he did his pispronunciation - brilliant

i'm not used to public squeeking, i piss pronounciate most of my worms..

HAHAHA!! Brilliant stuff

I absolutely love Flight of the Conchords. They're from New Zealand.

It's kinda dry humor but I still love it. XD
Will Ferrell and Steve Carell too. Basically anyone that has done work with Judd Apatow as well.



hahah and I still like Catherine Tate! >.<

Judd Apatow is doing a Simpsons

epic isnt the word

Doug Stanhope. You can find him on itunes. American.

Bill Hicks too, also love Lee Evans, and Richard Pryor. Lenny Henry 20 years ago too.
