I'm with u kathy, Bob Monkhouse was such a sparkling wit,he could tell a joke without all the swearing we have today, just a bit of good old fashioned smutty innuendo!!!!

I agree with james- Peter Kay is great. My fave is definitely Eddie Izzard though- and there's been no mention of him yet!

Freddy Starr was great when he started but I think he has lost his sparkle. Sorry, couldn't stand Bob Monkhouse.

Dead Ringers - better on the radio but still good on tv.

Am i gonna be the first to say Chubby Brown!! I know his language and the things he says are really quite disgusting but i think it's the way he says things and his accent that has me in stiches!!! Also the way he dances. lol Tracey

I like a lot of the modern ones, Harry Enfield, Lillie Savage Graham Norton etc but my all time favorite has to be Les Dawson playing the piano off key. Sheila p.s. I also couldnt stand Benny Hill

Eileen, I get your drift!!! I always make sure I go before watching him. (;-))))))))) PS As there is nothing worth watching on Telly tonight, I may just get out one of his videos!!!

Lynda. How could I forget Billy? Every time he is on telly I have to make frequent visits to the loo in case of accidents. Do you get my drift? Sometimes I make it by the skin of my teeth!

Benny Hill wasn't too my taste, Harry Hill and Tim Vine can be funny. I like Graham Norton's voice and occasionally watch him, but he often goes too far imho. Larry Grayson used to live half a mile down my road. Contemporary Comics seem to swear too much and be rude. TC, M & W, Arthur Askey and their ilk didn't do that.

Lynda Report 3 May 2004 14:49

Eileen I agree, could not stand Benny Hill either! I like Ronnie Barker, I think he's a clever man, but my all time favourite has to be Billy Connolly, he just creases me up each time I see him. Lynda

Debbie Report 3 May 2004 14:49

Yep the same as you and again cant stand Benny Hill. He was a milk man from around my area and they have just name a road after him. I dont think there is a comedian out there today that can match up to any of the old ones. Mind you Lee Evan is quite funny. Debbie

Mine is Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise. Couldn't stand Benny Hill. Gave me the creeps. There must be plenty of opinion out there?
