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

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 |

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 |

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. 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! |

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 |

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

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

Hi, I'm with you, Becca. Eddie Izzard is the greatest. I also love Paul Merton, Billy Connelly, Ben Elton and Peter Kaye. I hate sexist humour - "take my wife stuff" just isn't funny. Observational comedy is what rocks my boat. Gwynne |
