Who's made you laugh?

Sadly only one live, Miranda Hart. She was so funny, could have sat through the whole show a second time.

My daughter and I went to see Michael McIntyre and we were aching and sore the next day from laughing so much. ?????

Favourite Comedians
John Bishop
Peter Kay
Omid Jalili.
Lee Mack (on not going out).
Tim Vine
I recently discovered Joel Lycett who is really good.

Jim Davidson.
Bradley walsh.
Michael mcIintyre.
Mickley Flanagan,never seen him live.. but would love to go our,out, to see him .

I saw Jack Dee a few weeks before we locked down, it was the last time I left the house I think!

Moran, not Morgan. Stupid auto-correct.

The only comedian I have ever seen live is Eddie Izzard. On the radio, I love Mark Steele and John Finnemore. I did love Miranda on TV. But I find series like Cabin Pressure and Gloomsbury on radio 4 much funnier than stand-up routines.

Saw Billy Connolly back in his prime and he was so funny. I went with my mum who was a bit shocked by the amount of swearing but, like me, was doubled-up with laughter.

Eddie Izzard, who was also very funny. Very glamorous too.

Dylan Morgan. Seen him several times and he was definitely my favourite.

We were going to see Foil, Arms and Hog but it didn't happen. Hopefully we'll see them if and when it's safe for them to tour again. If you are not familiar with them, they are a trio of young Irish comedians who put a little sketch on YouTube every week. I don't suppose they would appeal to everyone but they make me laugh, particularly clips such as "Spending Lock Down With Your Parents." Hog, who plays the mum, has perfected the slow, disapproving look that we mothers do so well!

I would also like to see Michael Spicer, whose series "The Room Next Door" - again, on YouTube - was so brilliant.

Decades ago my father took me to his work do as mum was working - she was a nurse. Bob Monkhouse was the cabaret. He was so rude and hilarious!!! Later on I saw Billy Connolly in his prime, once at Sydney Opera House. He was so funny I got a tummy ache laughing. We also saw Eddie Izard a couple of times. Falling out of my seat funny,

a stage performance of The Goons
Muse If you mean what I think you mean, then "No Way"
The magic of the Goons lay essentially with "steam radio" and resided entirely within your own imagination.
Your "Eccles" would look nothing like mine, but they did exactly the same job.
I can think of several radio (and TV) shows that never made it successfully to live stage.
OoRoo

Thanks for all the contributions.

So many of you have seen Billy Connolly (jealous) . Another past favourite I'd have loved to have seen live was Dave Allen.

WILTY is my TV favourite. David Mitchell and Lee Mack are brilliant.

We get a few acts coming to Cornwall but not many. I miss the convenience of being mid country (Derbyshire) for going to venues.
Hope all the entertainment peeps are coping. Saw Noel Fielding on Grayons's Art Club during lockdown. Excellent.

Billy Connolly
Tommy Cooper
Spike Milligan
Peter Kay
Ken Dodd
The Two Ronnies
Surprised nobody’s mentioned Ricky Gervais!!

Morecombe and Wise
Billy Connelly
Frankie Howard
Tony Hancock
Mickey Flanagan
Victoria wood

There are others, but these are my favourites.

Nowadays the comedian that makes me laugh the most is Lost Voice Guy. He's funny without all the f words that newer comedians seem to think necessary these days. I don't object to some swearing, and in the past I went to see Dave Allen and Max Boyce's shows and they were hilarious. I also like to watch Billy Connelly and Jasper Carrott.

Rob Newman, Dylan Moran... have seen both 3 or 4 times. Laughed so much I cried. Victoria Wood... only once . She was gloriously funny. I love and miss her so much.

Bob Monkhouse so sharpe.

Mickey Flanagan Sarah Millican Peter Kay, Dave Allen, Jimmy Carr, Lee Evans

I also saw Ken Dodd at our theatre in Torquay a few years ago and he was brilliantly funny. Although elderly by then, he had so much energy and went on for hours.
Quite a few years back I saw Tommy Cooper at a Butlins holiday camp and absolutely loved him, he was hilarious.

Ken Dodd. Saw him a few years ago as he was one of the ‘old school’ whom I was determined to get to see before he turned up his toes. He was very funny and did a very clever performance that went on for ever. We actually left the theatre about 12.30 which was long before he finished as it was so hot in there!

The name Oscar shouldn't be in my post. It appeared from nowhere!

I saw Billy Connelly in Dublin a few years ago. I dont think he was very well as he referred to his script a few times. I've seen Brendan Oscar O'Carrol before he became Mrs Brown. His stand up show was the best ever. I'd love to have seen Peter Kay.

Dave Allen aways made me laugh. He was in tune with my sense of humour

I can't believe that no one has yet mentioned Ken Dodd. I can remember, many years ago, being grateful when the interval came in his show because I'd laughed so much that it hurt.

Saw Billy Connolly live years ago & he was brilliant. You just have to get used to every second word being a 4 letter one! Also saw Jasper Carrott who was great.
I loved Victoria Wood- such a shame she is no longer with us.
I like Jack Whitehall too
