Who's made you laugh?

Peter Kay! He has pretty much dropped off the radar for the past couple of years - I haven't heard why, but really miss him1 I hope he is ok.

My favourite comedians are Lee Evan's I only have to look at him and he makes me laugh , Billy Connolly, Jethro and the late great Mike Reid.

I miss victoria Wood. I used to love Dave Allan, and enjoyed Morecambe and Wise. Sarah Millican is a disaster. She never stopped talking about the female private parts. Nothing she said was a joke. Jasper Carrot is OK,

Billy Connolly
Jasper Carrott - both in his "heyday" and also more recently with Bev Bevan of ELO
Sarah Millican (three times - our fourth has just been rescheduled to next year )
Richard Digance (does he count as a comedian, or just a folk singer)
Joe Pasquale (bored me to tears)
Were booked to see Peter Kay the year before last, but he cancelled all future performances
Jon Richardson

I would love to see
Peter Kay
Michael McIntyre

and I deeply regret never getting to see the divine Victoria Wood

Ah ken Dodd he was the best comedian .

Ah ken Dodd he was the best comedian.

Lee Mac, although have never seen him live, but I'd really love to. Michael McIntyre and John Bishop are funny guys, I cringed at some of Jimmy Carr's jokes when I went to see him. Always remember my wee mum giving off about Mrs.Browns Boys saying that 'woman' has a dreadful mouth, needs it washed out lol

Jasper Carrot, the no bleeding Bovril sketch
Jason Manford, talking about slimming
Lee Evans, everything
Ben Elton, Gotta get a double seat ( on the train)
Victoria Woods song about students living on Mr Kipling cakes and Ready Brek.
Don’t particularly like Billy Connolly, he relies too much on the F word to pad it out. He’d be a lot funnier without all the swearing.
John Bishop.

Victoria Wood, best female stand up ever sadly missed. Saw Bob Monkhouse, Ken Dodd and one nobody's mentioned, Charlie Williams, back in the late 60s/early 70s. All absolutely hilarious. Love Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre and Rhod Gilbert.
Sarah Millican was funny on TV when she first came on the scene but is disgusting now (or maybe she always was, live, and it's only come home to me lately since YouTube carry so many of her live shows. The last time I watched her she made an allusion to a teenage boy which, had the genders been reversed and she'd been a male comedian talking about a teenage girl, would've shut the show down I'm sure. It should have done anyway, odious woman.

Seen

John Bishop

Sarah Millican

ALL MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD

Also seen Miranda Hart, who did not make me laugh at all!

Ooo and I've seen peter Kay too!

Dave Allen, Kevin Bridges, Lee Mack, Rob Brydon, John Bishop. No women, apart from Victoria Wood. Find it difficult to listen to Sarah Millican.

Another vote for Michael McIntyre here . His gentle ramblings about children & what they say & how they behave always make me laugh.

Kevin Bridges was definitely one of the funniest I've seen. Also John Bishop and Micky Flanagan. But the gig I saw years ago that really had me in stitches was Francie and Josie alias Jack Milroy and Rikki Fulton. A very Scottish pair of comedians but hilarious. Wonder if anyone else remembers them.

Just noticed Gwenisgreat1 mentioned Francie and Josie too. I saw them for the first time at the King's Theatre in Edinburgh. I was about 8 years old and my mum and dad had written to them telling them it was my birthday. They called out my name from the stage and sang "Jeannie McCall" for me. I almost fainted!

Brian Conley, absolutely brilliant wish he was on TV more

Haven't seen many live but Bill Bailey and Jo Brand were excellent.
I used to show new students the Dave Allen "Telling the time" sketch during induction week and reassure them our maths lessons would be much clearer (although probably not as much fun). I found it incredibly funny, even after watching it upteen times.

Another Jasper Carrott fan here. It looks like I haven't seen some of the sketches mentioned here so I am going to look for them.

I used to like Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and some (but not all) of Dick Emery's sketches.

I also like Paul Whitehouse. I only have to see his face and I start laughing! Others probably react to me that way too.....!

In case anyone's interested in the Dave Allen sketch

Ken Dodd he lived near me, his wife, lady Ann still does and he was always wondering around, but spent a lot of time away ,as it was his ambition to play every theatre in the uk
Saw him a few times and he had the audience captivated , usually until after midnight as his shows went on for so long,
And yes, he did live in knotty ash but I’ve never seen the jam butty mines

How did I forget Peter Kay!!! Saw him live in Blackpool, 'the lyrics of songs that we sing wrong' that he does is hilarious. Also Car Share, just love it.

Peter Kay

Loved Hinge and Bracket too. Used to watch them as a child, don’t think I realised they were men!

Aveline

I was lucky and saw Billy Connolly in his prime. Very very funny.
The other live stand up was Spike Milligan. He was excellent.
In a slightly different vein we loved an evening with the 'Dear Ladies' - Dr Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Brackett'.

I saw Hinge and Brackett when I was doing an Open University summer school in Norwich one year and they were brilliant .
I would have loved to have seen Flanders and Swann live but had to make do with them in the tv and cds.

Dave Allen was the best! Saw him live in London many years ago.
Billy Connolly of course, knicker-wetting humour.

And Victoria Wood, lovely lady.
