The death of the comedian

Forgotten about This Country. And I loved Task master Daisy May Cooper was hilarious on that she's very talented.

Thanks for the warning NK.

Peter Kay is one of the most talented observational comedian ever. His ability to see humour in the most ordinary everyday situtions, is really very clever and very funny. Car Share will be a comedy classic, just like Monty Python and Fawlty Towers are now.

another favorite of mine is QI, I prefer Sandi Tokvig to Stephen Fry but its a close run thing

I know this will go against the mainstream opinions but I never found Ken Dodd Morcombe and Wise or the two Ronnies remotely funny
It's down to taste, I agree. I never found 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' even remotely amusing, I thought I was just silly.
But I saw Ken Dodd live at the theatre. His amazing ability to keep his audience in stitches was legendary. For me, it was a very poignant performance, with the audience singing 'happy birthday' to him. It was for (I think -I'm happy to be corrected) his ninetieth and he died not long afterwards.

Would Australians get This Country, I wonder?

I did recommend it to one DD in Australia the other day, I think she's still enough in touch with rural West Country life to enjoy it and find it funny.

I loved this country too I loved it when he set fire to all the scarecrows

You might like to try Jack Benny

oh its an old series but I loved Jam and Jerusalem....real summery comedy

I like most if not all the above, but the op has a point though.

All the above mentioned apart from Motherland (which has just finished) are relatively old.

Try watching 'Would I lie to you'. you'll find that extremely funny, mainly, of course , Lee Mack

I like Man like Mobeen too but I think some of the humor is very West Midlands

Recently motherland and Wayback when absolutely fabulous… Ricky Gervais.

On You’re Dead to Me my favourite BBC Sounds podcast Greg Jenner has historian and a comedian discussing various historical events. He’s had comedians on the programme that I’ve never heard of but they’ve been so funny. Because he’s one of the creators of Horrible Histories he likes to make history funny and interesting. I must admit to not finding the guy from Ranganation very funny and yet he appears to be on everything. I haven’t seen many stand up comedians but when I have I’ve been bitterly disappointed with them eg Dylan Moran but the stand out stand up was Rich Hall. I love him anyway and his BBC4 programmes are brilliant.

there are no stand up comedians that suit my sense of humour anymore! Sarah millican is just gross and her husband gary delaney is lavatorial ..... each to there own I realise. They could never hold there own in a comedy show because they are not actors of course.. There are many like them.

I watched victoria wood on bbc2 last night, now there was a star.
I like 'would I lie to you' also.
Michael McIntyre I like. I must be a gentle soul

I used to like Little Britain but I can see why many wouldn’t. My Dad, when he was alive, bought me several of the series for Christmas one year because he thought it was patriotic. Love him, he’d never actually watched it and was going by the title !

I’ve never liked Little Britain, it’s always given me the creeps. I don’t understand how David Williams has become the best children’s author since Raould (sp) Dahl. I love Aisling Bea and the comedians they have on 8 out of 10 Cats do Countdown (which I have only recently discovered).

Think being politically correct has stunted flair.

Rod Gilbert and Jack Whitehall for me

I like John Bishop. I also liked the US version of The Office. Can't stand Ricky Gervais.

I liked Gavin and Stacey.

I can’t stand Lee Mack, nasty right wing Covid denier.

Well, I didn't know that. I liked him and his quick wit.

Did anyone see John Bishop's programmes about the Beluga whales rescue?

Rod Gilbert and Jack Whitehall for me

Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience - Classical Musician with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

It was a classic!

I can’t stand Lee Mack, nasty right wing Covid denier.

That's a surprise, what happened? What's he done?
