The death of the comedian

I liked the Office USA after the first series.

Roisin Conaty is v funny
this way up was a good series, i think wrote by sharon horgan
starstruck was good but quite young
loved, back to life
there is loads of funny stuff

Loved Derry Girls, thought Miranda was hilarious, and Motherland.
Quite a few good women comics Sarah Pascoe, Diane Morgan (Philomena Kunk was genius) Rachel Parris

I love Not Going Out and Would I Lie to You.

I lovvveee Billy Connelly he just has funny bones however old and infirm he gets John Bishop is funny and Shapa corsandi
makes me laugh even when she says nothing much Russel Kane does observational comedy well and I don’t mind Michael Macintyre
I know this will go against the mainstream opinions but I never found Ken Dodd Morcombe and Wise or the two Ronnies remotely funny
I don’t really like situation comedy either always seems very contrived so don’t watch the ‘comedy’ series

I do like Derry Girls, but today's comedians don't shine in comparison with the past greats: Morecambe and Wise, Ken Dodd, the Two Ronnies

I think there are some really good comedians around in the UK. Bill Bailey, Lee Mack, and my favourite, John Bishop for starters. None of them are young or potty mouthed.

We went to see Billy Connolly once. I laughed so hard I thought I’d broken some ribs! My stomach muscles ached for days afterwards.

I don’t watch much tv now so don’t know of many modern comedians.

I used to crack up at Kath and Kim.

Noice.

Yes Ricky Gervais I agree is funny. I don’t know the others because we get different stuff here. Nothing worth watching, sadly. We used to have a comedian called Chris Lilley who was quite funny but the pc brigade didn’t like him so he’s gone. He did a spoof on state high schools and private school girls.

I still find Billy Connoly funny.
Mikey Flanagan and Ricky Gervais are funny,albeit they are a bit corse at times.

I like Motherland as well and Not Going Out.

I agree nanna8 there are very few comedy shows or comedians who appeal to me now.

I hated Fleabag. I just couldn't relate to the lifestyles of the people in it at all - a generation thing, obviously, but it just didn't resonate with me.

I thought Detectorists was wonderful, though. Gentle, well-observed, witty and well acted. I'm quite envious of anyone who hasn't seen it, as they have a real treat in store.

There are so many from years ago but more recent ones:

Another vote for Ghosts.
Motherland. Fleabag. Detectorists. Bill Bailey (Live - limboland)- BBC
Derry Girls - Ch4
After Life - Netflix

Have you watched "Ghosts"? yes it has near the knuckle bits but it is also touching and funny. Its by the Horrible Histories crew.
