I think Jewish comedians who tell Jewish jokes are usually very funny.
Bob Monkhouse was just too slick and smarmy for me.

I once dislocated my jaw laughing so much at Ken Dodd. He is still very funny but not crude.

I dislike the cruelty and crudeness which these days seems to be portrayed as humour.

Bob Monkhouse was very American in style I always thought and not really my cup of tea though I did quite like Jack Benny.

I watched 'Peter Kay Live at the Manchester Arena' again last night. I just love his observational humour and rate him one of the best comedians around. Russell Howard sometimes seems a bit uncomfortable and his show is patchy.
Some people are just funny people, so you start to smile as soon as you see them - I am thinking of Eric Morecambe , Tony Hancock and Les Dawson. I have never liked comedians who just tell jokes - I never enjoyed Ted Ray or Bob Monkhouse.
Who is or was your favourite comedian?
