This is my favourite, from the Goons:

Yes Sodapop I agree, Sarah Millican is funny too.

Tim Vine. Lots of silly jokes and playing with words. Never rude. We enjoyed seeing him on Countdown the other week.
He was funny when he was in Not Going Out with Lee Mack.

I love Tim Vine's silly jokes.

Some posts on this forum make me laugh

Ricky Gervais
Jo Brand - saw her before she was famous and seeing again soon .
Monty Python
Fawlty Towers
The Inbetweeners
Victoria Wood - saw her live twice and she was hysterical ( things she couldn’t say and actions she couldn’t do on the TV !)

Oops grin

On tv, Would I Lie To You ( consistently funny)
The Office ( both UK and US)
Ghosts (BBC recent comedy series)
Yonderland
Stella Street
Lead Balloon (Jack Dee)

Not a fan of stand up comedy, but Billy Connelly is naturally a funny guy, as is Paul Merton.
Laurel and Hardy have stood the test of time too.

Not a fan of The Goons at all, or Monty Python.

Must don a tin hat and say I never, ever, found Victoria Wood amusing at all, but do think she was actually a good actress.

Dad's Army, the Likely Lads, Only Fools and Horses.....oh, dear, showing my age now. Used to like Dave Allen too, very funny and very fanciable.

I love Lee Mack and Sean lock (e?) in Would I Lie To You.

Lee Mack is such a clever liar too, because he never seems to know what he's talking about. grin

Billy Connolly. I can watch repeats numerous times and still laugh.
Peter Kay ditto.
HIGNFY
Mock the Week

I'm not overly keen on Peter Kay.
He is a bit too gentle in his humour.

I hate vulgar sexual jokes, especially when females make them. It put me right off Sara Millican.
