"Tim Vine
I had a phone call the other day asking about my availability to manage a football club in Sheffield. I said I can't do Wednesday. "
I rang the local swimming pool and said "Is that the local pool" They said "Dunno, where you calling from?" |

Eric Bristow asked me why I put superglue on one of his darts. I said you just can't let it go can you? |

Tommy Cooper - all he has to do is just stand on stage, look nervous and go, 'huh, huh, huh' and I'm rolling on the floor. God knows what foreigners must make of him.
Ross Noble - all of his gigs that I've been to have been great, but woe betide anyone late, or who attracts attention to himself, because they become his act for the next 10 minutes  |

"we do have so many great comedians for me I dont think many of them nowadays are half as good as the oldies but thats just my opinion"
Too true the old ones earned their money on the working mend club circuit and it was a hard circle. |

I would agree there... I am not sure what it was about Les Dawson for example, or Tommy Cooper and indeed Morecambe and Wise.. and the two Ronnies... as they are still funny today!

Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davis, Mick Millar, Stan Boardman, Les Dawson, Bernard Manning, Charlie Drake, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse, basicly the enter cast of ITV's 'The Comedians'.
Barry Crier - a very funny man though mainly a writer for comedians.
The 'newer' ones you gotta include Ben Elton, Greg Davies, Peter Kaye and a few others.
Tim Vine - don't get him I'm affraid, just not funny his 'jokes' are all predictable playground one liners. |

"Billy Connoly
Russel Howard, Michael Macintyre, Lee Evans, Peter Kay."
MacIntyre - the biggest tool in the box! A grade A cock!
Did a gig with him and all communication had to be through his manager, even though the cock was sat next to him! You ask the manager the question, he repeats it to the cock, the cock tells the manager the answer, the manager then relays the answer to you! Even though we were all stood within 3 feet of each other and could hear everything!! Tool! |

"British comedy is the best - so much better than american canned comedy laughter"
that be fighting talk....
see the stand ups that got me into comedy were the Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Sam Kennison, Bill Hicks, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams ect...
even now... Chris Rock, Dave Chappell, Louis CK
I love british comedians... I love a lot of the newer stuff... Sarah Millican, Jon Richardson, John Bishop.... but is is completely different to american stuff so I wouldn't compare them... |

Must admit some of the US comedians are pretty good so, A fair point, well made
The canned laughter refers US sitcoms, not a big fan, but they seem popular with some... Thats the great thing about comedy, it can appeal to so many different peoples |

My dad loved Dave Allen and I grew to like him too and I used to like Dick Emery. In the 80s I was a big fan of the Mary Whitehouse Experience, Ben Elton, Blackadder, Jasper Carrot.
Just last week I decided to watch one of my sons DVDs which was 'An Idiot Abroad'. I had heard of it before but thought it wouldn't be my thing. I love it, I laughed the whole way through, so even though I'm slow on the uptake and this series ended a year ago, I'm working my way through all the series |

Dave Allen was my fav when I was a kid, along with a lot of Spike Milligan, Marty Feldman and Monty Python, although they were more sketch than stand-up. Love Billy Connelly, Emo Phillips, Ben Elton and Alexei Sayle. Now, favs include Bruce Morten, Jerry Sadowitz, Des Clarke, Tim Vine, Russell Brand, Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr. |
