As a kid in Brid I saw Les Dawson, Ken Dodd, Charlie Williams etc. One who surprised us was the actor who played Seth in Emmerdale; really good as a comedian.

Yep Ken Dodd is amazing Seen all of those guys I also saw Les Dawson at Brid. Saw Seth Armstrong (Stan Richards) at Blue Heaven He was very funny great night. I saw quite a few at the Birkholme Country Club near preston. I saw Lyne Perry there Ivy from Corrie she was quite funny. She was dancing on the tables.

Ken Dodd Ya need a full night when ya see him. What a guy.

Can you say: Ken Dodd's dad's dogs dead...

I suppose he was the main player in the conception of it. I think we have all known a Karl Pilkington in our lives.

The thing with Karl Pilkington is all that moaning and whining he does, it's all true.

Some of the things he's said over the years border on genius. Like when discussing the FBI witness protection programme he asked instead of having to start his life again in a new place with a new identity, new hair and lose contact with his friends and family, couldn't he instead have a new identity, hair etc in court then just go back to living his life as normal.

It would save millions.

Nearly forgot, not a comedian as such but such a funny man, a comedy scriptwriter, check him out on Michael Parkinson, Eddie Braben.

The late, great Peter Cook. And Tommy Cooper live took,some beating.

Anyone old enough to be around at the time will appreciate this classic.

Some of you ****s seem to be confusing "well I don't like them" with them being good at what they do. If loads of other people enjoy what they do, and they themselves do well out of it, they're clearly good at it.

Anyhoo.

Rowan Atkinson.
Rik Mayall
Ade Edmondson
Peter Kaye

All people that make me laugh.

Why is this an argument? It's more often than not that the very ****test in life is also the most popular. I already referenced Shakey, Westlife and Cliff and look at Mrs Brown's ****ing ****s for God's sake.

It's the old "your opinion" versus "a statement of fact" scenario aint it?

Just because YOU think something is ****, does not mean it is, in fact, ****.

It's quite simple.

Sometimes it does.

I didn't say that at all, I'm fully aware my opinion differs from the majority and I 100% like it that way. But we weren't talking about that - I questioned why if something is popular then it automatically follows that it's good?

I think Jack Whitehall is quite possibly the least funny person that ever lived.

Never heard of Lenny Henry?

Kevin Bridges is funny , I read his book on an aeroplane and got several funny looks because I couldn't help laughing out loud

 

[originallambrettaman]

Fair point.

Also, the conversation above has reminded me about that Mrs Browns Boys twat, so I'd like to amend my comment of 'one of the least funny, but not actually the worst'...
