    Kevin Bridges makes me laugh. Little glaswegian gadgie, but dead funny.

    There has been some great names mentioned in this thread, but the two who I can't abide are Frankie Boyle ( tries to shock, but is just not funny) and Chubby Brown (I just don't find his crudeness funny).

    Stewart Lee is the funniest comedian I've ever seen live. I like Dara O'Briain and Sean Lock but they don't really hold a candle to Stewart Lee

    I like Kevin Bridges. Sean Lock is very good. Rhod Gilbert I like. I think Rich Hall is very clever and excellent value. What little I've seen of Micky Flanagan has been decent.

    Going back over though, too many to consider. When I was really young, Dave Allen always had me in stitches. Never actually gone back to see if he still strikes a chord now.

    Three good choices, agree about Roy (Chubby) Brown relying on crudeness for laughs, not a great family entertainer.

    He's not a family friendly comic though so he can get away with that, I'm sure his DVD's won't be a PG rating.

    Richard Prior for me is the stand out comedian mentioned thus far - loved his stuff.
    As for best comedian seen live has to be Bill Hicks - true genius

    Greatest comedy actor of all time is without a doubt Peter Sellers. He is the only person who could make a 2 hour film of themselves falling off sofas and talking in a silly voice consistently funny.

    This is quite simply the best comedy scene ever:

    See No Evil, Hear No Evil, did you see that one? Prior and Wilder, what a team they made. Great laugh.

    can't argue with that Sellers is genius. "Being There" is incredible.

    The comedian who makes me laugh loudest is good old Bernard manning.

    Just funny as ****.

    Some jokes are **** and needlessly racist, but some are bang on.
