I was going to say that any list of British comedians that doesn't have Tommy Cooper or Morecambe and Wise in it isn't worth much, but of course they're all dead

However, to omit Rowan Atkinson or at least one of the members of Monty Python (John Cleese springs to mind -- Python, Fawlty Towers, Fish called Wanda, etc.) is surely heresy?

What about Bobby Davro ??

Douglasb, Jo Bland is as funny as Dennis Norden. Please show Maria some recordings of this comedy animal so she doesn't fall by the wayside

Oh yes...Dennis Norden, where would we be without him? The ****.

LOL - nearly lost my coffee when I read that (this thread is a damn sight more interesting than the Jap GP that I got up for at 6:00AM on a Sunday morning to watch!).

jonathan ross is the funniest guy on tv at the moment

Brendan Hughes

Well, if you wanted greatest EVER, I'd have put Charlie Chaplin in there

Agree with most comments above. Atkinson, Carrott, and Edmonson have to be in as writers, too. I thought Carrott wrote a lot of Phil Cool's material?

The only funny thing about Woss is that an egotistical cvnt who can't even speak properly could be thought of as humorous..............unless you're laughing AT the Tw@ :

As well as Ronny Barker, Ken Dod is a difficult man to beat for sheer timing and quick humour.

I know we're on about living comedian's but I know a lot of people like The Little Waster aka Bobby Thompson.

Think I'm too young to find him funny though...

LEE EVANS!!!!

I know he's dead, but Bob Monkhouse always made me laugh. He was a funny guy who stood the test of time.

Well - If you are wheeling out the Heavyweights like Good old Bob M, then you have gotta agree that Joe Pasquale is up there.
