Hi folks,
there have been and still are so many great comics, I think that Lee Evans is so funny, his observation of people and life is amazing...and so true. He's a good actor too have you seen There's Something About Mary? and The Martins with Kathy Burke. There's another funny one Gimme gimme Gimme.
Also Steve Coogan is amazing when he does Paul and Pauline Calf.

I used to love Rising Damp with the late Leonard Rossiter, very funny man.

Max Wall was good as you say.

Jenny Eclair makes me laugh, but she can get a bit rude just for the sake of it.

I also liked Bernard Manning!!

Pam.

I have all the Little Britain DVD's. My type of humor.

I also have to agree with Kathryn. Rick Mercer has to be the top Canadian funny guy.

Russel Peters the East Indian comedian is well liked. My daughter saw him in Perth Australia a few months ago.

Having said that, Canada has very few comedians that I find funny:(

I bought an Ali G dvd for No.1 for his birthday about a year and a half ago. We've never watched it. But his show was running here, saw it once or twice. Hm. Don't recall ...

Never heard of Second City. Provincial.

remember that vaguely yes Mau..in the 80s..I was a teenager...I was more into the muppets!
I think Catherine Tate...good actress..but its been overdone..cliched...
I love humour that is subtle...ironic..observational...of people..
