Well some of the old comics I liked were Les Dawson,Ken Dodd and Max Miller. Ronnie Barker for sitcom and younger ones Ross Noble and Peter Kay,who I think is hilarious.

Victoria Wood is my fav. comedienne,think she's very talented.
Who do you like?

Partridge. Alan Partridge. But what the heck is the name of the exterminator one?

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry!

Blackadder, but only the later ones, and Mr Bean was appalling.

Lemme see, so far that's Hugh Laurie ...

... while I try to think of the name of the one about the roadie turned exterminator we've been watching, that has now been rotated to the one where he plays a DJ named Alan something.

And Graham Norton, of course. ;)

But while you may have started it, we do it better now. Let me fetch some youtubes for you ...

Exotic moi?..yes can be lol

Max Wall was an old comedian/performer in the 1930s through to 50s/60s/70s. He died in 1990.
His silly walk inspired John Cleese.Professor Wallofski was his stage/name act, but he was also a very good serious actor
