Who Is Your Favourite Comedian?

Published on August 25, 2006 By Sally jacobs In Humor

I could not get through life without laughing and joking. I have noticed that recently there have been quite a few comedians here who have really had me laughing. Many of them are quite on the edge of political correctness, and that just seems to amuse me even more. You can usually find this kind of humour on the alternative cable channels, where they are hidden away. The BBC has some hilarious comedy shows such as Little britain, and Three non-blondes, who are just a couple of my favourites. So what I am interested in is, who your favourite comedian at the moment is and why? My favourite at the moment is Peter Kay...here's a clip for those of you who don't know.....

Buddah: I loved Mitch Hedberg. His low-key delivery of his comedy was what made it so special. He was great. I only recently found out that he had died.

My kids have even picked up some of his comedy. Anytime we go on an escalator, they remind us that if an escalator is out of order, it's stairs.

Lets not forget "Niles Crane" from Frasier. His behaviour around "Daphne" is always a giggle!

Did you ever see the episode where he thinks his wife is having an affair with the fencing instructor? It was hilarious. If I knew what season it was in I would buy the DVD's just for that show. I think he made the show.

and the relationship between Eddy and Frasier

I like most comedians so it would be tough to choose a favorite, but Steven Wright and Eddie Izzard rank pretty high on my list.

Tim Minchin (Aussie), Bill Hicks, Billy Connelly, Conan O'Brien, Adam Hills (Aussie), Will Anderson (Aussie), Carl Baron (Aussie). In fact, there are a host of Aussie comedians who are really great. I'm not a big sitcom fan. Most sitcoms rely on a situation forged from dishonesty and I just can't see the humour in it. However, shows like The Young Ones, The Goodies, Red Dwarf and early episodes of Dr. Who crack me up.

I would have to say George Lopez or Paul Rodriguez.

Steve Carell in the NBC version of the BBC's The Office.

To be fair I also loved Ricky Gervais in the original BBC version. I also really enjoy Ricky in his newest venture, Extras.

Favorite all time comedy: Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Michael Crawford always had me laughing uncontrolably. That mac and beret and that wally persona and squeeky high voice.

Standup - Steven Wright.
