Who is the funniest person you have seen on TV of all time?

[DionneB]

in your opinion

i would say

David Mitchell
Jon Richardson
Frankie Boyle.

I think more of particular programmes -
Fawlty Towers (but it was the whole cast, not just John Cleese), or

Only Fools and Horses - again, the cast, the script all coming together.

Morcombe and Wise for sheer consistency over so many years.

The Detectives - again, the script and cast combined.

In terms of 'stand up' - Billy Connelly back in the 80s. Jasper Carrot in his hey dey would both be good shouts.

After the Bros documentary, Matt Goss

I’m still laughing now on and off at him

Oh, and all 4 of them on Not the Nine O'clock News - again though, sketches rather than a 'stand up routine'

Victoria Wood!

And Russell Howard.

Not tv and I probably wouldn’t bunk so now but the time I remember laughing the most was when I went to see Austin Powers the spy who shagged me.
We had managed to get into a 15, i was out with my friend from school and I remember sitting and laughing and thinking to myself ‘I’ve never been happier than in this moment’

I think it was when they blimp was going past and they keep cutting scenes so it appears they are saying euphemisms for penis

What a saddo lol

So many typos sorry

Stewart Lee.
Chris Morris.
Mark Thomas.
David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
Newman and Baddiel.

Back in the day both Alexei Sayle and Ben Elton were hilarious

Billy Connelly
Kevin Bridges
Joe Wilkinson
Romesh Ranganathan

Victoria Wood or Jo Brand.

Rowan Atkinson

Stewart Lee doing an impersonation of Russel Howard.

Allan Carr live ( it was a warm up/practice for his major tour) so it was pretty informal a free for all. Absolutely fantastic I couldn’t speak for a week afterwards as my cheeks were so swollen and jaw was so sore from all the laughing. I love him.

Basil Fawlty.

Let’s just call it....

Bryan Air

Norman Wisdom

Billy Connolly just has funny bones.

I also like Dave Allen, for those who remember him

Frankie Boyle used to make me cry with laughter on Mock The Week

But he goes to far and has said dreadful things about unfunny subjects for a cheap laugh.

I remember thinking I would die laughing at Trigger Happy TV but is old hat now

Taskmaster is the funniest thing I watch now

At his best, Bill Bailey.

Only fools & horses
Ben Elton (before he sold out)
Jo brand
Matthew Perry
Michael McIntyre
Russell Howard
Early billy Connolly
Kevin bridges
Robin Williams

ALL Billy Connolly years
Kevin Bridges
Peter Kay
Les Dawson
Robin Williams

Rik Mayall
David Mitchell & Robert Webb (Peep Show)
Vic and Bob (House of Fools/Shooting Stars)
Matt Berry

Peter Kay for me! Loved his facial expressions and his accent

Billy Connelly

Also, I love - A League Of Their Own. A funny group of boys being boys. Love it!

Billy Connolly
Kevin Bridges
Russell Kane
Lee Mack
Farmer Jim (stand up Scottish comedian with clips on BBC)

Back in the day -
