[DionneB]

in your opinion

i would say

David Mitchell
Jon Richardson
Frankie Boyle.

Victoria Wood
Mickey Flanagan

Stewart Lee
Daniel Kitson
Mitchell and Webb
Joanne Lumley as Patsy
Tim Minchin

Early Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin tv shows. Crying with laughter. Never bettered imo.
Some Morcombe and Wise sketches - the breakfast scene, ‘Andre preview’ etc.
Eddie izzard.
Victoria wood.

What a lovely thread op. Laughing (smiling) remembering so much laughter over the years!

Julia Davis
Tamsin Greig
Julia Louis dreyfuss

Paul Merton. I love Have I got news for you

Bob Mortimer. The guy is a comic genius. Saw Vic and Bob live whilst pregnant and very nearly wet myself laughing!

James Acaster: love his Would I Lie To You stories, especially the one about his arch-nemesis. It's his dead-pan delivery.

One of my favourite funny TV moments was Mock the Week's Things Andy Murray is Thinking with Andy Murray in the audience. Cried laughing at that.

Billy Connolly
Lee Mack
Romesh Ranganathan

Lee Mack and David Mitchell on Would I Lie to You.

Kevin Bridges and Peter Kay doing any kind of stand up.

Oh and definitely Jon Richardson on talk shows. Not so much stand up

I've seen the following live and they were a disappointment

Micky Flanagan
Jon Richardson
Lee Mack
Stewart Lee

But Sean Lock was very good

I generally like
Frankie Boyle
Sharon Horgan (not stand up obvs)
Katherine Parkinson (ditto) - in fact everyone in Hang Ups, funniest thing I've seen in years
And quite like Romesh

Romesh Ranganathan.

Just his deadpan delivery and unimpressed facial expressions. So, so funny.

Bill Bailey. Genius of a man.

Nina and Monkey.
Bill Bailey, saw him in Cardiff and genuinely thought I'd damaged a rib from laughing.

All time has to be Les Dawson.

Dave Allen, Jasper carrot, Ben Elton.

Showed DS sketches of Dave Allen on YouTube, he thought they were hilarious.

French and Saunders

Dave Allen.
Bill Bailey - once saw him live and it was beyond hilarious.
David Mitchell ranting about something.
Tim Minchin and Russell Howard.

Bob Mortimer.
Bill Bailey. ( Laminated book of dreams! )
James Acaster.
Rhys Darby

Flight of the Conchords

Larry David.

Rowan Atkinson/Tony Robinson/Hugh Laurie/Stephen Fry, all together.

Obviously all the Only Fools and Horses cast together.

Harry Hill makes me cry with laughter.

Graham Norton used to make me cry with laughter until he moved to the BBC and they toned him down.

Romesh (dunno his surname), and his mum, he does those hilarious trips to places. The one to Sri Lanka had the whole family in stitches. His mum is brilliant 😂😂😂

I'm not sure she ever made it to TV, but on the radio Linda Smith. I'm still smiling at things she said in 1996.

Dave Allen
Micky Flanagan
Larry David
Eric Morecambe

Aw I used to love Dave Allen @Putitdownnow!

Love -
Lee Mack
Rhod Gilbert
Milton Jones
Reginald D. Hunter
