Comedy recommendations?

[meringue33]

Along the lines of Fleabag, Catastrophe, Motherland, Pulling, Crashing, Black Books, Father Ted, Still Game, Young Offenders, Parks & Recreation? Heartwarming yet laugh out loud funny?? Desperately need something light to watch to offset Once Upon a Time in Iraq. Thank you

Mum??? Very funny and has the gorgeous Peter Mullen in it... here

Sex education.

Friday Night Dinner

The IT Crowd

I'm loving Cougar Town at the moment. It's on Prime.

Gameface?

I second Friday Night Dinner. Also loved Man Like Mobeen and The Detectorists.

The other one

Schitt's Creek is great. Power through the first few episodes, it grows on you.

Derry Girls. Though depending on where you're from/have lived/have watched, you might need help understanding some of the terms used. And if you enjoy that one, you'll probably enjoy London Irish. (I found London Irish much funnier second time around, after I'd watched Derry Girls.)

And, staying in Northern Ireland, if it's still on iPlayer or other platforms, Soft Border Control.

Also Schitt's Creek. Don't let the title put you off. Really, it's lovely.

And Friday Night Dinner.

And Sex Education.

And Detectorists.

Misfits!

Brooklyn 99

Inclusive and tackles big stuff while making me laugh out loud so hard the cat leaves the room

Murder in Successville is very funny

Two doors down

This Country

Detectorists
This Country
People Just Do Nothing
The IT Crowd
Spaced
Taskmaster
Travel Man - not a comedy per se but always makes me chuckle and they visit some really beautiful and interesting places, so great if you need some escapism

I second schitts creek, sex ed and game face. All fab. Sex Ed the best imo as its gripping too, not just funny.

Friday night dinner is SO marmite.

Detectorists and Schitt’s Creek are both lovely, funny while not being nasty, no big contrived dramas, just gently, nicely funny.

@toomanyspiderplants Nooo! He's gorgeous and I love his accent... I first found him on a drama called This Little Life....

The Letdown- on Netflix. Funny Australian show.
Working Mums- also on Netflix.
Both similar to Motherland. Loved them both. Good comedies with heart.

Hi, thanks so much everyone! This is a great list to get started with! Took your advice & rewatched E1 of London Irish tonight (OH is from NI) and it was much funnier than remembered! Think we only tried it for ten min last time. Will work through the list, appreciated!

Loved the Letdown and Spaced and the IT Crowd. Watched about half of Man Like Mobeen, must go back to it.

Life In Pieces is hilarious!
