To want to know your favourite go to comedy comfort/therapy?

[BobcatDreams]

Well I was going to originally post about something horrific that my narcissist ex had done today to try and completely destroy me forever but fuck them, it worked for a few hours, I nearly slid back down that pit again but nope no thank you, nice try.
Instead I'm going to watch some comedy, last couple of years I've been watching non Brit stand ups Kathleen Madigan and Steve Hughes being two of them.
Love to know yours Thank you

Thank you x
Derry girls was brilliant, fantastic cast. Watched it over and over. Goodness gracious me I loved. "Going for an English" is a classic , I don't think I could be friends with anyone that didn't get what they were doing. I remember one of the sketches being about the primitive railway systems in Britain 😆and another about dressing in local clothes (union jacks) to fit in. Genius.

My two favourites when life is hard are Taskmaster and Ghosts. I'm surprised ghosts hasn't been mentioned actually cos it's just perfect (plus Alison, Mike, Kitty and Mary have all been on TM).

Friends, People Just Do Nothing, Inbetweeners!

Motherland
Not comedy but Call the Midwife or Vera or Miss Marple, instant calm.

Pulling
I’m Alan Partridge
Back To Life
The Office (UK)
Extras

Not really comfort comedy, but I have been listening to the Jonathan Pie podcasts on BBC sound and they are very funny. Bit Alan Partridge like, but an angry radio presenter instead.

Detectorists or Gone Fishing with Whitehouse and Mortimer always cheers me up.

I've watched some Luisa Omelain clips on YouTube which were good too.

I forgot to add Motherland to that list!

I recommend Brooklyn 99. I also love Scrubs and the Green Wing.

Would I Lie to You is great. Bob Mortimer is the best guest ever. Link to a compilation of some of his stories: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1vE8ExuuNZQ

Superstore, People just do nothing.

some have already been said - taskmaster, WILTY, Inbetweeners, 2 doors down, it crowd, outnumbered

I love People just do nothing, watched originally with my teens.

TV:
Ghosts
Detectorists
Early Doors

Radio:
Cabin Pressure
In and Out of the Kitchen (Miles Jupp’s voice brings my blood pressure and heart rate down massively!)

Phoenix Nights
Father Ted
Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle
Harry Enfield and Chums - "Women - Know Your Limits" sketch

The OP needs to look up the Stars in their Eyes sketch from Reeves and Mortimer. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life than when I saw Bob Mortimer be George Michael.

Oh and the IT Crowd episode "Gay - the musical!" So many amazing moments in that!

Gogglebox always makes me laugh. I also like watching First Dates to restore my faith in romance.

Love ghosts and taskmaster (especially Katie Wix) but hadn't noticed that !
Still haven't watched the last series of taskmaster, need to get over my Frankie Boyle issues.

Yet another vote for I'm Alan Partridge. You can't beat it. Has me in hysterics even though I know exactly what's going to happen. I love the episode when he pierces his foot on a spike.
I'll have to give Jonathan Pie a go.
I also recently watched Hebburn on the I player and really enjoyed it.

Dads Army
Porridge
Father Ted

Schitt's Creek. Watch it from the beginning.

Frankie Boyle the standup is a complete creation. Frankie being Frankie is a delight. You won’t be disappointed!

Graham Norton videos on YouTube. Brilliant!

Any Alan Partridge series, Peep Show and both UK and US versions of The Office are my go-tos.

Oh, and The Royle Family!

Stand up
Kevin Bridges or Micky Flannigan.

TV
Peep show
The Royle Family
Car Share
This Country

Yes, from start to finish pure brilliance.
I'm going to have to watch that for the millionth time in a minute
