If you are not a 'leftie', who are your comedy/entertainment heroes?

There are people who actually like MIchael Moore?

God, I cannot abide Billy Bragg. What a tosser.

I think Little Britain is hilarious - so non-PC which is a blessed relief in this day and age imo.

I think Little Britian is awful. I don't see what is funny about a young unmarried girl with loads of kids. That program just justifys that sort of behavior.

Paula do you like The Royle Family and Phoenix Nights? Just wondered because people who don't don't seem to like Little Britain much either.
I don't think it's particularly about politics, you don't have to agree with someone's politics to find them funny or admire their cleverness.

I like Michael Moore.

I like athiests

Spitting Image took the piss out of everyone - David Owen, David Steele, Neil Kinnock, etc so I don't think it's just leftie territory.

If somebody's funny, then I don't mind hearing them knock my political ideals. I'm not definable by party btw, nobody covers all the things I want!

I like Little Britain and not Phoenix Nights or Royle Family. I think Peter Kay is spectacularly unfunny and Caroline Aherne is dull.

Pruni, do you like Mark Thomas?

Jethro. HIL-arious.

Roy 'Chubby' Brown. a laff riot.

Oh thank GOD I know you're joking Aitch!

I was going to say Roy Chubby Brown! but wasn't sure if people would think I was joking

Jim Davidson. I pissed my pants.

Bernard Manning. Rest In Peace, Funny Man.

Stan Boardman. Total Fokker.

Lennie Bennett. Bring Back Celebrity Squares.

Aitch, you're making me larf and larf.

I just don't get what's funny about Peter Kay. He's very, very predictable, IMO. I like a comedian who I can't guess the punchline with, or who educates me. Not one who goes "gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarlic bread" [wtf]

i find Peter Kay really warm and cheering, iykwim? his childhood sounds not dissimilar to mine in many ways (although my father was a staunch advocate of alium-heavy bread products) so he proper warms the cockles of my heart when i see him. for some reason the stuff about the Alpine lorry makes me cry. tears.

Bernie Winters. Although i preferred Schnorbitz.

Bernie Clifton. Although i preferred the man-sized bird thing.

Kenny Lynch. Although I can't remember his jokes.

Jimmy Tarbuck. Although i prefer Liza.

Kenny Everett. Big Hands

i think paula is american hence not getting of little britain.

i am not american - understand its proported humour - but think its the biggest load of shite...apart from.....the office wwith whom it shares first place.

similarly although not exclusively, i think it helps to be northern to get certain peter kay jokes.

just as i am sure that you have to be southern to get a lot of catherine tates stuff.

other comedians who deserve digging up and shooting are
kenny everet
benny hill
frazier, that wasn't even funny once.
