LOL - I think you may be right.

Whilst on, can I say that your opening post was an excellent choice, if incomplete.

Jack Dee, one of the funniest men alive today :)

Morcambe And Wise used to be great, as did The Two Ronnies :D (not sure which of those four are still alive nowday&#39;s though)

Also, there was a guy called Dave Allen (he had a finger missing, if that help&#39;s anyone remember who he was if they&#39;re not too sure) who was funny as heck, but haven&#39;t seen him on tele for about ten years now :(

Lastly, Paul Merton, especially when he&#39;s on Have I Got News For You lol :)

Did you try to do &#39;the fingers&#39; countdown trick or was that just me :P

re. list thanks :) , you are quite correct in that the list was far from definitive there are a good few others I could have listed as I have like a lot of comedians and comedic actors I like but I just wanted to get the ball rolling hoping that others would mention some of my other faves, glad you brought up chic murray :lol:

sasha cohen

canada(british columbia):
ian bag

i would like to comment on the last one. i saw him live at a few very small gigs in los angeles. he is beyond funny, i would pay serious money(more than &#036;50) to see some taped recordings of his work, but he is not a "big time" comedian, he does it for fun mostly. who is he? just some half-irish guy from the desolate, northern region of british columbia. he claims he came from a very small town, that is definitely believable to me, because that part of british columbia isn&#39;t know for it&#39;s big cities. anyway, if you ever get a chance to see him, don&#39;t eat before you go to the show, i have laughed so hard at his routine i almost choked from not being able to catch my breath. he is that funny.
