Classic comedians

Was watching a bit of Dave Allen on YouTube, watched him as a kid, when my mum would let me stay up a bit.

Still makes me laugh

Just the mere thought of LD playing the piano makes me laugh

Remember his show from the 90s? on Sky, not to everyone's taste but comedy rarely is.

Can't have a comedians thread without Birmingham City's most famous supporter.

Always liked his sketches with Robert Powell, the Detectives XD.

Horrifically unPC but boy could he deliver a punchline.

Genuine genius. 

 

The funniest man who ever lived I think, how could play the piano "wrong" still fascinates me.

Out of the current comedians now, Michael McIntyre is one of the preferred ones personally.

Switch off automatically when Sarah Millican is on, more annoying than funny.

remember as a 13 year seeing occasional Dave Allen.... for some reason this was my favourite and "go to" joke for 10 years... sheer genius

Liverpool's finest who passed away earlier this year.  His marathon stand-up shows were legendary and he could appeal to all ages.  A generation of children delighted in his Ken Dodd and the Diddymen shows.  He was also a singer with a series of successful songs, 'Tears' was one of the best selling songs of the 1960s.  IMO well worthy of a place in this thread.

One of the greats, and no profanity. Unlike today's "trendy" stand-ups.

Just to prove comedy, like music, is a matter of personal taste. I paid quite a bit of money to see McIntyre live because my daughter likes him and we went together. He was unbelievably unfunny. 

To me, Millican is just awful, yet Mrs Parafox finds her hilarious.
