I also love Steven Wright. “I can levitate birds, but nobody cares.”

I’ve been on holidays, on an island.

Hang on; I live on an island. OK, a smaller island, and yes of course, I took On An Island.

You guessed it, I’m no comedian.

I vote for Guy, he’s the only comedian I’ve seen in the last (I don’t know if I should tell you that), let’s just say I long time. It was a great night with lots of laughs and good stories.

Cheers.

Wow, I really must stop there! The more I think about it, the more I could go on, hahaha! There are just so many great comedians out there. None of these are in order of preference (except of course for Louis C.K. – saw him last year and nearly busted a gut!).

Great topic FEd!

Difficult one this, but I think there are individuals as well as a collections of people working together. “What is he talking about?” I hear you ask. Let me explain.

I think individuals like Spike Milligan, Tommy Cooper, Tony Hancock and Dave Allan were great, but equally so were certain shows like the Goons, Round the Horn, Monty Python and then things like Only Fools and Horses, Faulty Towers etc.

The person to make me split my sides more than anyone was Billy Connolly and Harold Lloyd, not together obviously!

Note from Spike Milligan’s memoirs:

We were on a ship. Gad, it was hot. We were sitting in our bath chairs watching the sun go by. Suddenly there was a shout of “Man overboard”. We raced to the side and there was a man flailing about in the water. He shouted to us “Drop me a line.” I shouted back “Certainly. Give me your name and address.”

Priceless.

Have a good weekend.
