Mickey Flannagan.
Victoria Wood bless her.
Michael McIntyre.
Joe Lycett.

Rhod Gilbert

Jack Whitehall

Al Read
Lee Evans
Victoria Wood
Russell Howard

Bob Monkhouse
Les Dawson
Rhod Gilbert

Peter Kay.

Just remembered another - the much missed Dave Allen

Lots of good candidates. However....

Victoria Wood is one for sure. I wasn't keen on her until I saw her do a standup about 'women's troubles'. I nearly wet myself laughing!

Does Pam Ayers count?

Victoria Wood and Peter Kay.

Ayres

Billy Connolly.
Kevin Bridges.
Peter Kay.

Almost too many favourites to mention. Victoria Wood of course
I once laughed so much at Michael McIntyre that I could hardly breathe and I was crying so much my glasses filled up with tears. DH came rushing through to see what was wrong with me!
Bob Mortimer is an absolute star on WILTY.

Peter Kay, Billy Connolly, Victoria Wood, Micky Flanagan, and I love Bob Mortimer’s funny stories when he’s on Would I Lie To You.

Ken Dodd
Ronnie Barker
Victoria Wood

From the past, morecambe and wise, Victoria Wood, French and Saunders, Dave Allen. I'm not that fussed about modern comedians.

Janey Godley, her daily vids on YouTube are so good.
Jonathan Pie.
Michael Spicer.

Loved the programme Rhod Gilbert did with Rob Bryden
Ronnie barket and Ronnie Corbet

Steven Mulhern makes me laugh ....he’s a presenter....his off the cuff jokes, and his interactions are really funny. He’s a cheeky happy

I was watching The Two Ronnies last night, or was it the night before ? and realised how clever they were in their musical sketches. The brass band one where they made their own words up as they joined the band along with the tune.
I think I laughed at these two more than anyone.
Then there was Open All Hours.

However, Benny Hill, Dave Allen and his sketches, Dick Emery, Les Dawson, Victoria Wood, Ken Dodd, Tommy Cooper, Mickey Flanagan, Peter Kay, Lee Mack, many others I suspect.

A joke from Victoria Wood----" My boyfriend had a sex manual but he was dyslexic. I was lying there and he was looking for my vinegar. "

Eddie Izzard- his live show was so surreal
Victoria Wood
Bob Mortimer-another great story teller
Miranda Hart
Billy Connolly
Jonathan Pie -amazing skit!
Just started loving Daisy May Cooper

Billy Connelly, Lee Mack, Michael McIntyre when he did stand up, since he’s had the TV show I’ve gone off him. Dave Allen years ago, Sarah Milligan, Frankie Boyle.

Billy Connolly
Peter Kay
Victoria Wood
Ken Dodd
I can't recall ever laughing at any of the 'modern' ones.
