Top 10 comedians of all time
Just caught bit of the Pink Panther and had forgotten how much I love Peter Sellers so top 10 comedians/comedy actors of all time?
Mine would be (in no particular order)
Peter Sellers
Steve Coogan (for Alan Partridge)
Eddie Izzard
Ronnie Barker
Jack Dee
Jo Brand
Michael Palin
Peter Kay
French and Saunders
Chris Rock
Bill Bailey (ok I can't count)
And why are most comedians men?

Any list without Peter Cook and Spike Milligan is just plain wrong, and Bill Hicks for that matter ...
Lists, endless fun ...

Downloaded stacks of stand ups recently, some good and some great, frank skinner one is excellent, also Frankie Boyle and michael mcintyre one is pretty funny, sean lock is good as are some of the Gervais ones.
And I love Ross Noble.

Re: Top 10 comedians of all time
Jo Brand?
START
10 PRINT "Hi, I'm fat and ugly"
20 GOTO 10
END
She has two jokes: I'm fat, and I'm ugly. She has potential though. As a comic obviously.

Re: Top 10 comedians of all time
As a man who's written and sold jokes to all the top comedians i'd have to say I don't know..It's all a matter of opinion anyway isn't it?
