Benidorm is full of them, some good & some crap, we’ve just seen one in the hotel, he did an excellent job of being funny & keeping it clean.

Not a Buble fan but sad to see he’s retired from music due to his poor son’s cancer

Most Northern comedians bore me. It’s a bit like listening to a warm up act in a 70s’s working mens club. The usual crap of “anyone here from Blackpool, or Manchester or .....”
Once a ‘local’ friend is found the whole act is tailored to that or those locations, in essence a load of Northern shite. Bit like talking Derek about his horse shit pile really.

I can’t stand the Chubby brown & Bernard manning types but some people rave about them.
Many on here would be shocked by prison humour but it’s what gets us through the day but use it at home & it’s what would get us divorced.
Comedy is different things for different tastes, I got an earfull from Bev a while back when a guy fell over in the street, Bev went to help him I laughed.

Yep, northern comedians are shite. Makes me wonder if that dough-faced twat Macintyre is a closet northerner as he’s about as funny as rabies.

The only comedians that have REALLY had me in hysterics are Robin Williams (RIP), Jasper Carrot, Harry Enfield with Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke, and Ronnie Barker.

Oh, and the Monty Python films but not sure if that counts because it’s a team effort.

The great comedians never needed to resort to the potty mouth stuff.

Billy Connolly could have been great, but.............

I was lucky enough to see Bob Monkhouse live. Genius.

One of the funniest comedians I ever saw never made thebig time, a guy called Mike Lancaster, I defy anybody to finish a pint whilst watching him, you’d end up wearing most of it or spraying it over your other half.

Craig Murray or the bloke from the plusnet ad to you lot, I have seen him a few times he really is original & hilarious, no two acts are ever the same as he seems to make it up as he goes along & lets the audience participate

I used to work st Butlins years and years ago
I saw a few famous acts Tom OConnor, Jimmy Tarbuck and Kenn Dodd etc etc
Ken was the only one to come and chat to and thank the bar staff at the end of the night (and bought us drinks)
He really was a true gentleman (y)
