Lots of comedy performers and actors I really like and too many good ones for me to really have a favourite, but Tommy Cooper jokes seem to stick in my head better than anyone else's.
Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
Doctor to patient: "I haven't seen you for ages". Patient: "Yeah, I've been ill".
Tommy Cooper for me. Jokes are so bad they're good, i use his jokes all the time and all my mates just beat me down as they don't think they're funny lol. But at the moment it has to be Ross Noble, i saw him live at the Apollo a month ago and i don't think i've ever laughed that much in my life.

not to be considered one of the greatest - yet, but that woman who won that celebrity scissor hands recently, she was on at up the creek, and she was hilarious. can't remember her name tho. I think i wrote about her earlier in the year as she had to deal with a racist idiot in the front row. ninia?
Billy Connelly had me falling off my chair when he first appeared on Parkinson. Tommy Cooper - Priceless. Two goldfish in a tank, one says I'll drive - you can fire the gun. Peter kay and Gervais current favourites.
Lenny henry at the Tramshed in Woolwich which had a comedy club on a friday/saturday night was bloody Funny, got to meet him afterwards as well,top bloke.
Apparently i have met Tommy cooper as my mum knew him and my mum went to a few parties that he used to hold, only problem was i don't remember as i attended but was too young to remember. FACT

Funnier with his delivery, of course.

That was Lee Mack, who i thought was ace. Sean Lock (with the glasses) followed, and i didn't rate him at all, particularly the budgie sketch.
The week before, i think his name was Michael McKintosh, he was excellent.
lee mack is genius, saw him at up the creek 10 years back, cracked us up! Now he does that prog with tim vine 'Not going out' which is awesome.
Peter kay and Gervais current favourites.
Jimmy Car He has me in stiches!!
Tommy Cooper- legend.
I also like Billy Connolly, Lee Evans and more recently Dave Chappelle (a yank I know)
