Always used to like Kenneth Williams in the carry on films. His facial expressions used to have me in stitches.

I love Joan Sims, especially when she switches between posh, genteel & demure and angry, shouty & common as muck.

May be controversial, but I don't like them as a pair.

 

Pryor's stand-up is incredible and Wilder is pretty much the benchmark for comic acting in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex...

 

But together? Not for me, Clive.

There later stuff was shite but Stir Crazy is an absolutely brilliant buddy film

Peter Cook was great in Whoops Apocalypse (As was Rik Mayall obviously

Ever seen The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer? Peter Cook just oozes effortlessly charming malevolence.

[Alan Sex]

Sid James 

Frankie Howerd 

 

Throwing some new names into the mix, always liked the partnership of Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones (Griff being the better  solo of the two).

My favourites...

 

Leonard Rossiter was hilarious as Rigsby, the funniest character of all time for me.

 

Love Rowan Atkinson in everything he's in.

 

Obviously Rik Mayall was brilliant, especially as Rick in The Young Ones.

 

Eddie Murphy, Ricky Gervais (as Brent, not a fan of his other stuff) and more recently I quite like Ice Cube's serious humour, Jonah Hill has made me laugh my head off as well a few times especially in Django and The Wolf of Wall street.

Yep Rossiter under rated comic genius

[Jairzinho]

Roger Allam was phenomenal in The Thick of It.

[leslie]

Don Rickles, Love this story, when they were in a restaurant, he went over to Sinatra and said, I'm trying to make it with this chick Frank, just have a word on your way out, as was leaving Sinatra passed Dons table and Sinatra said Oh hi Don, Rickles said not not now Frank can't you see i'm trying to eat, Frank said I didn't know what to say I totally fell for it.

Seen him mentioned a couple of times now but I dont think Sid James was funny at all.

[Trumo]

Simon Maroulis has to be in with a shout.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Not the greatest ever but I think Alec Baldwin is excellent.
