ReplyDeleteI knew I'd learn of some new comedians by asking this!
ReplyDeleteMy answer is Jonathan Winters.
I am going to break the rules. It is very difficult to give a simple answer to this question, so I am going complicated.
ReplyDeleteIf we're talking comedians who are also clowns, I would have a tie between Red Skelton (USA) and Tony Hancock (UK).
If we're talking comediennes, I have a tie between Mollie Sugden (RIP and sorely missed), and Dawn French (both UK).
If we're talking stand-up comedians, then Bill Bailey (UK).
If we're talking wit, ie comedy driven by a fearsome intelligence, then Stephen Fry (UK).
If we're talking comic improvisation, then Lenny Henry (UK).
If I have to choose a favourite comic routine to listen to, rather than watch, it's a tie between Bill Cosby's Noah, and Peter, Paul and Mary's In Concert album.
The sad thing is, I live in Australia, and there isn't one Aussie on my list. We have a ton of good comedians, just not my favourites.
Even I realize I've hijacked the thread, so I'm stopping. But thank you Cathy for the chance to think about one of my favourite subjects. Can we have a question about writers of humour soon?
Susan--It wasn't a hostile takeover, so don't worry about it! I think your request for writers of humor is an excellent one!
