It's time for another edition of Friday Feud here at Kittling: Books. The rules are few and simple:

--Do not duplicate answers.

Now that all the legalities are out of the way............


Let's play The Feud!

Everyone loves to laugh. Name your favorite comedian.

    Kids: Dad, make us breakfast!
    Dad: What do you want?
    Kids: There's leftover cake!
    Dad: Fine.
    Kids (singsong): Dad is great! Gives us chocolate cake!
    Mom (arriving): CAKE FOR BREAKFAST?? Who gave these kids cake for breakfast??
    Kids (weeping): Dad made us eat it!

  5. I knew I'd learn of some new comedians by asking this!

    My answer is Jonathan Winters.

  6. I am going to break the rules. It is very difficult to give a simple answer to this question, so I am going complicated.

    If 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?

  7. 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!
