I cannot abide Harry Hill, I find him as amusing a trip to the dentist for root canal work.
For me, the greatest of the lot was Tommy Cooper, who didn't even have to speak before he had me in fits. The greats on my list include Peter Kay, Norman Wisdom (whom I have had the privilege to meet, in Dover at Cruise Terminal 1), Lenny Henry, Dave Allen, Dawn French, Tony Hancock and Eric Morecambe.
Teamwise or sitcom, French & Saunders, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Mock The Week, QI, 2.4 Children and Men Behaving Badly all do it for me, each brilliant in different ways.
The greatest comedy film of all time? Life of Brian - outstanding script, brilliantly delivered. My best friend won't watch it; apparently it's blasphemous, but I think it's simply because his name is Brian!
