peter kay.

yeah, i think peter kay is great too.
tend to like the older comics such as les dawson, morecambe and wise, two ronnies, etc. mind you i can't stand jim davidson

[Rude Boy]

To your list of old, classic comedy shows I MUST add Steptoe and Son. I've just finished watching a new comedy show called "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" and that was bloody funny too. I really think we're in a golden era of comedy right now but wether the modern shows stand up alongside the classics is a tough one. Personally I reckon Alan Partridge, The Office, Phoenix Nights etc are in the same league as Steptoe, Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise etc but that's just my opinion.

[Pervert]

Sorry, but the Marenghi thing just doesn't do it for me.

Never liked Steve Coogan in any thing he has gone.......to be honest I never watched one Alan Partidge eps.......just thought it would be a waste of time!!

I hate to admit this because Peter Kaye is from Lancashire and i'm from Yorkshire , but the man is a god-like genius!

When Johnny Vegas first came around, he was great and the TV show 'Happiness' only re-enforced this, but the last 12 months, his output has been shit. Yes, Im afraid Johnny IS overrated.
I agree with the other examples, but for Mark and Lard, who I think are brilliant, but then again, I think Chris Moyles is a twat

I think Kay is a God, Pheonix Nights absolutely brilliant.

like the englebert humperdinck advert too with kay in a working mans club.

[Wink Wink]

It's not a working mens club steve........it's set out in L.A.!!

I think it's a good ad too.......when it starts you think what's all this about!! Then right at the end you get the gag line.......nice one!!
