Ross Noble - I've seen him live every year for the last 3 years and every time its awesome.

I'd love to stay and chat but you're a total bitch.

Steve Coogan - despite the fact that he has a predilection for having his fingers too near the self destruct button.

Spike Milligan is my favourite comedian of all time.

The Goon Show is on of the funniest shows I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. If you have never heard it you have a real treat in store.

Even in death Spike make people laugh. On his grave stone he had written: "I told you I was ill"

I think Harry Enfield is very undervalued. I caught some of the sketch show he did with Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson on Dave recently and it all holds up incredibly well. So perceptive and clever and funny. I remember watching the first time he did Loadsamoney on the TV and how the crowd just exploded with laughter in recognition at it. That sketch show will be watched long into the future after much more inferior stuff like Little Britain and The Fast Show are forgotten. Shame his last series with Whitehouse wasn't great.

Fry & Laurie were funny - although their last series was panned by the critics.
