Got to agree that Tommy Cooper was a great comediam and worked so hard at his art, another who works to perfect his act is Ken Dodd, and he loves his trade. Dodd's ability to work an audience is second to none.

Another who took comedy to a new level, but I didnt like the guy that much, was Bob Monkhouse.

Spike Milligan was a man apart, his comedy took on surreal proportions, Puckoon and the WW2 books were as hilarious as they were sad. I only wanted to meet two people in my life, who I respected above many others, Milligan was one of them and the world is a lesser place for his passing.

The biggest weapon in a comedian's armoury is timing, for that the prize goes to Eric Morecombe, he had that in spades.

Of the modern day comedians, Lee Evans and Peter Kay have already been mentioned and they deserve it.

PS anyone heard of Bob Newhart?

Bob Newhart - "The Driving Instructor". His stuff remains as funny today as 50 years ago.

The script of the sketch. For those new to Newhart, he had a dead pan voice and most of his sketches were a "one man" effort. Enjoy

Lee Evans is great to see live as is Chubby Brown, Billy Connelly has to be the worst ever (for me), i'd put him alongside Lenny Henry in the comedy arena.
Good actor though!!
