Here is a comedian that I liked very much.

I read all of his books: "Mussolini; My Part in his DownFall." "Hitler; His Part in my Downfall." "Puckoon" and ofcourse listened to "The Goon Show". He seemed to develop a cult following.

Please contribute comedians whom you have liked and loved.
I do not want to be the lone voice in this thread.

I never understood British humor until this.

This is all new to me. Makes me think of the old Benny Hill shows.

More Goodies; about the ancient Lancashire martial art of Ecky Thump:

Warning!!! Apparently, a man literally died lauging whilst watching the second of the above. From Wikipedia:

On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, literally died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a black pudding-wielding Bill Oddie (master of the ancient Lancastrian martial art "Ecky-Thump") in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of "Hoots-Toot-ochaye." After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the settee and died from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant.

Between the 'Goodies' (which I had never heard of before), and 'Blackadder', I cannot stop giggling.

I am so pleased that I am not the only one with a warped sense of humour.

Cheers
