Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, Buster Keaton - they started it all

The Young Ones - kickstarted British Alternative comedy

Bernard Manning - still the most popular standup in Britain.

WHATS with the Ken Dodd thing ? You are joking arent you ?

Dodd died about ten years ago I thought. If hes not dead, he ought to be.

Ken Dodd is absolutely not dead. Not yet anyway. And as the intro suggests, comedy is a very personal thing. But Doddy definitely qualifies; there's not a British comedian as highly-respected in the industry.
