What Makes You Laugh?

There are some comedians which makes me laugh out loud, and some which leaves me cold, but who or what makes you laugh?

I've been putting my comical tales on here which a few folk have been reading and which makes them laugh, but they're not to everybody's taste, which is fair enough.

The folk that have made me laugh (comedians) have been Johnny Casson, Les Dawson and others of that ilk so, what kind of humour do you like? What tickles you?

Tommy Cooper as a stand up comedian made me laugh.

Peter Key in his sit coms make me laugh but I don,t find him funny in his stand up routine.

Re: What Makes You Laugh?

In past years, Morecombe & Wise, Tommy Cooper and Marti Caine come to mind.

I can't say I like any of today's comedians though.

We seem to like the old comedy ones, I liked Morecambe and wise, Tommy Cooper the Two Ronnies, no-one makes me laugh now adays, I cant stand the bad language.My Dad used to fall on the floor watching Abbott and Costella in Films and it was very embarrasing going to the pictures with him as a teenager.

Re: What Makes You Laugh?

Though I did like Morecambe and Wise, The two Ronnies and especially Dave Allen, I enjoy a lot of the cast of Mock The Week.
I've watched Jo Brand, Dara O'Briain and Russell Howard do stand up, and they are hilarious (though I wish Jo wouldn't swear so much) And Andy Parsons makes me smile as soon as I see him.
Oddly I couldn't stand Johnny Carson or Les Dawson, or Tommy Cooper come to think of it....

I agree Kathleen, many comedians these days seem to vie with each other to utter the most expletives in a 'listen to me aren't I daring ' sort of way which doesn't impress me at all and makes me yawn .
