Rowan Atkinson. I’m unable to watch Mr Bean or Blackadder with a straight face. Everything he does is comedy gold.
Also the one and only Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. Watched his stand up program and spilled my drink multiple times
James Acaster is the correct answer in here - he is hilariously funny and very progressive
“Can you tell us about your flapjack?”
"Started making it. Had a breakdown.
…Bon appetit."
Scrolled too far without seeing Weird Al listed. He may not do stand-up but he’s absolutely a comedian, and he’s been making me laugh consistently for 30 years now.
George Carlin
Fern Brady I find always makes me laugh, it’s like she’s enjoying herself and just bringing everyone else along for the ride. Even in interviews I just end up really enjoying myself.
Loved her on Taskmaster. “Have I met these potatoes before?!”
Between herself, John Kearns, and Munya, that season was a goldmine for ‘comedians I had never heard of before and ended up loving’.
I’ve never watched taskmaster you know? People keep saying I should but there’s just so much of it and only so much time in the day.
Try Fern’s season! You don’t have to watch any of the seasons in order, they all exist in a vacuum. And it’s all on YouTube! I say give S14 E1 a shot and see how you like it :)
