Funniest seen live?
1. Bob Monkhouse. Best of the lot, and by a fair margin. Pure genius and really rather "blue" live - far removed from his TV appearences. RIP.
The best of the rest:
2. Mike Harding. Simply awesome live - 2.5 hours of side-splitting stuff. Google for "The 14.5lb Budgie", hopefully some's YouTubed it
3. Bill Bailey. 'nuff said already. Another genius of comedy/music.
4. The Big Yin. Only he can get away with what he does. Unique.
5. Ken Dodd. Long, long live shows. Corny and inoffensive but great if you're in the mood
6. Ross Noble. Inventive and funny. Thinks on his feet.
