I dont much care for "stand up comedy" though I realise it is a particularly difficult medium.....

I much prefer situation comedy if well written.

In Scotland we had several series of "Rab C Nesbitt" written by Ian Pattison, which were very successful...and very funny
"Steptoe and Son", "Till death us do part" and the famous "Monty Python" series.

My all time favourite is a little known series called "Early Doors" which has beautifully observed comedy characters and is based on a North of England Pub and its landlord and customers.

It can be viewed on Youtube....both series
