Mae West did some great funny quips like 'when I was good I was very very good but when I was bad, I was better' and 'It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men' for the time quite risky.

Most of the mentioned comedians I've liked. Early Jasper Carrot was very funny and Billy Connolly. Lee Evans can also be very funny except that just recently he is tending to pepper his act with too many f words in his act he has never had to that before so why he is doing that now, who knows? His observation comedy is funny anyway but there you go he obviously thinks he needs it in his act.

When I was small watching Victor Borge on the London Palladium was a treat as was Jack Benny (just about remember) I've always liked that droll sense of humour. Jack Dee is another one of those and he's not too bad in situation comedy either. Dawn French, Victoria Wood (sometimes), Alison Steadman for her comedy character roles such as Abigail's party and the whole cast of the Royale Family, Caroline Aherne's writing is very underrated.
