What's your best ever comedy series?

[Hazbeen]

Oh, just thought

Pheonix Nights Peter Kay is pure genious.

Stand Up

Billy Connolly
Dave Allen
Jasper Carrot
Peter Kay

Is Peter Kay the Scottish guy who used get naked while doing his show? Saw a scraggly looking but piss funny bloke on the comedy channel years ago who I think was Peter Kay. His show was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

[Leaping Lindner]

Fawlty Towers
Yes Minister
Absolutely Fabulous (well the first three series anyway)
Frasier

Nah you're mixing him up with someone else Hazbeen...Peter Kay is a comedian from northern England...possibly JTC's neck of the woods



Only Scottish comedian I can think of who has a habit of sometimes taking his clothes off is Billy Connolly but assume it's not him you're thinking of.

[The Real Number 3]

Jimeon once got his gear off at a montreal festival i think.... Was wearing a big dog head as he didnt want his face to be seen but as he was jumping round, the head came off.

Who remembers a late '70s, early '80s British sitcom called 'Cowboys'?
It was about a totally useless home building firm who eff upped everything they did.
The only guy that I can recall was the Irish, one armed,elderley chap who was in 'Man About the House'.

yep, I remember the guy well (David Kelly - just checked). I think he was the cook in Robin's Nest though. Not sure. he was also a dodgy builder who ruined the door to the Fawlty Towers kitchen. I dunno whether the series was spawned off that episode of Fawlty Towers.

That's him JAS. He is from Bolton in Lancs. Last year he released a cover of Is this the way to Amarillo for a comedy fundraiser. Comic Relief, I think it was. Great stand up comic re-living his childhood, and played two roles in Pheonix Nights. Very Funny stuff.
