Loads and loads of favourites. Chubby, ( if you are broad minded) was good in his heyday! Billy Connelly, Freddie Star, and if you are from up North, Steve Womack.

Matt Lucas, and David Williams are really funny too. Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders...

Blackbird, I like chubby (you fat bast*rd) brown too. And all the others, never heard of Steve Womack though. Will have to google him.



PS David Williams changed his name to David Walliams when he joined the actors union. (bit of useless information ;-)

I've seen Rhod Gilbert do the same sketch somewhere else, it was identical. Very good none the less.



PS Batterboy, are you the bloke that runs Cod Baba by any chance? Look a bit like him. Hard to tell from a thumbnail pic.

I think you are mistaken about me trying to be 'funny'. Look up the word 'sarcasm' in the dictionary then you will know where I am coming from.

Spike Milligan...



I used to go to the Paris Theatre, Lower Regents Street to watch the recording of his radio programs.



His ad-libbing and quick wit had the rest of the cast in stitches. It used to take over an hour to record a scripted half-hour program due to so many 'corpsing' episodes caused by his deft asides.
