I don't like arrogant comedians... Joan Rivers has a wonderfully smooth self-depracatingting style.
That with bells on.

This is very true, these three "funny men" they arent real people but are very funny. Alan Partridge, David Brent, Rigsby. I dont find Ricky Gervais funny as a real person, but David Brent is hillarious. Steve Coogan isnt as funny without his Alan Partridge wig on, and Leonard Rossiter nailed it as Rigsby.Perhaps I am nit picking but a funny man is not the same as a comedian.
Perhaps I am nit picking but a funny man is not the same as a comedian. For instance, by his own admission Ronnie Barker claimed that he was not a funny man but could act like one. Tommy Cooper and Spike Milligan on the other hand could make you laugh without saying a word.
Billy Connolly is a funny man.
Richard Curtis wrote the most Blackadder material and also written Vicar of Dibley and many very successful comedy films, but would you call him funny? Probably not.Atkinson / Elton purely for giving us Blackadder.

Like many comedians he is an Oxbridge Graduate. Al studied history at OxfordAl Murray - Pub Landlord always cracks me up (and behind the character a very clever bloke, did a great series on the second world war in northern France)
