In another thread in this newsgroup I was asked to name if not list my
favorite comedians, as there was some doubt as to what if any type or kind
my sense of humor is or was supposed to be!
Well I am trying to come up with a list of my favorite comedians both past
and present be they foreign or domestic but I am all to aware that comedy
in its many forms has and continues to evolve.
Using the 1960 movie *Carry on Constable* as a compare and contrast of sorts
with the 2007 movie*Hot Fuzz*
In my own way I enjoyed both movies, but to my way of thinking the 1960
movie was better.
Just a very short list so far of British comedians that I have enjoyed in
the past.
