Edited by: Nuala Reece on 19/06/2007 17:48:20 Too many favourites to mention. Someone mentioned Open All Hours though and forgot to mention Porridge - one of the all time greats. Phoenix Nights is a good one too, although I'm not sure how well it'd translate for a US audience.
Rab C Nesbitt was great, as was Naked Video where he first appeared. And for more excellent Scots sketches try Absolutely. Callum Gilhooley and the Soneybridge Council still make me giggle just to think about them Calum Gilhooley
Lots of the shows already mentioned might be listed on http://www.alluc.org

Originally by: Lord Zoran RIP Bernard Manning (best comedian ever) now theres a guy that you should all watch as well as roy chubby brown, he was apparently racist but absolutely hilarious and he isnt offensive at all as he takes the **** outta everyone including himslef from time to time 
Hmm - good to know racism is ok so long as they're racist about everybody I saw the film following Chubby Brown and thought the filmmaker was spot on - a lot of his stuff is very funny and he's a talented comedy actor but it was clear that while people were laughing at his self deprecating jokes they were just cheering at his racist stuff. It kind of suggested that the latter wasn't appealing to his audience's sense of humour but to their prejudice, which doesn't make for good comedy in my book.

Took me a while to find it, but the one thing I can appreciate about Bernard Manning as a comedian was that he gave John Thompson the chance to create this character Bernard Righton
