My current fav is a Boston guy Bill Burr

Spike Milligan. That guy really cracks me up.
Peter Cook. A truly sublime intellect.

Pete and Dud did some of my fav stuff on Not Only But Also...
The Goons Radio show with Peter Sellers gets my vote too

The Honeymooners, this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNauilZRzHk
One of the best episodes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6ITeJ7EM0&list=RDKF6ITeJ7EM0

Good drama about Tommy Cooper last night.
The best story I heard was when Tommy was at a golf tournament.
He strolled on to the first tee to much amusement. His appearance always ensured that.
Driver in one hand, golf ball in the other.
He threw the ball into the air and swung wildly at it with the club missing by a mile. Roars of laughter.
Then he turned to the the spectators and said " It's a tough course , isn't it ?"
"Florid, smug, middle-aged golf club bore in this country I'd say. Propping up the 19th hole in deepest Surrey bemoaning the perils of immigration."

Some great choices here. I've always been a big fan of Billy Connolly:

Brief rundown of comic actors and standup for me would include the Python crew, Dave Chappelle, Peter Sellers, George Carlin, Louis C.K., Gene Wilder, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase. I always enjoyed Don Knotts performances on the Andy Griffith show. Just total devotion to the role of the buffoon.

Archie Bunker explains the proper way to put on socks and shoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prRtcQz8Uqk
I think the best sit com of all time, All In The Family, Archie meets Sammy Davis episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfGh82dVtco
