II feel sorry for people that don't drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that’s the best they’re going to feel all day.  Bernard Manning

British Comedians

           

My name is Stephen Burns, I am 58 years old, married  and I live in Cardiff the Capital of Wales in the UK. If you are interested in my biography it can be accessed here

I have made up this site for my own pleasure, and it is free and I will not asking for any donations for it. If however you have just won the lottery and want to send a few thousand quid my way, please do. I mean to say, am I that stupid? (Don't answer that!)

'I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.' Tommy Cooper.

This site will be about the men and women that have made me laugh over the past fifty years or so. Why? well there is nothing like a good laugh for making you feel better, and when I had this idea, I was just going to add a couple of pages to my other site, www.dragonontheweb.com .

'He had ambitions, at one time, to become a sex maniac, but he failed his practical.' Les Dawson.

 After doing a quick bit of research on Google, and http://en.wikipedia.org I realised that there was a huge range of comedians out there, and they would be worth a site all of there own.

'Hello my Darlings' Charlie Drake

Please note that this site is purely for the men and women that have made ME laugh. I have no interest at all in people that I do not find funny, and have not included them, and neither will I. There may be many funny men and women out there that I have never heard of, but for now, this will do for me.

'I want to die like my father, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming and terrified, like his passengers.' Bob Monkhouse.

As the site has progressed, others have come in that perhaps are not my personal favourites. However they are all funny, and I thought was worth a page each. Each will get his or her own page, and  as most if not all of the information will have come from web research, I will try to provide the links that the information came from on the page.

"I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over" Norman Wisdom

I have finished the site at the moment with one the rudest comedians in the UK.Why? well, he is the very opposite of the best that I have put in, but he is a 'modern' comedian, Roy 'Chubby' Brown, and this is the reason that I made this site in the first place, so that the real funny men and women do not get forgotten.

"Money couldn't buy you friends, but you get a better class of enemy." Spike Milligan.

As the site has been developing, I have added several actors and comics that are not necessarily my favourites. However they are all hugely popular, and I thought out to be put in.

Ronnie Corbett:  Do think marriage is a lottery?
Ronnie Barker:  No.  With a lottery you do have a slight chance.

I have put in most of the ones that I can remember, and will add more as time goes on. If you have any suggestions and I have forgotten them and find them funny then I will put a page in. Please contact me here. There will be a home page link on every page.

“Honolulu, it's got everything. Sand for the children, sun for the wife, sharks for the wife's mother." Ken Dodd

On the links page are a few sites that I have looked at for jokes. Some better than others, but all will give you a laugh.

I really hope that you enjoy this site. I have had a lot of fun remembering some of the past comedians, and they have given me a lot of pleasure over the years. I would like you to let me know what you think of the site, so please contact me using either of the two links above or below or 'Skpe' me.  My status
