Was lucky enough to see Billy Conolly before he gave up stand up. I cried at the end as I knew it was possibly his last tour.

“I think me and you blacked out after that last jagerbomb”

I love the bit where he says something like:

“They don’t speak the language. Well guess who does - your next door neighbour, and you’ve not spoken to him in eight years. You avoid eye contact when you put out the trash”

Just because I laughed from start to finish and he never told a blue joke - Ken Dodd. Amazing show and a true gent.

Lately though Jimmy Carr's video clips have been getting me through life. His FB page is full of pure filth. Again a great guy in real life.

Others include Stewart Francis, Jenny Eclair, Sarah Milligan and Rhod Gilbert.
