everyone knows him. Not too sure what everyone thinks…. But, Woody Allen regarding stand up, was the Bill HIcks of his generation and somewhere between Spike Milligan. However, eliminating F’s from comedians work leaves very little available. And the rule is if it has one [except for Mr Connolly who can get away with it...] it’s not happening. Anyhow, for those who know him – enjoy; for those who don’t enjoy

it’s monday. it should be a happy one. If it is this *may* make you happier But – for those of us who love comedy… the serious buffs – this guy is possibly steeped in controversy. Possibly. Bill Hicks biographers [i've read 'em all] say – and it’s true – that when at the Montreal Festival Leary stole in full Hicks entire act…. ?! But Dennis got great acclaim for the material. Other controversy… probably one of the hardest comedians to find non-offensive -yet funny- material on – which made my job once again very difficult.

That said – he is a funny guy – and for the MTV generation this one is a real contender for a reeling in the years funniest nomination. Love him or loathe him – he’s now one of the greats. Enjoy

Bill Hicks. enough said. If you know his material – you know how funny he really is. My problem with Cheer me up Monday is finding material without the f word. Anyhow this Hicks at his best in my opinion – or – at the best tha I could find. Brilliant. Genius.

It’s Monday – you need a little cheering up – you’re at the right place.

The next comedy great is Spike Milligan. Legend. I could literally watch this guy for era’s. And when you are as good as Spike was, you don’t need time to prove what a genius you are…

it is difficult to squeeze all of my -all time greats – favourite comedians into just 10 – but, there is no getting away from the fact that this legend is deserved of a place in the *oldie #* hall of fame – ladies and gentlemen – it may well be Monday but this should make you smile – if it doesn’t may I suggest a labotomy If you don’t have time to smile in life… may I suggest a large calculator. In the meantime Tommy Cooper, enjoy:)

and so heralds the return of cheer me up Monday – as was announced on Friday and to comedian legend of the comedy greats category number 2. It’s the usual-ish but it really is to this day absolutely amazing to watch – I love it… don’t forget to laugh…. Ladys and Gentleman, introducing Andy Kaufmann at his best [ps incase you didn't realise this is a live skit unknown to all of the others]
