I can't really say that I have a particular favourite comedian. the nearest i could come is to say "the Pommy (English to you Yanks :smile
comedians. Some are great for a while but wear very thin in the end when they start to run out of material.
Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) Billy Connolly, John Cleese and a dozen others spring to mind.
I always remember filling in time between flights in Singapore airport at about 0200 one morning and coming across a crowd of people watching Mr. Bean in his Swimming Pool skit. They were of every nationality and skin colour known to man, and here they were, all standing there laughing and snorting so hard the tears were streaming down their cheeks.

The Goon Show during the 1960's with Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine was absolutely brilliant.
Two of Spike Milligans quotes stick in my mind:-
(1) I want "I told you I wasn't well," on my headstone.
(2) When referring to a prostitute in Italy during WW2 he said, "I knew she loved me, she only charged me half price."

Hehe I loved Spike Milligans war memoirs, Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall and Monty: His Part in My Victory were brilliant, I have been tempted to buy the audio books narrated by Milligan...
One is on Youtube...

I laughed out loud at the beverage center, the flame kissed and the "pinch" of salt.

Yes,Joan Rivers was one of the best stand up comedians. I found a classic clip from 1967 of her on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Joan Rivers June 8, 1933 - September 4, 2014
May she rest in laughter and peace.
She made us laugh at the unfair truths in our world.
