Comeddy watching is a past time of mine to take my mind away. One of the positive memories I did have of boarding school was the story telling we did between us all to make each other laugh.

I have a list as long as my arm of comedians I love hearing their stories from. However other than the "current" mainstream there are some good clean stories from the past that I do enjoy watching on youtube, alot were the stories comedians shared on talks shows, clean fun that was interesting as well as funny.

I will post a few of my favourites and please join in with yours.

My first is about Bill Cosby when he was younger and started learning the drums. These are traditional funny story tellers with no need of obscenities or smut to make them funny.

Purplefan I never got emo, I was suprised hes still going. Billy on the other hand, your looking at a megafan here who has seen him live 3 times!

Matt:- no worries, Whoseline I have been a fan of for so long especially the partnership of Ryan and Colin on the show. It has faded abit with the new version with the female host and special guests just makes it to cheesy and you can see it in the performers eyes that its jsut not the same. It did take me some time to get used to drew on teh first American version but he did grow on me alot and sadly that has disapeared, likewise I have been watching it since the begining where Clive Anderson was host and they had performers in the early days like peter Cook, Stephen Fry, Mike Mcshane, Josie Lawence etc.

Heres a duet with Miek and Josie from the early days. An improvised love song about a cat litter tray.

I love the Ricky Gervais show, and miss it now it's not on late night. It's great because you could both watch it, for the funny animations, and listen to it like a radio show (I think they were all pod casts originally) if you were drifting off to sleep.

But if you're talking good stories, my absolute favourite modern comedy show is Rhod Gilbert's The Award Winning Mince Pie, which is just a brilliant tale of one man's breakdown on a motorway service station.

I had no idea i though it was an American idea. But i used to listen to the News Quiz on Radio 4 and old radio shows like round the horn.
I think clive Anderson is brilliant. I always though he should have been the host of H.I.G.N.F.Y

It was only one series before Channel 4 bought the rights took it to TV and did 10 series before it went accross the pond. If you search youtube, the 6 radio episodes are their in 3 parts each.
