Steve Martin. The Jerk, Roxanne and The Man With Two Brains.

Gene Wilder. Stir Crazy, See No Evil Hear No Evil.


Kenneth Williams. His performances in the Carry On films are hilarious.

Dan Ackroyd. I like his fast talking style and quick wit. Trading Places.

Chevy Chase. I remember watching those Vacation films when I was a boy and he had me in stitches.

Ironically, most of the one's who make me laugh til I cry, are not comedians, just entertainers in general. They vary from TV to radio. They're usually very good at talking.

I'm with you. I would add Jackie Mason to the list also. The older comedians were funny without being vulgar. Jackie Mason said "when a comedian gets into vulgarity it means they don't have anymore good material." Oh yeah Jeff Foxworthy too. I saw Bill Coby live years ago at the old madison Square garden. he was hilarious and clean. My side hurt from laughing.
