Re: My 10 Favorite Comedians
I don't know any of them - wait, John Cleese rings a bell. They are probably US-American or British and therefore unknown in Germany. But we have Otto Walkes and Volker Pispers. And I think Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) and Austin Powers (Mike Myers) are funny.

Curly Howard
Larry Fine
Shemp Howard
Oliver Hardy
Stan Laural
Groucho Marx
Jack Benny
Jackie Gleason
Alive, only one makes my list:
Robin Williams
If I had 11, I would have added Peter Sellers. All men too I noticed, I guess I don't find women funny.
