Do you like British comedy? If yes, what are some of your favourite shows ?

I don't know, I'm assuming I might not at least not as much as American comedy. But, I do remember laughing hysterically at a movie called Bad Taste over 20 years ago.

Old but gold is the Catherine Tate show. I like Little Britain, come fly with me ( same duo), monty python of course, black adder, fawlty towers, the green wing ( hospital comedy from a few years back), soooooo many comedians. Michael macIntyre, and the tall dude whatshisname...... And shows like eight out of ten cats.

Of course

Red Dwarf, Porridge, The Office, Would I Lie To You, Bottom, The Young Ones amongst many others

I've seen some Monty Python stuff, it was okay. There's also a few clips of Matt Berry I've seen on the Internet which were pretty good. Maybe an episode or two of 'Red Dwarf'? I'm not terribly familiar but what I've seen has been alright.

GoggleBox ;) ..though it isn't comedy it does have that air of involuntary fun by unfiltered spontaneous comments comedians also try to convey.

Absolutely, tough I don't watch full shows usually.

Limmy's Show, a few classic Monty Python skits come to mind.
Maybe even some (un)intentionally funny segments from the Ricky Gervais Show involving Karl.

Talking internet, ashens is also pretty good, tough the BBC and feature length stuff holds up better than reviewing tat.
TomSka technically counts too I guess, he was on Comedy Central once, but his schtick has fallen off the wayside for me.
