Tough choice because I'd have said either Dave Allen or George Carlin. I'll go with Allen because Carlin made you think and laugh but Allen was just a great comedian and raconteur and nobody made me laugh quite as boisterously.
Yep. Bill Hicks is another Angel. Completely differently I must admit to having a few belly laughs at some of the bawdy black American comedians from Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy when he was young through to Chris Rock.
Maybe that's why I call so many people motherfrucker even though I'm from Manchester originally. I even have a tendency to talk like an old Harlem pimp especially when I've had a drink. What a disgrace. 
Comic actor...steve coogan
Comic genius...peter cook
Stand up...jack dee

you ask americans you'll get one list, you ask brits you'll get another, reckon only one man would be in the top 3 or so of both lists, bill hicks

Richard Herring - one of the leading hidden masters of modern British comedy.

If it doesn't have to be a standup then there is only one for me - Ronnie Barker
Emo Phillips is a very good call, and a bit different to most of the names mentioned
