My vote goes to Derek and Clive Live. Always loved Pete’n Dud as I was growing up but this was pure drunken genius. An old work colleague of mine used to swear constantly. I had the tape going in the draw of my desk when he walked in and he was convinced I had taped him. It would have been in This Bloke Came Up To Me. Still creases me up today. ## Opps, can someone amend my typo in the header please? Cunt. ---

I’m a big fan of the original Knowing Me, Knowing You radio shows. Better than the TV show I reckon. Lord Morgan of Glossop. [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nr-EXbBJbU) ---

Not a comedy moment as such; but Brian Johnston corpsing live on Test Match Special always makes me chuckle.

I’m not sure why, i think it was because the opening post at the tone, but i was only thinking of audio recordings rather than film. My earlier answer is based on audio recording only, as the thread was i intended. I have respect for the OP ---

In terms of recordings, as in sound only, I’d have to go along with Sadoldgit’s view. The original Derek and Clive Live must be one of the funniest things there is. Crude, puerile and utterly brilliant.
