I noticed that the "fuckeristick" link leads to the Comedian page. They are not one and the same. Somebody smarter than I should think about doing a Humorist page.

I tryed to put in a bit about famous comedy places, links between comics and illness and examples of when comedians have got it wrong. fell free to edit this. --Duey Finster (Too lazy to login, signed as 00:35, 18 December 2005 (UTC) )'

[edit] other meanings

I have heard the term "comedian" used in the sense of "humorous writer," as in "Aristophanes was an ancient Greek comedian." Fishal 18:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geographic bias

Is there a reason most of the examples are comics from the UK? Aside from the laundry list, there are no North American comics?

Laundry list? plus British comics are generally more funny than american comics. Matt lucas, Vic Reeves, Eric Idle, John cleese etc. I don't see many if any UK comics in the longer lists, I mean who finds Tim Allen funny lol?
