sean kennedy

I have removed Sean Kennedy from the list, as following the link reveals a lot of detail about the guy but doesn't mention he is a comedian. If he is, please edit the bloke's page and then reinsert his name here. If a different Sean Kennedy is a comedian then please sort out the disambiguation. --JimmyTheWig 15:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't it make more sense just to use Category pages for this kind of thing? FunnyYetTasty 23:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be in alphabetical order by surname? And, if this is by country of origin then Eddie Izzard should be under Yemen, not UK... Huseyx2 22:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorted :) Grungedude22 (talk) 18:57, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this is just about the dumbest article i've ever stumbled upon...

One, this article is enormously long... two, and most importantly, the majority of listed comics have no article of their own. This article has no merit... I move for complete deletion. - tbone (talk) 08:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remain civil please. You opened up a WP:AFD and that is good enough - there is no sense in being belligerent about it. Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 09:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I recognize that I have a belligerent tone, but that's just the way I like to comment on articles. No offense intended... - tbone (talk) 18:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually this list was incredibly useful when it came to compiling the stand up comedy site called livecomedyvideos.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.83.223 (talk) 11:33, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ingo Appelt link is wrong

The link to the article of the german comedian "Ingo Appelt" is not right. He is not a bobsledder. The right link would be http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingo_Appelt . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.182.0.66 (talk) 06:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scotland and UK?

There's a UK section and a separate Scotland section! Are we going to integrate the Scotland into UK, or should we make Wales, England and N. Ireland separate sections? Kjhf (talk) 12:53, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comediennes?

No list of women in comedy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:38, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
