Observer's 50 funniest

In December 2003 The Observer newspaper printed its list of the 50 people it considered funniest and/or most influential in British comedy.

Notes

• The number of articles in the list is more than 50 because some individuals were named as part of a group or duo (eg Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer were named as one entry in the original Observer article but both individual's articles within Wikipedia have been added to the list.)
• The League of Gentlemen and 3 Non-Blondes were the only groups of performers named as opposed to individuals.
