WIN my opinion, the top 10 dead comics were infinitely funnier than their living counterparts, with the possible exceptions of Billy Connolly and Robin Williams.
Here are another 10 who could easily eclipse the living comics for humour.
1, Richard Pryor; 2, Jerry Sadowitz; 3, Alexei Sayle; 4, Jo Brand; 5, Jack Dee; 6, Steven Wright (not the radio DJ); 7, Dave Allen; 8, Paul Merton; 9, Ric Mayall; 10, Dylan Moran.
