Pre-Poll Nominations: Comedy Teams (past and present)

Title says it. At least two people, please. Up to whatever number stays together most of the time. Monty Python is an example of the latter.

A starter group:

Nichols and May
Jeeves and Wooster
Rowan and Martin
Burns and Allen
Martin and Lewis
Stiller and Meara

How quickly can we hit 100? :wink:

Bob and Ray.
Second City
The Kids in the Hall
Upright Citizens Brigade
Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner

The Smothers Brothers
The Marx Brothers
The Three Stooges

Did you really mean to include fictional characters? Or were you thinking of Fry and Laurie?

To get some of the classics down:

Laurel and Hardy
Abbott and Costello
The Marx Brothers
The Three Stooges
The Ritz Brothers

Thanks for the fix. Fry and Laurie was who I meant, but I have minimal acquaintance with them (either way). Just names I thought of – and wouldn’t vote for. Sorry!

Flanders and Swann
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

The Goons
Key & Peele
Mitchell & Webb
Bob & David (Odenkirk & Cross)

For that matter, Beyond the Fringe - Wikipedia :wink:
