Default Most Important British Comedy Records Ever
I would think that the most important British comedy records ever would be the George Martin produced Peter Sellers records. Evidently the reason The Beatles were so co-operative with and impressed by George Martin was that he had worked with Peter Sellers. Evidently they were big fans of these records. It goes without saying that the relationship that developed between Martin and The Beatles was quite productive.

Most of the songs written and performed by the late Jake Thackray.

Another of my favorites was Peter Sellers singing "Hard Days Night" in the style of Richard 111.

Benny Hill had a a big hit with Ernie and Charlie Drake's "My Boomerang Won't Come Back"was popular in its day.

My favourites include THE HARRY LIME THEME by Kevin Neil and Peter Sellers' A DROP OF THE HARD STUFF and his George Formby tournament ( can't recall the title).

Radio One [forget the DJ's name] used to have a 'Fun at One' slot. Lots of old stuff used to be played, especially Bob Newhart, but one of my most favourite was 'The Moose' by Woody Allen.

I dont recall much George Carlin or Lenny Bruce being played though
'Dying a'int much of a living, boy'
Outlaw Josey Wales

I love Jess Conrad - he's like the Brit version of George Hamilton and he doesn't take himself seriously.
Incidentally, another one of his 'hits' was Mystery Girl which was written by Trevor Peacock who also wrote Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter.

Bernard Cribbens' "Right Said Dred" "Digging A Hole" and "Gossip Calypso" are all great records.

I used to like most of what the Goons did but the version of Unchained Melody that they managed to ruin in the greatest possible way must be an all time classic
I know Jimmy Young would avoid playing it when he was doing his radio show (or the BBC wouldn't let him)

Benny Hill's "Harvest of Love" would be one of my Desert Island Discs. And let's not forget The Barron Knights
