What is the funniest show you've ever seen?

Posted: 8/7/05 at 12:22pm

Just wondering which show everyone thought was the funniest (in terms of being intentionally funny!). I'm personally leaning towards Avenue Q, but I won't see Spamalot until next month so I should probably hold off.

I'm not a laugh-out-loud type of person, but Avenue Q had several moments that had me doing so.

But I think Forum still holds that title with me. There's a reason it's been revived so many times.

Broadway--"noises off" comes to mind.

Off-B--without question, the old "Theatre of the Ridiculous" gang. I laughed until I cried so many times. God, I miss them.

I nearly pissed myself the first time I saw Spelling Bee.

And the lyrics for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels have to be some of the funniest I have ever heard.

i almost fell out of my seat during Q, but i thought DRS was the funniest (although, i have yet to see spamalot, and that is SO my kind of humor, so we'll see....)

3 come to mind -- shows that were so funny I wished they would stop and give us a rest :
- Kathy and Mo
- Dame Edna (not the current show - the previous one)
- Lettice and Loveage
