How could I have forgotten Dame Edna?
My dad got dragged on stage as the "senior citizen," and had him dress up like the Queen Mum. To this day, my dad calls that his Broadway debut. I still have the Polaroid of my dad and Dame Edna from that night, but unfortunately, Polaroids don't seem to hold up well over time.
I enjoyed her recent show, but not as much, because it was just more of the same.

Oh God, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, by far! The Producers was hilarious too.

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

Q , Rent (only during the funny parts though!), and hopefully Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I remember laughing out loud at many Broadway productions like "Lend Me A Tenor", "Noises Off", "Rumors" and "Lettice & Lovage" but I would have to say that biggest laughs came when I saw "The Foreigner" Off-Broadway back in 1985.

Never laughed at Producers. No. No. No. Sorry. But Urinetown was very funny. Close second: Noises Off.

I saw an original musical at Brown University many years ago called "Emma" based on the novel but updated, which had a song in it called, "Hey!" which was the funniest moment I ever had in the theater. Even in Avenue Q, which was genius...I didn't laugh as much as I had when I heard that song from Emma.

Also, "A Little Priest" from Sweeney. When I saw it with Hearn and Lansbury at the Kennedy Center way back when, it took them over 10 minutes to get through the number. They had to keep stopping because of all the howls of laughter coming from the audience.

The Constant Wife by Somerset Maugham
Wonder of the World by David Lindsay-Abaire
Any of Oscar Wilde's comedies
As You Like It by Shakespeare
Nosies Off by Michael Frayn
The Foreigner by Larry Shue
Forbidden Broadway
Avenue Q
"A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd
A great question would be "What was the most UNINTENTIONALLY funny show you've ever seen?"

The Producers.
Avenue Q, Hairspray, Spamalot, DRS, Rocky Horror, and of course Forbidden Broadway all deserve mention, but the "Springtime For
Hitler" scene alone does it for The Producers.

I actually saw Anything Goes two days ago, and it was the funniest show I've ever seen. It was a local production done by teenagers, but it was incredible. Very funny.

Spelling Bee all the way. If you would have asked me a year ago, I would have said Avenue Q (with John Tartaglia).
