Don't listen to him. He's in a bad mood.

The top 5 comedic plays, for me, are

Les Mis (VERY FUNNY)
Fiddler On The Roof (Hillarious)
Spring Awakening ( Funny!)
Light In The Piazza (COMEDY GOLD!)
RENT (The funniest show ever)

Remember, those are plays, not musicals. Those are IMO the funniest plays to ever hit broadway. Make sure you write that down.

The best 10 plays, IMO. Remember, to write this down because it's probally the only serious response you'll get.

10. My Left Foot
9. My Name Is Adolf
8. Cats Don't Moo
7. Anal Retentive Hobo
6. Rosanne SINGS
5. Buttscratcher
4. Fred's Got Slacks
3. Uncle F*CKer
2. The Love Guru
1. My Balls And Her Melons
Those are my top 10 PLAYS. All were broadway smashes!

Make sure you write that down.

I don't know if I could name the best 5 comedy's but here are some of my favorate ones;
Noises-Off
Importance of Being Ernest
The current revival of Boeing-Boeing
39 Steps
Lend me a Tenor

I really like farce.

Noises Off is definitely the funniest show I've ever seen. I think Auntie Mame and Arsenic & Old Lace are also very funny.

I'd love to see any of the above revived. The recent revival of Noises Off was hysterical.
