You didn't pronounce that right. It's Theatre!

Rumpole. Monty Python's Flying Circus. Bennie Hill. Faulty Towers.

Douglas Adams.

Oscar Wilde. Oh where are you, when we need your biting wit more than ever?

too true! I loved the Importance of Being Earnest.

About a woman recently widowed:

"Her hair has gone quite gold from grief."

Peter Cook.

But then I'm a Brit, so I don't know if my vote counts

I'll back that one up Prof.

Was Oscar Wilde a Brit though?

Well, he was from the British Isles.
We have quite an elastic definition. As you can tell from the accents of the people who play sport for us...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think he may have had dual nationality. He was from an Anglo-Irish family (Dublin born). I don't know enough about the path to irish independence. Cause Dublin was part of Britain prior to that I think.

do you Brits claim Jonathan Swift? Or is 'eee too Eyerish for ye?

I think we lay claim to Swift.

I like to think Stephen Colbert is our Jonathan Swift and Jon Stewart our own Alexander Pope. :D

Gilbert. Sullivan.

Wrapped a community-theater production of The Gondoliers a couple weeks back.
