I know he won't count as a comedy magician, but nobody makes me laugh more than Derren Brown in his stage shows.

Whit Hayden and Michael Finney are going to be at Kuntztown this year. I can hardly wait.

My two favorite comedy magicians are John Archer and Mel Mellers. However, gotta also add David Williamson and Chris Capehart.

At last! The brilliant John Archer gets a mention. Hallelujah!

Check out the other thread here about funny magicians that you don't hear about so often.

I saw Ferrell Dillon at the Magic Castle and laughed so hard I nearly pee'd.

Having recently read a review of my act at the International Magic Convention on MagicWeek I've decided that it must be me. Smile

Dave Merry for me. Quite the pro.
Not clever enough to come up with something orginal, or did I.

Maybe it's just me, but it always seems that magicians are the funniest in venues that serve alcohol!!

Jerry Sadowitz - offensive yes, but very clever with his comedy and a genius with a deck of cards. Incredibly funny live - for the right audience. Just a pity more TV networks won't take a risk on him.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Judy Carter. She is a hilarious magic comedienne.

I've also always distinguished between a comedian who does magic that doesn't work (e.g. Ballantine) and a magician who does comedy while at the same time fooling you badly (e.g. Tomsoni and Company; David Williamson; Fielding West). Both kinds can be immensely entertaining.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Michael Finney, Mac King and David Merry live more than once. For me, they are all really funny performers. Although I knew Michael's act from his DVD's, and I knew the lines were coming, I was still rolling with laughter simply because his delivery is so good. He really understands the secret of telling the same old joke as if he is telling it for the first time. Mac and David also know this secret!
Watching Jeff Hobson perform his act is a real laugh as well. Again, I have seen him on DVD's many times, but nothing was lost when I watched him do the same act live - he still had me laughing. Why? for the same reason as the other three above do, it's a delivery thing...
It is impossible to say who is actually the funniest magician around. I have seen lots of 'local' guys really slay an audience.
