Top Comedians of All Time
This article honors the great doses of laughter left by people who knew how to nurture the sense of humor. This article gives you the list of the top comedians of all time.
Comedy is the wick in the candle of life! This is what I feel about this great gift that God has bestowed in mankind. But sadly, a few of us know how to nurture it. And let me take the pride to mention that I am among these few people. I know it is not wise to blow one's own trumpet, but humor is that one thing which I have been able to nurture and care for, after I left the playful senses of childhood, and stepped into the alleys of teenage and adulthood. It gives me great pleasure to see the pain that I give to people around me. I am speaking about the pain that occurs in the abdomen after you have had a good laugh! I believe, every element in this Universe, whether it is physical or abstract, has been sprinkled by at least a pinch of humor by the Creator. And not all have the keen eye to watch this subtle work, but only a few, whom we consider as the top comedians of all time. These people have been gifted with just the perfect hammer and chisel with the help of which, they carve out so many things, which perhaps, we could have never imagined, to give us a gut-cracking laughter.
