The Norman Wisdom-esque comic best known for his boundless energy, sweaty brow and stand-up routines so manic and physical that his suits last barely a couple of gigs. His performance DVD, XL was one the fastest selling comedy performances ever.

Lenny Bruce
Fast living, foul-mouthed hipster saint of the comedy world, free-speaking Bruce became the bete noir of the American establishment in the 1960s. Arrested numerous times on obscenity charges, he had an act that at the time was considered so profane, he was even jailed for it. This First Amendment martyr and persecuted iconoclast inspired a whole legion of later comedians.
