My favorite comedians,
George Carlin
Old Eddie Murphy (when he was younger he was really funny. Great impersonator. Also good at wisecracking. Delirious, Raw are his famous standups but he has some tapes/CDs of old standups he did when he used to tour.)
Chris Rock
Redd Foxx
Richard Pryor
Sinbad (I give this guy a lot of credit because he can stay on the relatively clean side and still be very funny. An underrated comedian.)
Ellen Degeneres
Bernie Mac

How about Harland Williams? IMO he's been one of the funniest comedians out there. Especially his guest appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien are always a riot.

While I am not familiar with Derek & Clive, I do love the original "Bedazzled" with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. Remember: the devil always wears red socks!

'The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse' 1968
'Tadpoles' 1969

The first three albums are incredible! Inspired British lunacy.
