British Comedy Guide

Any comedians like Woody Allen? Page 2

There are too many is the answer. Larry David is a mere toned down, more relaxed copy. One of the many who have simply tried to be like him, or put another way, stolen his act.

Don't know about genuine Allen like comedians but I'll name you two comedy actors as genuine as they come, who play neurosis just as well and are even better actors - P Sellers, L Rossiter.

Anyone catch Simon Amstell's awful Woody Allen imitation on BBC2?

Living proof that not everyone neurotic and Jewish is funny.

He didn't remind me of Woody in the slightest. And I found him very funny.

What a strange remark, there's plenty of neurotic Jewish comics
