@TheFieldOfWeed I don't know about that. I was introduced to a comedian I might not otherwise have known about, because of this discussion.

yeah but again, only richard priors films translated here! The rest i have not heard of so i dont think were any influence to British comedians.

There's nothing wrong with that. And it's probably worth mentioning. It doesn't then follow that Carlin and Pryor are over-rated. They were American comedians developing their acts for American audiences. It makes sense that people in a different culture wouldn't resonate as strongly. It might be worth considering that the kind of stage presence referred to might be over the top or boorish to British audiences. I don't know.

How do you figure? They both demonstrably influenced several generations of comedians and American Culture.
