Yes. Yes it is.
You should also get some CDs of BBC radio comedy. For starters, I recommend The Cowards, Bleak Expectations, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, Just a Minute, Vent, That Mitchell and Webb Sound, Goodness Gracious Me, The Mary Whitehouse Experience...

Anyone got any other suggestions?

EDIT: Hell, even Little Britain was funny when it was on the radio.

They play a number of the old BBC radio shows on the VT public radio station on the seekend.
A friend has been trying to get me to listen to them. I should give it a try.

Oooh - yeah. Jam was ace.
One of those rare instances in which the transfer to TV didn't mean a diminution of quality.

It was Blue Jam on the radio wasn't it?
Also, Lee and Herrings Fist of Fun, if you can get it.
