Cancerians rule comedy-land

A British survey has found Cancerians are the funniest star sign.

A study of more than 300 British comic actors and performers revealed the greatest proportion of them were born under Cancer.

Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay were both born between June 23 and July 23.

Jennifer Saunders, Richard Wilson, Meera Syal and Neil Morrissey also share the zodiac sign. The survey showed 11 per cent of Britain's favourite funny men and women were Cancerians. They were closely followed by Virgoans, who include Stephen Fry.

Leos were the least funny.
