Mr bean the most funniest comedian ever in the whole world.
Rowan Atkinson
Rowan Atkinson (born January 6, 1955, Newcastle upon Tyne, England) is an English actor and comedian who has delighted television and film audiences with his comic creations Mr. Bean and Edmund Blackadder.
Early life
Atkinson attended Durham Cathedral Choristers’ School. At the University of Newcastle upon Tyne he studied electrical engineering; he progressed to the University of Oxford for a master’s degree. Taking to the stage to satisfy an inner urge, he began honing the facial contortions and manic comedic genius that would soon make him famous. While attending Oxford, he began working with screenwriter Richard Curtis and composer Howard Goodall, and together they ventured to the Edinburgh Festival. There Atkinson delivered a schoolmaster sketch that rocketed him to fame and became part of his repertoire of classic skits. In 1979 the satirical television show Not the Nine O’Clock News introduced him to millions of British viewers, and in 1981 he became the youngest person at the time to have had a one-man show, called Rowan Atkinson in Revue, in London’s West End.

Blackadder and stardom
In 1983 the first installment of Blackadder, written by Atkinson and Curtis, slithered onto British TV screens. Comic actor and writer Ben Elton joined the writing team beginning with Blackadder II (1986). The show featured the twisted relationship between four incarnations of the opportunistic, spineless Edmund Blackadder and his long-suffering retainer, Baldrick, as they cajoled their way through history from the Crusades to the end of World War I. Blackadder descends in social status through the series: he is a prince in the first season, a lord in the second, a butler to the prince regent in the third, and an army captain in the fourth. Every iteration is self-serving, calculating, cynical, and dogged by bad luck. Atkinson revived the character in television specials, charity appearances, and live stage performances.
