Evelyn Waugh falls into the category, and Wodehouse, of course.
Sue Townsend and Douglas Adams, when I was young, and Tom Sharpe, whose books seemed almost subversive. Through my own years of reading I can think of very few novelists who have done it for me. If you don't believe me, try a Google search for 'best humorous novels'. Television is stacked with stand-up, sitcoms and romantic comedies.
Compare and contrast the average daily television schedule with those fiction shelves.
If writing funny was easy, there would be far more comic novels on the shelves of your local book shop than there are.
