I suggest looking at one of the playlist compilations, for example:
Rowan Atkinson Live
 
"Will this wind...?" - one of my favorite Rowan Atkinson bits, with Peter Cook -
This was a sketch in "The Secret Policeman's Ball", a benefit for Amnesty International.

And another from the same performance - "Interesting Facts" --

With Peter Cook and John Cleese. Included in the latter is the fact that "the whale is not a fish -- it's an insect. And it lives on bananas."
 
I couldn't watch this one without laughing out loud. Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese, "Bee Keeping."
