And I would like to suggest a female author - Georgette Heyer.  Her 
Regency romances (particularly those from the later part of her career) 
have embarrassed me on numerous occasions by causing long-term 
uncontrollable laughter, most memorably in a railway carriage.

And if we're going back in time, the Berry novels of Dornford Yates are 
very enjoyable for those who appreciate the intricacies of language. 
Don't bother with the detective ones, which aren't (intentionally) 
funny.
