No argument there, although I also enjoy Jon Stewart and the Marx Brothers.

Mitch Hedberg, definitely.

Did somebody say Lenny Bruce yet?

 

[Brad Shepard]

Gabriel Inglesias, hes really funny and hes really nice to his fans

 

[Croaker42]

Denis Leary

You mean the dude that has been ripping off Bill Hicks act for quite sometime now?

On that...... I love Bill Hicks.
I have his Oxford show on CD.

EDIT: Oh and yes easily half of Learys' material is riped right out of the Hicks library.

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

Andy Dick

In all seriousness thought I am a huge fan of Jimmy Carr.

[DanielPowell33]

I know hes not a "comedian", but Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is pretty funny.

But my favorite comedian is Doug Benson.

 

[Mr Companion]

Eddie Izzard. He made me laugh for over a minite about a Greek hoplite based mime. I kid you not.

 

[Carlston]

Bill Hicks.
Just cause cancer killed him in the 90's he was still one of the all time best.

 

[CuddlyCombine]

Bill Hicks. Mitch Hedberg. That is all.

 

[Soushi]

First of all his name is Lewis Black

Second of all, how many goddamn threads are you going to make before your hunger for attention is satiated?

goodness man. I was bored and had a lot of things on my mind, it happens after ten days of nothing but essays and work. If you don;t like my threads THEN STOP CLICKING ON THEM, it is easy, take you finger off the button!!! And stop whining, jeez, some people on this internet.

I love that old cop out argument "if you don't like it, just don't click MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

If we followed THAT way of thinking, this forum would be nothing but a sea of useless topics that get a few responses, then got pushed back to page 5 within an hour to make room for the NEXT batch of shitty topics.

It doesn't work that way. You are just posting whatever inane unabashed idiocy that enters your head. You stink and I'm going to let you know it.

ummm... okay, Go ahead. Its not like anybody really cares. Besides,if people didn't say any of teh unabashed idiocy that entered their head, you woudn't have started this conversation in teh first place.

You're the one who started this thread, shitdick. I wouldn't have to be talking down to you if you didn't post this. And for the record, I don't care if no one else but me cares. I don't care if everyone in this thread takes your side. Why? Because I don't care if they're in their car later and their last thought is "Oh no, a pole!".

The simple truth is you just want to increase your post count or maybe your trying to earn one of those worthless badges. Either way, there is no purpose to the majority of your threads. They're ALL about you, but you go ahead and put " so what is your thoughts" or " has something like this happened to you guys" and the END of your threads just so it doesn't reveal how self-centered you are.

okay...still not caring, and my earlier point is still being proven. But okay, i will indulge you. Oh course the forums posts i make are about situations i have been in, otherwise i wouldn't have much to say, would I. They are not situations that apply only to me, thus why people are posting in them. If i made up a forum about how i think i am the master of the universe, your point would have some merit, but since i haven;t made that forum... yet, your point is moot. But, just in case, I invite you to talk about something that has nothing to do with me or any situation that applies to me. How do you feel about.... the beautiful palm trees in the oasis in the middle of the desert Sahara, and should we allow camels to drnk from it? there, nothing to do with me, go nuts.

oh and i do care about whether or not your last thought in your car is "oh no a pole". i would much rather you think, "Oh dear, I'm going to hit a pole, i wonder if talking with the Soushi guy who has magical powers to manipulate the course cars take, was a good and full use of my time"

Paul Merton - One of the sharpest wits in the west.

Agreed.

At the moment I'm watching Ross Noble's new DVD. There is no other word for his shows than random, but I think some of the stuff he comes out with is bloody funny.

Another comedian I like at the moment is Jack Dee, I don't think grumpiness has ever been as funny

 

[Arkhangelsk]

What about Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran?

 

[elbowlick]

Oh, forgot, Jim Gaffigan - hilarious observational humor, leather pants, depends on your kick.
Gabriel Inglesias(sp?) - Comedian/impressionist, high energy very funny, leather pants wouldn't fit

These, especially Jim Gaffigan. Beyond the Pale is my favorite special, it's hysterical yet suprisingly clean (he says "pay for sex" once).
Russell Peters as long as his material is new, because his stuff gets stale pretty quickly
I haven't seen John Pinette in so long...I kind of miss him.
There was this Australian comedian, but I don't remember her name.
Edit: It was Judith Lucy
and I forgot about Ron White.
And Groucho Marx. I like how barrages you with jokes so you can't hear a few them over your own laughter.

 

[Caradinist]

Nobody mentioned Louis C.K? Ah well, he can be a bit of a shock value type on SOME of his older routines, but i found his specials to be a riot. Anybody mentioned Bill Burr?

Aside from that, i found George Carlin to be one of the best comedians of our time, even if he's dead now.

 

[Apache2142]

Pretty much the cast of Mock The Week with Omid D'jalli (spelling may be wrong) but yeah they're awesome!

Sadly women never seem to get a laugh outta me...they come out with obvious comedy which everyone can make up im sure.

 

[Acier]

Only one other person likes Eddie Izzard? Seriously? Everyone should be ashamed.

I've also always been partial to Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter as well

 

[Sandwich Man]

Edd

Only one other person likes Eddie Izzard? Seriously? Everyone should be ashamed.

Make that three.

Eddie Izzard.

Jack Dee.

Julian Barratt.

Frankie Boyle.

Ardal O'Hanlon.

Lenny Henry.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Actually I'm not sure if they do stand up, but they're awesome so there.

 

[Guestowel]

Bill Hicks was my favorite. I don't really like stand up comedy though
