Lewis Black.

Sadly the last time I heard he had retired from comedy to return to his roots of play writing.

 

[DanielDeFig]

I'm not much into stand-up comedians, but Eddie Izzard is HILARIOUS.

 

[Samechiel]

George Carlin
Lewis Black
Patton Oswalt

Pretty much everyone else mentioned in this thread is "meh" tier, but tolerable.

and Jeff Dunham

I threw up in my mouth a little. Jeff Dunham is the cancer slowly killing comedy.

 

[DarksideFlame]

Guess the top three would be:

1. Michael McIntyre
2. Jimmy Carr
3. Jason Manford

Honorable mention:

Patrick Kielty

I am not such a big fan of stand up comedians but some of them are alright I guess.

Found this guy a few days ago on Youtube and I found him pretty funny.

So who is your favorite comedian?

Steve Hughes is really good, I'm also a huge fan of Jim Gaffigan and The Hollow Men.

Jimmy Carr and Lenny Henry
I once saw Lenny Henry on the motorway... and he looked at me! It was pretty cool...

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Frankie Boyle.

Michael Mcintyre can fuck off and die a painful horrible slow death.

[Horseradish_5000]

Stewart Lee is made of nine kinds of awesome, I have never seen a better stand-up.

The Comedian

*Ba-dum tish*

I kind of like Philippe Geubels and Alex Agnew.
And no, you probably don't know either of them...

David Mitchell. Funny man, funny, funny man.

 

[Lionsfan]

Got a few: Russell Peters, Eddie Murphy (his old stuff), Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Denis Leary. I like quite a few more too but I can't think of anybody
