Favourite stand up comedian

[dwightsteel]

No particular order however the first two and last two i was raised on.

Eddie Izzard
The men of Monty Python
Stephen Lynch
Jeff Dunham
Jeff Foxworthy
Bill Engvall

Thats funny, because it's only the middle two that I completely agree with. I never really got on board with both British and Redneck humor.

ZOMG! someone else has heard of Stephen Lynch on this forum?

My family is a bunch of Rednecks, hence redneck humor

I absolutely HATE Ron White though.

You kidding? Special Ed and the Superhero song had me rolling. And don't get me started on the Best Friend Song and If I Were Gay.

I don't like Ron White either, but mostly because he kind of reminds me of myself, not in the comedy sense, just the asshole sense, and that scares me.

 

[Actual Charlie Nash]

Jimmy Carr. Nothing can beat a bit of good old British humour

See, I don't like Jimmy Carr, I think he's too smug
Don't like Lee Evans either, I think he's a sweaty twat

well you try running around the stage a lot with the lights beaming down on you =P
anyway i like lee evans

He's doing a show out here May 1 and I can't go. but my boy is going. Well I could if his best guy friend wasn't going with him. Bloodshed will ensue if he and I are anywhere near each other.
I like the one that gets titled "Big Fat Friend" or "She gotta Smile" and i love Special Ed

Bummer. I'd kill to see him live. I really wanted to see him up on Broadway doing the Wedding Singer.

Jeff Dunham. Love his achmed skits, like jingle bombs

YESSS!!! he is pretty much the pants. my other favorites are ron white and dane cook. the whole blue collar comedy tour gang is pretty awesome. especially since im actually from the south so i cant relate to a lot of what they're saying

Dane Cook. I'm not gonna go on about the clicheness of that, mostly because I'm on probation for "flaming" people, but also because I did genuinely like the guy for a while. Then, as I listened and watched more of his stuff, the more I realized that his stuff never evolves. I can't listen to him anymore. He has played himself out in my eyes.

Janeane Garofalo
Dave Chappelle

[Roundhousekickintheface]

Dave Chappelle is easily the best

 

[G1eet]

Brian Regan anyone?

 

[throwitinthetrash]

Can I count Larry David? All his actual performances were apparently god aweful. But Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are the great.
Though, I still love Demitri Martin the best though. Love his comedy style [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraprosdokian]
