I love comedians from the UK. Guys like Billy Connolly, Frankie Boyle, and Russell Howard. Watch a series called Mock the Week on YouTube if you're into politics and comedy. It's like a mixture of the Daily Show and Whose Line is it Anyway,and it kills me every time.

Jimmy Pardo is king of crowd work, end of discussion. His podcast Never Not Funny is also hilarious.

Christopher Titus: Being Dysfunctional never felt so right.

Mike Birbiglia: Being awkward has never been funnier.

Louis C.K. Saw him live and he tore the place down.

Dennis Leary: A-S-S-H-O-L-E

But my Number one is Zach Galifinakis. Abdolutely hysterical.

I rather enjoy Christopher Titus

 

[TheIceface]

Chris rock, Dennis Leary, George Carlin, and probably Jerry Seinfeld, have to be my picks.

This has been done before (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.73917.814950), and recently enough to still show up on the search engine!

Well, I'll name mine:

Victor Borge


That is the all, and in the future, use the forum search feature or you'll get your threads locked.

Louis CK is great. My favourite comedian of all time is Helge Schneider. He´s also a kickass jazz musician, playing the piano and the trumpet at the same time during his shows, stuff like that.

The guys that play Vince Noar and Howard Moon on the mighty boosh. Also ron white and the redneck guy get honorable mentions from me.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Demitri Martin.

Mos def. Demetri is an hilarious, intelligent comedian.

Oh, and I'm super stoked that I get to see Jon Lajoie this Wednesday night.

I'm pretty sure I already posted on a thread like this, nevermind.

Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran, Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle.

They're just a few.

I don't think Flight of the Conchords counts.
