Stand-Up Comedians?

[superdelux]

I enjoy stand-up very much and I was wondering if can somebody recommend me some funny stand up comedians.

Thank you in advance.

Russell Howard is hilarious


As is Dara O'Briain.


Very relevant, very funny.

 

[Imthatguy]

Bill Hicks nuff said.

 

[Hazy992]

Daniel Tosh

OT: Some of my favourites are Frankie Boyle, Chris Rock, Dara O'Briain, Russell Howard and Lee Evans. Oh and I love the one-liner stuff of Milton Jones and Stewart Francis.

Bill Hicks = legend

not for everyone but Michael Mcintyre is pretty funny
Peter Kay - is fucking hilarious though if you aint british some of the humour is lost
Bill Bailey - my fave, though his recent shows have been a let down, he does kinda surreal stuff
Frankey Boyle - not if youre easily offended, basically shock comedy
Omid Djalili - you'll know him straight away, been in heaps of films, Gladiator, The Mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, also does quite a funny show - Iran's only stand up comic ^^

 

[CODE-D]

Im a stand up comic but I always sit and slouch and I got my girlfiend pregnant on my sterile uncles pull out couch.

-Bo Burnham

Also Patton Oswalt.

 

[ChildishLegacy]

Stewart. Lee.
I don't know why he's funny, it's hard to put a finger on it, but he IS so funny.

Mitch Hedberg. Is he well known? Because anytime I mention him, people are either "who's he?" or "yeah, yeah, everyone knows Mitch Hedberg." So I guess he's famous in standup circles?

Important thing is he's very funny

Omid Djalili - you'll know him straight away, been in heaps of films, Gladiator, The Mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, also does quite a funny show - Iran's only stand up comic ^^

He was Yusuf Amir as well in Ballad of Gay Tony. Best character in GTA

Also Shappi Khorsandi is Iranian too.

[Easton Dark]

The Amazing Johnathon

His special is my most favorite comedy special of all time.

India... land of the buck-toothed snake.

It really depends on your tastes.

Some of my favorites:

* Lewis Black - Famous for his "angry" and cynical style, tears the crap out of both sides of politics, consumerism, religion, etc. If you hold anything sacred, he'll probably offend you.

* Louis C. K. - Not bad, but not the best. Less political than Lewis Black, more vulgar.

* Bill Hicks (RIP) - Already mentioned. Like Lewis Black, but more cerebral and idealistic.

* Eddie Izzard - Same sort as Bill Hicks, but British and dressed as a woman. Also has a lot of geek appeal (Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR references).

* George Carlin (RIP) - If you need to know who this guy is, just give up.

The Amazing Johnathon

His special is my most favorite comedy special of all time.

India... land of the buck-toothed snake.

I've never seen a comedian that can make flipping the bird funnier than The Amazing Johnathon can.

 

[Akimoto]

Jeff Dunham ain't too bad, although the only two of his puppets Walter and Peanut are worth the time.

Jeff Dunham ain't too bad, although the only two of his puppets Walter and Peanut are worth the time.

He was pretty good 20 years ago. Now it's just the same old schlock with a bunch of unfunny racist crap for spice.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I like Gabriel Igalsias, Simon King, and David Huntsberger the most.

Other than that?

Jeff Dunham, George Carlin, and Jim Gaffigan.

 

[Ignignokt]

I like John Mulaney, Maria Bamford, Jim Gaffigan, and Patton Oswalt right now.

 

[frizzlebyte]

I think Brian Regan is awesome. He makes being funny and clean look easy. Really easy.

 

[Fat4all]

My current favorites are:

Bo Burnham
Daniel Tosh
Patton Oswalt
Brian Posehn
Doug Stanhope
Louis C.K.
Mitch Hedburg
Mike Birbiglia
Ricky Gervais

I've seen Posehn and Stanhope live, amazing shows. I'll finally be going to a Louis C.K. show coming up as well, can't wait!
