Well, you can never really go wrong with British comics.

Dylan Moran would have to be my favourite, followed by Bill Bailey. Those two cracketh me up.

 

[King of Asgaard]

The best off the top of my head would have to be Dara O'Briain, Michael McIntyre, the late George Carlin, Rowan Atkinson, Phil Jupitus, and quite a few people who have been on QI and mock the week.

Dave Gorman's great. Although he's not done much in the stand up arena, what he has done is fantastic.

 

[Mouse One]

Bill Hicks = legend

Rest in peace, Bill. Just discovered him a few months back. Cancer blows.

Still living comedians? Eddie Izzard FTW. "Cake or death?"

 

[Rickolas Walrus]

Patton Oswald for sure. Another funny guy is Ryan Stout saw him and a few others live a couple months ago and he was hands down the funniest comic at the show

Spoiler

 

[Frostbite3789]

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Christian Finnegan. The guy has an entire joke about how he loves video games.

Gloria, hallelujah, and excelsis deo.

Dylan Moran

Brian Regan

Steve Hughes

There are way more but these 3 are all amazing.

The late, great Patrice O'Neal.

Until his death this past November, he was the funniest living comic, hands down.


Here's some O'Neal on Tough Crowd

I have to third the late, great Mitch Hedberg. He is quite entertaining. Here is a collection of jokes, to give you an idea of his humor style.

 

[Curtisin]

Denis Leary and Christopher Titus seem to be missing off everyone's list. I am disappoint.

 

[Sacman]

I like Jim Jefferies...<.<

 

[Vausch]

Christopher Titus
Denis Leary
Gabriel Iglecias
Jim Gaffigan
Lewis Black
George Carlin

Mitch Hedberg
Ralphie May (definitely not for those that enjoy the clean comedian)
Bill Maher is good for political humour
Dave Chappelle
Patton Oswalt

You're awesome not just for having a list that long, but for putting Titus at the top.

Have you heard his show is getting a revival?

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

Karl Pilkington.

Best accidental comedic genius of all time! XD
