[benfan]

Favourite comedians - Gervais, Frankie Boyle, Dylan Moran.

The new Frankie Boyle stand up dvd is hilarious.

[adb]

I hate Gervais, **** him

[Spaceman Spiff]

I started really getting into standup at around age 12 when I saw George Carlin's You're All Diseased.

Some of my favorite stand-ups are: George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Dave Chappelle, David Cross, Jerry Seinfeld, Denis Leary (he's quite funny when doing his own material and not just ripping off Bill Hicks).

Ricky Gervais' recent special was hilarious. It's been a while since I've seen a stand-up special that good.

Oh, and let's not forget Louis C.K. This guy is also a great comic. Patton Oswalt, too.

Daniel Tosh
Demetri Martin
Nick Swardson

[Spaceman Spiff]

Aahhh! How did I forget Mitch Hedberg?!

There's also this one guy I've heard a bit from lately. This fat black man named Patrice Oneal. He's very funny.

[jrowa001]

i think ive seen him on Comedy Central before. if i remember correctly he was funny.

yeah dude, never forget about the great Hedberg

[Transient]

demetri martin's new tv show is going to air soon, can't wait for that

[Spaceman Spiff]

One stand-up special that I loved when I was younger (haven't seen it in years) was this one that Dana Carvey did in the mid 90's. I remember it being really funny.

[The Transporter]

Richard Pryor is the only stand up comedian worth mentioning

[curseworship]

Spiff, Patton Oswalt and Louis C.K. are my favorites too. Also a huge fan of Maine comic Bob Marley. Eddie Izzard is up there too. CAKE OR DEATH?

This guy's ok, but I love his joke about not seeing Australian James Bond villains:

You'll have to skip to about the 2:10 mark.

the one where he plays the piano and sings the brocolli song? if so yeah thats a hilarious special

i forgot to mention Josh Blue. hes the comedian with cerebral palsy who won last comic standing a few years ago. he hilarious. "they call me a human vibrator"

[Spaceman Spiff]

Patton Oswalt on the KFC famous bowl or whatever it's called is hilarious.

Oh, and Zach Galifianakis is another great one.

the one where he plays the piano and sings the brocolli song? if so yeah thats a hilarious special
Yes, that's the one.

[huxtaposition]

Brian Posehn is another good one. You should all check out Comedians of Comedy with Posehn, Patton, Galiafanakis and some chick that I didn't find very funny. They basically do a rock tour around the nation of stand up, it's gold.

Ed Norton is also hilarious. Patrice O'Neil does Opie and Anthony sometimes but I never find him funny.

Eddie Murphy Raw was great too.

[RetiredAt21]

Nick Swardson is hilarious. He's really funny on Reno 911, too. His character Terry is a riot.

[Ill Mitch]

Eddie Izzard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hJQsvoY6VU

[Against Miik!]

I'm pretty tired so I'm just gonna lay down.

omg its so good I came to this thread.

[little_eiffel]

i've seen Bob Newhart, George Carlin, Eddie Izzard and Morgan Murphy w/ Paul F. Tompkins (Aimee Mann Xmas Show).

i must say i have a soft spot for Nina Conti. she's not as well known in the states as in the UK. she did have a spot in the movie, For Your Consideration. lady ventriloquist with the stuffed monkey on her hand. good stuff.

[benfan]

I hate Gervais, **** him

Nar hes pretty funny.


I saw a funny guy at Leeds fest called Sugar Sammy, mainly played on the fact that he was indian, but it was a good set.

[Spaceman Spiff]

He's not exactly a stand-up, but I have to add Henry Rollins to this thread. He does great spoken word shows with lots of hilarious material, although he can get very serious, too.

[Tillius]

I am my own favorite stand up comedian.

[jrowa001]

forgot to mention Galifanakis. his dvd Live at the Purple Onion is hilarious. some parts were a little bland though.

also Kyle Cease. hes a fast talking comedian and most of his jokes come from going off on tangents

[djtdub105]

galifinakis is pretty funny, at least from what i've seen on comedy central

[Mother]

Nar hes pretty funny.

Sugar Sammy was down here( at the comedy cafe where I work) last week, He comedy wasn't so Indian based when he was here, he just went on making fun of the crowd.

Eddie Murphy
