Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Chris Rock is great. But so are some of the old-schoolers like Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

I've mentioned it before here, but I really recommend the documentary "Comedian"

I like the one that smokes cigars and drinks scotch on stage.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Mitch Hedberg. Hands down my fav. of all time. I like the burnt stoner idiot comedy.

I also went to see Bobby Slaton twice (late show both times) and the more he drinks the rougher he is and the longer he goes. I think he even cut a CD at the Improv in DC when I was there, so he was really ON... Hilarious...

I don't want to flood the thread with stuff, but if you like that clip, open it up in youtube and the rest of the set is available in the sidebar... it gets funnier as he goes i think...

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Hedberg is great and I'm a fan of a lot of the mainstream guys: Rock, Dane Cook, Chapelle.

However, I'm really becoming a fan of Mike Birbiglia.

Also, I hate the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys.

Hedberg is very funny. RIP.

Steven Wright's pretty good too.

YouTube hates me...

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

I'd give another vote for Gaffigan. One guy who doesn't do stand up but is unjustly funny is Will Ferrell. His "Ask Will Anything" college tour is hysterical as are just about all of his skits on [url=http://www.funnyordie.com]Funny or Die - funny videos featuring celebrities, comedians, and you.[/url]

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Steve Martin is an all-time great. Dave Attell slays me.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

There are so many great comics. If you're into more dirty comedy:
Lisa Lampinelli, Robert Schimmel, and Bob Sagat can be great.

For the cleaner stuff, everyone loves Chapelle, Rock, Hedberg. However, Mitch Fatel can be great, Gaffigan is great (hot pocket!). There are so many great ones Im forgetting a bunch.

Actually yeah I do. I mean like he's a family friend. I haven't seen him in like 10 years though.

They call him tater salad. LOL...you're talking about Ron White.

Dane Cook, Jeff Dunham, Bobby Collins, and Rodney Carrington

Another Jeff Dunham fan! Ohhh yeah I knew I wasn't the only one out there who thinks he's an awesome comedian. Ventriloquism is in! :D

I saw him do stand up in 94 or 95...he came to my college, and I laughed so had I cried. Been a fan ever since.
Best part about him is that he's a clean comedian. I like vulgar comedians too, but it's rare to see really funny clean comedians.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

My vote goes to Richard Prior (sp?). My parents used to have his stuff on 8-track cassettes that I would sneak to listen to when I was a youngling. Eddie Murphy is a close second.

Speaking of them, how the hell does Larry the Cable Guy keep getting work?! I swear my wife DVRs almost ALL talk shows and late night shows and he's on EVERY ONE OF THEM. What the F?

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Larry the Cable guy as well, his routine gets really old for me. I love most of the mainstream guys though, but I have to say three of the funniest standup special's I've seen were by Rodney Carrington, Bob Saget, and Stephen Lynch. Mitch Hedberg was also another guy who I thought had a great routine as well.

[I]Hey, hey, Rachel dear...[/I]I used to really like Steven Wright's stand-up until I saw Half-Baked and then for some reason I never thought he was all that funny afterwards. The movie overall was pretty good.

Love achmed, walter and peanut. Definitely my favs.

Can't say I liked Jose, jalepeno on a stick. That one just hasn't grown on me yet.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

I saw the jalepeno on a stick routine friday night, it wasn't that funny. I've seen a couple other of his standups and they were good though.

I cant believe that it took this long for someone to mention Richard Prior and Eddie Murphy.When I was a kid I would watch them on my parents vhs.I even think they had some old Richard Prior on beta.It was a little dirty for such young ears but I loved them and still remember some of the jokes to this day.

Richard Pryor was great. Don't forget Redd Foxx either

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

How about Gallagher?

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

All great comedians listed. One I have to add is Nick Swardson. Saw him at GW last year, he's hilarious.
