Stand-Up Comedians...

[Oneironaut Zero]

I'm sitting here watching Chris Rock and thinking about how much I love good stand-up comedy. Comedy Central has been showing some great back-to-back comedy for the past month or two, and I can't get enough of it. Who are some of your favorite stand-up comedians?

[Universal Mind]

I love Chris Rock. My two favorite stand ups are Bill Hicks http://youtube.com/watch?v=aBCkm9-LvRg and Brian Regan http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ogZo9YreQ4

[Oneironaut Zero]

Haha. I've seen bill Hicks (hilarious), but that's the first time I've seen Brian Regan. That was good stuff.

[Raccoon]

Ive loved stand up for YEARS.. Pablo Francisco, recently. Carlos Mencia Wanda Sykes Robin Williams some of my favorites... And Robin Williams is very different than you would expect from his acting, if youve never seen his standup.

[Replicon]

I can't get enough of George Carlin. I also really like Bill Hicks, Russell Peters, Chris Rock, Doug Stanhope, and... a whole lot of others hehe. Really depends on my mood.

[Oneiro]

A UK perspective: the one and only Ken Dodd.

[Carôusoul]

Richard Pryor

[Vegan]

Definitely George Carlin, Jim Gaffigan, Jim Jeffries.

Jim Gaffigan Lewis Black There were a host of lesser knowns I liked this weekend but cant remember their names definatly Jeff Dunham Dat Phan

[Oneironaut Zero]

Hahaha. I love Dat Phan! (plus many of the others listed, but I had to comment on him because he's a little less known) And I was thinking about trying to find a link to Jeff Dunham's whole last show that I just saw on CC, a few weeks ago. (With the Ahkmed the Dead Terrorist Puppet) God, that was so funny. His puppets are the shit, especially Peanut and Walter.

American stand up gets lost in translation I think. Bill Bailey is where it's at: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PRyvsRAo8T8 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk9Ny7...eature=related

Personally, I love Demetri Martin. Here are some (audio only, but that's alright for his type of jokes) videos of his routines on youtube if anyone's interested.

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Lee Evans Frankie Boyle Peter Kay I don't see why some people like Russel Brand, he's a weirdo if you ask me. Creepy as well.

Jimmy Carr Al Murray (does he count?) Harry Hill, All really great, although Jimmy Carr has that amazing body language and dry wit so funny.

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Jimmy Carr Harry Hill, All really great, although Jimmy Carr has that amazing body language and dry wit so funny. I'll agree with you on that, Harry Hill cracks me up. "Theres only one way to find out...."

[NeAvO]

Fight!!!!! Tv Burp is awesome! I can not miss that show!

[CoLd BlooDed]

Jimmy Car is fucking hilarious. He's one of my favourite amongst Jim Gaffigan (that depressed guy from that 70's show) and Dave Chapelle. His show isn't funny but his stand up sure is.

[Volcon]

My favorites are Gabrial Iglasias, Brian Regan, and Lewis Black.

[MrBeelzy]

Personally, I love Demetri Martin. Demetri Martin is awesome, one of my current favorites. My absolute favorite comic ever would probably be Mitch Hedberg. It's a real shame he died.

[ExoByte]

Russel Peters George Carlin Stephen Lynch Jeff Dunham

Check out Ted Alexandro's episode of Comedy Central Presents... it's hilarious as hell.

[Moonbeam]

O, have you ever seen a movie called "The Aristocrats"? Definitely not to everyone's taste (don't even let anyone over-hear you watching it, if they don't see the whole thing they won't understand), but it is so unbelievable, yet hilarious, it's like you can't believe you're laughing at something like that, and it's got a lot of major comedians in it. (They all tell the same joke--you just have to see it, I can't explain it.) If you seen (and liked it) you know what I mean.

Mitch Hedburg was my favorite before his death. Right now I like Marie Bamford, Patton Oswald, and Zak Galifianakis.
