Favorite Stand-Up Comics

Kathy Griffin and Rodney Dangerfield. WC. Fields was my all-time short and movie comic.

Tri

Dave Chappelle and Kat Williams

(and practically anyone from SNL)

Russell Peters
Pablo Francisco
Elvira Kurt
Tom Kenny (pre Sponge Bob)
Bobby Collins

I guess I never got stoned enough to appreciate Mitch Hedberg. I do not find that guy funny. I just don't.

I find Carlos Mencia to be obnoxious, loud, and racist. Can't stand him. Will turn off the TV if he's on.

Eddie Murphy, Kaufman, Billy Connoly.
Richard Pryor is also very good!
There are lots of...

Current loves:
-Bill Bailey
-Dylan Moran
-Dara O'Briain
-Josie Long
-Lewis Black
-Eddie Izzard
-Tim Minchin
-Margaret Cho
-Colin Mochrie (saw him live, he was wonderful)

Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Dara. Used to like a lot of others but it seems like comics go off once they get really big and / or stop tormenting themselves with drugs drink and bad behaviour.

Or maybe I'm becoming bitter and twisted.

(Becoming. )

The be all and end all 2:

Howie Mandel, and GEORGE CARLIN!

comped

Billy Connolly - forever.

Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Emo Phillips, Louis Ck, Mitch Hedburg, and Doug Stanhope

Lee Evans
Adam Hills
Umbilical Brothers (OK, I know they aren't exactly stand up but they're BRILLIANT)
Johnny Depp (oh come on! He's hilarious as Captain Jack Sparrow!)

Kat Williams, Eddie Izzard, Russel Peters, Ralphie May, Jim Norton, Ricky Gervais among others.

Bill Hicks

Daniel Tosh and Chris Rock.

Tosh has a great way of offending you and then making you feel like a bad person for feeling rightly offended, it's real talent.

Rock, we all know rock.

Russel Peters for me

Bill Hicks. Definitely. RIP

Woody Allen

David Letterman

Bob Newhart (although I actually prefer his sitcoms to his stand-up performances)

Richard Lewis deserves a shout out.

And there's Marc Maron. His podcast is comedy nerd heaven. http://www.wtfpod.com/

I love Lisa Lampanelli, Margaret Cho and Chris Rock.

Jeff Dunham is hilarious, albeit with the help of puppets.

Steven Wright. I love that he was so petrified to go on stage the first time that his delivery became his act.

Sarah Silverman, Richard Pryor, George Carlin.

louis ck is my current favorite

John Pinnette is one of my faves. I saw his "Still Hungry" special on the comedy network and laughed the entire time.

I also enjoy George Carlin and Lewis Black. I don't watch a lot of stand up though.

Carlin, Pryor, Jim Norton, Andrew Dice Clay, Chris Rock, Jeff Ross, Tim Allen, Norm MacDonald, Jerry Seinfeld, Lewis Black, Carrot Top, Jackie "the joke man" Martling, Louis CK, Nick Dipaolo, Bill Burr.

Fave comics

David Cross, Patton Oswalt, late George Carlin, Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Lewis Black, Chris Rock and for being a free speech, expression pioneer Lenny Bruce.
No particular order. Okay the order I thought of them. I tend to lean toward left leaning, liberal comedians.

I always liked Chris Rock
