Stand Up Comedy

Who are your favorite stand up comedians?

I'm a big fan of Jim Gaffigan, Dane Cook, and Mitch Hedburg (may he rest in peace *sniffle*).

You are sooo right!! He can be screamingly funny.

Who else? Robin Williams, George Carlin, George Wallace, Lewis Black, Greg Proops.

I miss when Comedy Central used to show more stand-ups, and when A&E had a stand-up comedy show too. I used to watch those all the time. There were a lot of comics who had just one routine or one joke that I found really funny. I can't remember all their names now.

"I'm talking about responsible revolution. Charge down to parliament, tear down the doors, burst in and say, "Look . . . we'll pay for the damage."

The man's brilliant.

Edit: there's a lot of the delivery that's lost in typing it out . . . .

Comedy Central still does stand up comedians all the time.

I like George Carlin, Ellen Degeneres, and yes, Eddie Izzard is really funny.

I've been fortunate enough to see Eddie Izzard three times now, and he is hilarious (Glorious was my favourite - James Mason is god...).

I just found out that Kevin Bloody Wilson is appearing at the Newcastle City Hall next month, so I must get tickets to see him.

Cheers,
