Stand Up Comedy

Bill Hicks and Steven Wright. Those two are damn funny.

A friend of mine just introduced me to Eddie Izzard. Hilarious.

Agreed. He's a riot.

Loiu Anderson is good one of the few clean comics that really had a good run at it.

This is a really hard question for me. At the moment, my favorites are Dave Attell and Stephen Lynch. But there are a LOT of comedians I've loved through the years. Off the top of my head, here are some that have consistently made me laugh.

Eddie Griffin
Eddie Murphy
Rodney Dangerfield
Bill Cosby
Lewis Black
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Dane Cook
Dave Attell
Dave Chappelle
George Carlin
Bobcat Goldthwait
Emo Phillips
Richard Pryor
Stephen Lynch
Sam Kinnison (RIP)
Jon Stewart
Brian Regan
Jeff Foxworthy
Bill Engvall
Chris Rock
Bill Hicks (RIP)
Steven Wright
Tim Allen
Bernie Mac
Drew Carey

If you've never see any one, or more, of these guys in stand-up, I suggest you rent videos or try to catch them on Comedy Central.

Edit: Wow, that's quite a list "off the top of my head." Perhaps I watch too much comedy.

That explains a lot.

I find that there are very few commedians where I laugh at everything that comes out of their mouths. I'm not that big on Greg Geraldo but I saw him in that Insomniac Tour bit and his "bitches" sketch had me doubled over in laughter. I've been known to laugh or at least chuckle at bits from:

Gallagher
Bill Cosby
Andrew Dice Clay
Dave Attel
Cedric the Entertainer
Jerry Clower

But I love just about everything that I've seen from Ron White.

I've got Dave Attell in my car CD player right now. I would HIGHLY recommend that you try to rent DVDs or tape of most of these comedians instead of getting the water-downed Comedy Central versions. That goes for most of the classics as well: Carlin, Murphy etc.

And Dave Attell brings teh funneh. SEAPIGS!

Attell: Ok, let's do a little role play. I'll be a penguin waiter. Ask me to bring you something to drink.

Audience member: Bring me something to drink.

Attell: I can't! I'm a ing penguin! I don't have any hands!

I actually saw him live in San Francisco about 8 years ago. I've loved his standup ever since.
