If you've never come across old recordings of Woody Allen doing stand-up in the early Sixties, search for them. He was really, really funny!
Also, I love, love, love Billy Connolly. He is screamingly funny. And everything sounds that much funnier in a Scots accent.
Stephen Lynch always makes me crack up. His studio albums are okay, but his live performances are just phenomenal. The superheroes bit made me laugh so hard I cried, the first time I heard it.
That said, I also like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Bob Newhart, Frank Caliendo, and occasionally, Margaret Cho.
