Zach Galifinakis did that on one show on there.
YaWhateva, the guy you saw, did he have a beard?

Yes he did.

Stephen Wright.

Some old, some newer, most from the other side of the atlantic.

Tommy Cooper
Eric Morcambe
Eddie Izzard
Billy Connelly
Barry Humphries
Steve Coogan

We're probably thinking of the same man, then.
The one I saw was where he had a womens' choir singing in the background while he pulled big sheets of paper off of a giant pad marked with writing.
Then he stripped down to ballet tights and started twirling and dancing to the choirs' singing.

Does any of this sound familiar, YaWhateva? :lol:

hahaha ya thats definitely him. Is it that Zach Galifinakis guy?

If all that I described happened in theshow you watched, then, yup, it was Zach Galifinakis. :)

BIG fan of standup comedy here! I really like the following:

George Carlin (of course)
Richard Pryor (goes without saying)
Dennis Miller
Robin Williams
Sam Kinison
Eddie Murphy (back in the Raw days)
Ellen Degeneres (before her tv show and all the controversy)
Eddie Izzard
Henry Rollins (Maybe not a textbook definition of a standup comic, but he's pretty damn funny when he wants to be)
Chris Rock
I enjoyed Roseanne's stand up when she first made it big
Bernie Mac
Steven Wright
and, yes, I like Carrot Top. If you can get those annoying phone commercials out of your mind and go see him live, then he's pretty funny.

Also, if you enjoy Southern and redneck humor, I highly recommend picking up a dvd called the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It's sort of a redneck Kings of Comedy. Even though a lot of the things they talk about are adult-related in theme, there's practically no profanity. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It has these four comedians:

Ron White
Larry the Cable Guy
Bill Engvall
Jeff Foxworthy

Woody Allen is my all time favorite. To me, he's the funniest person out there. The Marx Brothers are also a riot. Especially Chico.

Sorry, HE IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

Favorites:

George Carlin
Dave Chappelle

I saw it live...AND own both CDs of it.

Yeah, I think they're alright, why'd you ask ;)

thank you sir

Chris Rock...his last HBO special is an all time classic.

Then of course Carlin, Miller, and the great Dice Man.

George Carlin
Dennis Miller
Chris Rock
Carlos Mencia
Lewis Black
Bill Engvall
Jeff Foxworthy
Ron White
Robin Williams
Red Skelton
Stephen Lynch
I could go on forever.

Sarah Silverman

1. She is Hot.

2. She is funny in an offensive way.

3. She can somehow get away with saying anything.

She used to be on Mr Show but now is on Crank yankers and has done a few bit parts in different movies and shows.
