Who are your favorite comedians?
I can't get enough of these guys:
Ryan Stiles Colin Mochrie They're both from one of my favorite shows on tv, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" I like them because 1) they're just plain hilarious and 2) they both have such incredible talent on stage... I almost had a chance to go see Colin live, but I was leaving early in the morning for Atlanta at the end of May. Hopefully another time I can see him in person  I need to find some good comedy clubs in Tampa and go see some improv  |

I'm right with you Sue! Colin was in town about a month ago, but I was in Colorado, so missed out on his show.
To add, Bobby Slayton - he did a show at the Improv here in town, and I have never laughed so hard!

Bill Hicks- the most underrated comedian ever. He died a while back, but listen to the stuff he did on the first war in the gulf and it's amazing how relevant it is today.
Mitch Hedberg- Just good stoner comedy. Nothing groundbreaking, but still really funny.

Jim Gaffigan Dave Chapelle - this is for his standup not show There was a guy on comedy central presents, he was kind of a new age hippyish kinda looking guy long hair, talks like a old druggy, i never caught his name but his stand up was hilarious. Jay Mohr is a genius |

Jon Stewart is the best. Quite possibly the funniest man alive right now.
Bill Maher is slowly becoming a favorite of mine. At first I just didn't jive with him, but he's so much funnier than any other bigtime political comedian. For instance, Dennis Miller is dumbfoundingly unfunny compared. Bill's show on HBO is astoundingly funny. Mitch Hedberg, The Amazing Johnathan and Lewis Black are my other favorites.

In the area of stand-up
#1. Chris Rock - check out his latest one, put out in may or something on HBO, he hits on so many issues, and yet keeps u laughing through out. #2. Seinfeld - This is probably a wierd choice for most people. I loved his show, still watch some reruns from time to time. He's done stand up, there's one that's an hour and a half long. its very funny, definitely check it out before you dismiss him. #3. Robin williams - His standup is very very funny, most people mite think it might be too annoying cause of his movies and stuff (watch 1 hour photo for his break-out role). He rattles off liek 10 jokes every 30 seconds, and u'll have trouble keeping up. Good stuff, though if we stop him, we might save the world's water problems, watch it and u'll understand what i mean. I've not really watched much other stand up, but i think, i've watched over 15 hours of stand up total. Eddie murphy is pretty funny, i watch Last Comic standing, those guys are pretty good. Going to watch Dave Chapelle this weekend. For best set of comedians, whose line is it anyway is pretty good. It's best when its Greg, Wayne, Ryan, Colin, and Drew are on. The old british ones are quite good as well, though if u're not british, which i am not, u miss some of the jokes. Talk show hosts, the best are Jon Stewart, Conan, and then Letterman i suppose. Jimmy Stewart is pretty funny too |

Jon Stewart is by far the funniest man alive.
Behind him the cast of The Daily Show which is lead by the funny Lewis Black. Dennis Leary and Jerry Seinfeld make me laugh. Conan O'Brian is BEYOND funny in comparison to any other late night shows. I don't know his name but... The comic on MAD TV who does the John Madden impression. I've had to go to the bathroom while watching him.

Anyway though, I don't really know who my favorites would be. But I can say that the guys on the Blue Collar Comedy tour were pretty damn funny. And I'll admit I didn't expect them to be. Another comedian I really liked after seeing is Jay Mohr and I didn't expect him to be too good either. Also I've got to say, I really don't understand this craze with Jon Stewart. He's alright but he's not that great. I don't really like him on his own show but I do like some of the other people on his show. He bores me for some reason, not to mentions he sucks at interviewing people. I've got to admit though, I haven't seen him in stand up. I'm pretty much judging him based on how he does on his show.

No one beats Chris Rock. He's a living legend, literally. His timing is perfection, his facial expressions are a great supplement, but none of that compares to the wit of his material. He's done 3 sets, and his first two while a looong time ago, are still awesome by today's standards. You can quote this guy forever. Comedy Central did a Top 100 comedians of all time, Chris Rock was one of the only ones (if not the only one, I didn't see all 100) that's still active and alive, beating some of the all time greats.
Dave Chapelle's awesome too. Although his standup has really benefitted from the success of his show. I personally love Wanda Sykes looking toward female comedians. Paul Rodriguez also gets a thumbs up. He does for latinos what Chris Rock does for African Americans, oh and George Lopez (although I haven't seen his whole act). I really enjoy Dane Cook's enthusiasm, makes him so much more animated than any other performer. Dave Attell's up there. He came to my school once, totally bummed when I missed that one. |

Dave Chapelle Penn and Teller and Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld is probably the most talented comedian out there, because he doesnt use swear words in his acts. He also doesnt mention sex that much. Many poor comedians get by easily by using swear words and profanity. |

For all of you that listed Eddie Izzard, its great to know that there is such good taste one this board....I SO wanted to see him when he did his US tour last year, but alas, he came no where near Atlanta, DC was the closest if I remember right....has anyone here seen him in person? (if Im not mistaken this is the 2nd thread on this topic and a lot more people listed him in the last one)
