Fav comedians
 

Ok, who's your fave comedians, stand up or otherwise. Mine has to be Bill Bailey, he just makes me cry laughing

My top would be

Louis C.K.
Lewis Black
Jim Gaffigan
Arj Barker
Dave Chappelle

And then there's great comics who are not currently working as comics:

Sarah Silverman
Eddie Izzard
Chris Rock

And then there's

Dennis Miller

Who is currently working as a comic AND as a radio talk-show guy

And then there's

Robert Smigel

Who is a comedy writer/producer but often works as a "stand-up" while he's doing:

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

My favorite is probably the humping, puking, eating it up dog. I have a very juvenile sense of humor.

From the NSFW thread.

Eddie Izzard... becuase there's a fucking H in it...


Dane Cook... puking and crying...

Russell Peters

Paula Poundstone
Lewis Black
Ron White
Wanda Sykes
and a few more that my Wednesday brain can't remember.

Bill Hicks
George Carlin, in his prime
Eddie Izzard (I heard Englebert Humperdink died)
Lewis Black
Norm McDonald - yeah, I know...

George Carlin
Bill Cosby
Eddie Murphy
Bill Murray
Gilda Radner
John Belushi
Dan Akroyd
Chevy Chase
Kevin Smith (stretching, but the guy can write the funny)
Steve Martin
Martin Short
Sarah Silverman (Jesus is magic!)
Robert Smigel
Rodney Dangerfield
Abbot & Costello
The Stooges
Cheech & Chong
Hudson & Landry
Robert Klein
Mel Brooks
Gene Wilder
Richard Pryor
Cloris Leachman
Madeline Kahn
Carl Reiner
Jon Stewart
Rob Schneider
Woody Allen
Adam Sandler
Mike Myers
Dana Carvey

I could go on...for everyone I come up with 5 more come to mind.

Whichever is making me laugh at the moment is my favorite.

W.C. Fields
Jonathan Winters
Richard Jeni
Richard Pryor
Chris Farley

At this point there needs to be clarification between stand-up comedy, and comic acting.

HOW CAN ANYONE FORGET CHRIS FARLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The three stooges! :)

Richard Pryor
Dave Chappelle
Lewis Black
Sam Kinison
Sacha Baron Cohen

Wanda Sykes
Lewis Black
Richard Jeni--but thinking about him now makes me sad
Louis C.K.--but remembering they canceled his show pisses me off
Bruce Bruce
Ron White
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, "...For me to poop on!!" :lol:

A couple of years ago, I saw a stand up comic from Queens (?) who was an opening act for Wanda at the Improv in DC--I wish I could remember his name, he was freaking hilarious.
