Brian Regan
Mitch Hedberg
Dave Chappelle
Bill Cosby
Jeff Dunham (hilarious ventriloquist, sounds like an oxymoron but take my word for it)
Stephen Lynch

Alright, I'm gonna say it: I don't get Mitch Hedberg. Never thought he was funny one bit.

Eddie Izzard, however... Hot damn. And his new series "The Riches" is pretty damn funny too, although it's more of a drama.

DanaC · 04-13-2007, 06:25 PM

I dunno what it is about izzard....but damnit he's \the only guy I have ever come across who can wear make up, high heels and a girl's tunic and I still want to bed him.

Who's Mitch Hedburg?

Bullitt · 04-13-2007, 07:12 PM

Stand up comedian, died in March 2005 from drug overdose.
Real goofy guy, search for youtube videos of him.
"Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. 'Damn it, Otto, you're an alcoholic.' 'Damn it, Otto, you have lupus.' One of those two doesn't sound right."
"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here!"

Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?

Bill Hicks
Bill Cosby, during the 1960s and early 70s.
George Carlin, before his heart attack
Tom Lehrer
Richard Prior, after he discovered the N-word, but before he set fire to himself
Bobcat Goldthwait, up until he discovered that he bore a mild resemblance to Bono
Lenny Bruce, before the Obscenity Trial
Robin Williams, before the stupid sitcom

Most of my favorites are dead or no longer doing their best work. It makes me sad.
I like Eddie Izzard.

I really think most are afraid of pissing-off their audience now and try to hard to play to a niche.
It is a game now and not real work.

Urbane Guerrilla · 07-18-2007, 01:49 AM

I agree with sheldonrs: Ron White on the You Can't Fix Stupid tour... that very still but fuckin' demented stage persona, sporting that lip-twitching three-quarter smile.

Yakov Smirnov, when he was current, back in the Eighties.

Oh my...Mitch Hedburg is amazing.
"The commercial for Diet Dr. Pepper says it tastes just like regular Dr. Pepper. Well then they fucked up!"

I adore him. Such a shame he's gone.

No mention of Patton Oswalt yet? He's hilarious.
