Robin Williams
Most french comedians are funny as shit, if you can understand french

I've never watched/heard any of his stand-up performances.

Rowan Atkinson > everyone else

So Dane Cook had a new comedy special which I neglected to watch because I can't stand him. But I heard a lot of positive things about it, so I'll probably end up watching it anyway.

Daniel Tosh also got his own show (Tosh.O), which seems kinda dumb, but I enjoyed his comedy specials.

I've been watching a lot of Louis C.K. Probably in my top 5 for comedians.

Daniel Tosh's show looks like a stupid concept, but he is hilarious so I'll give it a chance.

Steve Byrne is pretty funny. My girlfriend really enjoys him. And he is a Pittsburgh native.

Robin Williams

YES.

I wish I had sound on my computer to watch his special again. Awesome from the first joke to the last.

Has anyone seen Christian Finnegan's Au Contraire? I found it to be one of best stand up specials I've seen for a long time.

I watched Williams' "Live at the Met" 1986 special via youtube this afternoon. What a great comedian.

 

[Xorv]

He is bi-polar.

 

[Dak]

I've heard that is common for comedians. One of the funniest guys I knew was bi-polar. I think it's the shortcircuiting going on in the brain that allows them to think the stuff up.

 

[Merloch]

No one has heard Anthony Jeselnik?

I saw him on tour with Brian Posehn.... he stole the show although Posehn was great.

Anyway....


George Carlin
Jim Nortin
Dennis Miller
Bill Mahr
Dice Clay

I think I saw someone mention Jim Jeffries the other day; it might have been Chris...

But anyway, he's fucking hilarious.

just seen you posted this now...anyway he deserves another. If you get a chance check out his hour special on HBO its really good. Watched it at least 3 times already.

I don't really like this Jim Jefferies guy. I'm not a fan of comedians who rely purely on obscenity and shock value. I don't have a problem with obscenity (Louis CK is one of my favorites) it's just that I want some jokes in there too.

 

[Taliwakker]

Russell Brand is my fave at the moment.

 

[Mort Divine]

Bill Bailey is probably my favorite
