Fav. Comedians?

compl3x · 01-22-2007, 07:33 AM

I been listening to a lot of comedy shit lately and I was just wondering what kind of stand-ups you guys liked? I like people like:

George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Eddie Murphy (in his younger days (delirious & raw), Richard Pryor and so on. :biggrin:

There are more but those come to mind immediately.

What you said except Bill Hicks because I don't think I know who that is.
Also Lewis Black, Dimitri Martin, Jim Gaffigan, and I'm sure there are other that I can't think of now.

Zach Galifianakis, Dane Cook, Stephen Lynch, Ted Alexandro, Arj Barker, Mike Birbiglia, Gabriel Iglesias, Ellen DeGeneres, Pablo Francisco, Todd Glass,

just a few

Paul · 01-22-2007, 09:08 AM

Oh Galifinakis, Dane Cook, and Ellen are all good ones too

compl3x · 01-22-2007, 05:39 PM

Cook is cool, a bit over rated to some extent in my opinion, but I still get a laugh out of some of his stuff.

If you haven't heard Bill Hicks shit, get it! Funny guy.

Mostly just Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedburg.

First and foremost Russel Peters, Eddie Murphy in his younger years a bunch others, dont know there names but its Jeff Fox and the redkneck tour which was one of the best performances I have ever seen!

Paul · 01-23-2007, 05:16 AM

Jeff Foxworthy you mean?
I know he can be funny, but he rarely is. Redneck jokes just arent that funny especially if its 90% of your jokes. (no I'm not a redneck.)

And ya Russel Peters is fucking funny.

I have quite a few:

Ross Noble
Danny Bhoy
Arj Barker
Carl Barron
Steven K. Amos

Out of those I like Ross Noble the best. He rocks my socks.

Also is it just me or are British comedians so much better than everyone else? Monty Python were awesome...so much better than a lot of stuff.

Bill Bailey, Lee Evans, Victor Borge... the musical comedians are my favorites

And England is better at humour which doesn't simply involve random swearing and rhetorical questions because we've been doing it for a few thousand years longer than the USA

Bill Bailey is wonderful. If you like Bill Bailey, though, you should definitely check out Dylan Moran, and Eddie Izzard. Additionally, Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey wrote a series together called Black Books which is one of the funniest british series to date.

Joel007 · 04-05-2007, 01:14 PM

I own all of the Black Books DVDs

Dylan Moran is awesome!
