Who are your favorite comedians, comediannes?

Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampanelli, Kathy Griffen, George Carlin, and some other dead guy that I can’t remember the name of.

I haven’t been around long enough to judge how comedy has changed in the past twenty years but my favourite comedians are Colin Lane, Frank Woodley, Demetri Martin, Carl Baron, Hamish Blake, Andy Lee, The Umbilical Brothers, The Monty Python Crew, Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Bill Bailey, Arj Barker, and I can’t think of any more :P

The dead guy I couldn’t remember the name of is Mitch Hedburg (sp?).

I second George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, the Pythons, Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Bill Bailey.

To add some more: Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Alan Carr, Jo Brand, Jennifer Saunders, Victoria Wood, Phill Jupitus, David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Simon Pegg, Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Dennis Miller, Bill Maher, The Capitol Steps, Dave Barry, Jon Stewart…

I like Brits and political humor, can you tell?

Richard Pryor, Paul Mooney, Katt Williams, Mitch Hedberg, George Carlin, Flip Wilson, Redd Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Dave Chappelle

I’s interesting that so many people are saying Mitch Hedberg! I loved him too but before he commited suicide, it seemed that nobody really knew about him.

The late great Richard Jeni. David Cross and Chris Rock.

Dave Chappelle, and a bunch of norwegian comedians,

Kathy Griffin accepting an Emmy, and being rebanned, Zelwiger, Hilton, Dakota Fanning.
Margaret Cho talking about her family and friends, especially her mom leaving a message. Dave Chappelle for Rick James, the racial draft, Charlie Murphy, and Wayne Brady.
George Carlin for the 10 commandments down to 2, and everything to do with language.
Sarah Silverman for f***ing Matt Damon.
Louis CK for an awesome show that should have lasted longer.
Dennis Miller for all the smart rants.
Bill Maher for a different kind of smart rant, and the take on religion.
Jennifer Saunders for AbFab -especially the time Saffy kissed her prof and Edi licked the light switch. Also, selling Saffy.
John Stewart for bringing it nightly to the news, and for his Crossfire appearance.

IN the past 20 years i think stand up has become more sexual, America has become sex crazed and most stand up these days revolves around sexual content because we have run out of stuff to make fun of

Comediannes aren’t funny,

Ether is Dane Cook.

@simone sarah silverman is hilarious and hot :)

Yeah I know she defiantly is both of them things. I still needed to make my statement.

I’ve been watching, studying, (almost) worshiping comedians and comedy acts most of my life and I agree with a good majority of the above list, however I try to keep on the lookout for up-and-comers too. My favorite “new” comedian right now is John Caparulo.

My top 10 list:
1— George Carlin
2— Richard Pryor
3— Lenny Bruce
4— Bill Cosby
5— Steve Martin
6— Chris Rock
7— Rodney Dangerfield
8— Eddie Murphy
9— Jerry Seinfeld
10— Mitch Hedburg

@Sakata I have been told I look related to Steve Martin.

Damn, someone finally mentioned lenny. his fight for the first amendment was one thing (being able to say “fuck” on stage is certainly taken for granted these days) but he was also one hilarious dude. him and cosby were two of the first stand-up comedians to just talk about their lives in a way that everybody could relate. before them it was all mother-in-law jokes and “how about these taxes?”
