there are SOOO many...but I'll name a few of my favorites, who I believe are the most original and hilarious. Richard Preyer, Jerry Seinfeld, Dane Cook, George Carlon, *Lenny Bruce* (IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF HIM, CHECK HIM OUT!!!), Jay Moore, Bill Cosby, Chris rock, Dave Chapelle, Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, Dennis Leary, Sinbad, Jim Breuer...like I said, there are way too many, but these are probably my favorites...as you can see, there are no woman on my list

Lenny Bruce

If we are sticking with "is" then I'll go with -

Billy Connelly
and Eddie Izard

And we need soem for teh ladies, so how about Jo Brandt? And did anyone else here know she was a mental health nurse before a commedienne? Anyone know if any other comedians had "day jobs" before?

I cant believe I forgot about Richard Pryor & Bill Cosby!

 

[ThePatriot]

Wow, lots of great names in this thread! I just saw the Blue-Collar comedy Tour on Comedy Central last nite...Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White. Freakin hilarious...even better when you're NOT from the south! :lick:

Falconguard mentioned Bill Cosby, and he's exactly right...I thought he was ok when I was young and single...but a few years and a few kids later...he's unbelievably profound!

 

[Geffy]

Eddie Izzard
Phil Jupitus
Mitch Hedberg
Bill Bailey
Dylan Moran
Jeremy Hardy

so on and so forth

 

[Xie]

Bill Hicks is "worth mentioning"? He's a God, you should have to bow just to say his name!

Good to see I wasn't the only one going to mention Bill Hicks.

 

[sean.ferguson]

Billy Connolly and Peter Kay

** Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me **

Henry Rollins

*although it's not really stand up, it is some of the funniest stuff you'll hear.
