Favorite comedians

I really enjoy comedy, and even bought xm radio for my car basically only for the comedy stations that come with it. Whenever i come to a good comedian i write down the name and look up some of their other material. My favorite thing to do is locate new comedians because there are always fresh, funny comedians that i have never heard about before.

Anyways, this thread is for us to post our favorite comedians for others to discover, so that the laughs are passed around. Who knows, one of the suggestions might cause you to buy their cd's / go see them in person.

My favorites would have to be (spellings not exact): Dimitri Martin, Jeff Foxworthy, Pablo Francisco, Bo burnham, Stephen Lynch, Mitch Hedberg (RIP), and Dane cook.


What are your favorites?

Ron White now, but when Eddie Murphy did that stand up in the 80s I almost needed stitches!! That aunt falling down the stairs was classic!!lol, and that cookout,roflmao.

Jeff Dunham is hillarious, but I'm not sure if he works without the visuals (He's a ventriloquist)

I also like Lewis Black and Eddie Izzard.

Yea eddie izzard is an amazing man.... or woman lol (hes a transvestite for those who dont know)

And i agree Jeff Dunham isnt really much without his dolls, but thats his act.

I also want to add Jerry seinfeld into the mix

OMG reading this, so many funy people come into my mind, BUT I would have to say right now, Will Ferril & Adam Sandler please. I know they aren't "comedians" in the stand up way but they are still funny!

Lewis Black gets my vote.

Scary movie 1,2,3,4 :D The greatest comedians :)

Adam Sandler for his multi talents including singing but Ron White for his real life humor and of course his infamous scotch drinking....:D

Ok old school jerry lewis and abbott and costello and i also like eddie izzard.

Have to say Tommy Cooper....really going way back now. Look him up on you tube good for a laugh.

Ron White is great in my opinion. I like Larry The Cable Guy's standup, but his acting is horrible.

ty for the thread i look forward to looking up some names i have never heard and have only one exception ..jerry Lewis(I just dont get this guy) and i must add to the mix all timer :cool:Jim Carrey:cool:(granted not all his work is top notch but man when he is on he is sooooo on) .....

I forgot to add Dennis Leary to my list of great comedians. Only problem is he's a bit graphic, but he provides lots of laughs.

Did Traca make a post!!!! Hells Bells where have you been?

As a brit some of these you wont have heard of, but should REALLY check out.


Michael Macintyre.... Lee Evans (best stand up in the world).... Jimmy Carr......Frankie Boyle....


All awesome

I just found out about Jeff Dunham. Some guys at work told me to check hiim out on youtube. I watched his Christmas Special and it was really good. His piece on his daughter filling up on gas the first time brought back some memories of when I had to do it myself. Mind you I wasn't as bad as her. I think Achmed is the best followed by peanut and walter. I wasn't too impressed with the last one Bubba.

Thats who he is!!!

finally found his name out. this guy is awesome
