I have recently gone through a phase where i love listening to comedians. I am looks for some new ones. Here are the ones i have seen.
Louis Black: Very good, very funny
Robin Williams: I need new lungs (Best comedian Ever)
Christopher Titus: Pretty good
Chris Rock: Pretty good, worth a listen
George Carlin: Earlier stuff was good, older stuff was too poisonous
Russel Peters: Actually manages to do the racial stuff very well
John Pinette: Now i'm hungry...
Those are the major ones i have seen. So, what are your favorites, who are they? why are they funny? and do they look really good in leather pants? (don't think to much about the last one, i didn't)

Easy one

Billy Connoly A.K.A The big yin,a Scot,a tim and the man responsible for many comedians.

There are a lot of comedians I really like that I could mention, but if I had to say one it would probably have to be George Carlin. Not only was he funny, he also made a lot of good points.

Steven Wright is great, and Mike Burbiglia is pretty good too.

Mitch Hedberg.

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."

Took awhile for someone to say this. It's gotta be Mitch Hedberg, no doubt.

 

[technoted]

stand up Bill Hicks and Bill Bailey are both amazing at different styles but for none stand up try some monty python

 

[Kinguendo]

Louis C.K. - I can say with ALL honesty that life is better knowing that Louis C.K.s comedy exists!

Mitch Hedberg.

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."

George Carlin: Earlier stuff was good, older stuff was too poisonous

His older stuff was awesome. George Carlin was possibly the best old codger ever.

 

[Red Bomb]

Billy Connelly
Robin William (sooo funny doing stand up on broadway)
Russel Peters
Bill Bailey (old stuff only though)
Bill Hicks (you the MAN!)

Stephen Lynch - the only man I know of to make a funny song about Jesus' brother & the special olympics

 

[Jared]

For me has to be Eddie Izzard is my favourite. Just how he floats from topic to topic, without any real structure and sometimes wonders off into tangents, is hilarious lol

Also, Robin Williams, just because he can be so random

?I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are.?
"Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!"
