Lee Mack
DAVE (UK TV channel) has been showing some of his live stuff and he's hilarious.
Sean Lock is also fantastic his 15 Storeys High series was fantastic and he's fantastic on any panel show.
Special mention to Frankie Boyle who makes Jimmy Carr look like a bed wetting toddler throwing a tantrum.

Two of my all-time favorites are Jeff Dunham.

And The Amazing Jonathan.

Both are great acts, and Jeff is funny as hell even in the bloopers.

I'm going to see one of my favourites, Bill Bailey, on the 17th September, I honestly can't wait. My fiancee and I are massive fans.
Other favourites include Eddie Izzard (I own all his dvds), Dylan Moran, Al Murray, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Ed Byrne, Marcus Brigstock, and Richard Hall/ Otis Lee Crenshaw (whom I've seen live, and is hilarious.)

Eddie Izzard's got to be my favourite because he's just so damn cool. He's like the uncle I wish I had when I was a kid.

I've only ever seen Frankie Boyle on Mock The Week, but he just makes jokes that no-one else can make. Or at least, they don't seem to want to try.

This may sound weird, but Robin Williams is pretty good in his Broadway show. It's difficult to know which of his accents is his real one.

Eddie Izzard is a hero. His stuttering streaming-thought style is absolutely hysterical.
Frankie Boyle is practically everyones favourite comedian and it's understandable. He's definitely one of mine. He is RAW in the Mock The Week outtakes if you haven't seen them.

I watched Stewart Lee's "World's 41st Best Stand-Up" show earlier today and it had me howling with laughter.
Especially the bit about the Carphone Warehouse's "true values".

If we are including comedy groups, then how can we not all pray to our overlords at Monty Python?

Well I'm watching Bill Burr right now and hes actually freakin hilarious, I'm pleasantly surprised. Also I'd have to say Mitch Hedburg, just a shame hes dead =/ Robin Williams is great too. I like Dave Chappelle as well, just his voice cracks me up.

*shrug* its something about his voice that just makes me laugh. Just be happy I didn't say Dane Cook, and besides, whats wrong with Dave Chappelle?...I wasn't aware I couldn't say certain comedians names without someone snapping...

I'm still confused as to why it should shock you enough to comment on it...He may be all of those things but there are still jokes that are funny, I mean all comedians help fill a certain void of humor that were always looking for. I'm surprised at the George Carlin votes, I never found him particularly funny. Towards the end, he just had no idea what he was talking about when it came to politics and you can have your political views slid in but he was by no means a master of that skill since he would just start making a speech on stage instead of telling jokes, but hey thats my 2 cents now.

Dave Chappelle?

Serious?

Honestly, I was going to let the Jerry Seinfeld vote pass, and even ignore anyone mentioning Jeff Foxworthy or Larry the Cable Guy, but DAVE CHAPPELLE?
You're suprised that a guy who's made millions upon millions of dollars has fans? How else do you think he got those millions?

Personally, I can't believe you'd let Jeff and Larry slide, but not Dave. That doesn't register in my brain as making sense, but whatever.. it's your opinion.
