He's not for everyone but I find him HILARIOUS.

Lewis Black.

hm, didn't really leave a good taste in my mouth probably becuase i'm not athiest.

Neither am i and i laughed my ass off. But i am jewish so i see his point of view. In Hebrew school they told us the world WASN'T made in 7 days.

Well I am watching the full thing now and it is pretty funny.

This is actually the act that got me into standup comedy

George Carlin is a must-see.

Brian Regan is one funny guy. He is more "clean" humor though, but he still is funny.
Jim Gaffigan is also funny, he is a bit odd though.
And Ricky Gervais can be funny for certain people, I think he gets free points from me for having an accent though.

And ya know, George Carlin and Mitch Hedberg are good too.

I'm a big fan of Adam Hills and Dave Allen and would highly recomend them. Dave Allens stuff is fairly old so you can predict most of the punchlines but his delivery is superb!

 

[Dango]

Mike Birbiglia is one of my favorites.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

Lewis Black.

honestly, was that called for?

here is one of my favorite stand up comedians

 

[FalloutJack]

Dane Cook. He's not dead!

 

[katsumoto03]

This guy is probably my favourite comedian right now.

 

[Cpu46]

Jim Gaffigan and a lot of other people already mentioned

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

Spoiler: Nick Swardson

 

[Duffeknol]

Americans can't stand up. They can't do improv and they can't decently interact with the crowd except for shouting where they are and where they're from ("WHOOOO YEAH I'M FROM THAT PLACE TOO!!!!!!!!111").

George Carlin is untouchable though.

[SL33TBL1ND]

Dylan Moran. Russell Peters.

[I am Jack's profile]

the late Bill hicks. Dennis leary should die of cancer for getting famous off hick's stuff. the dirty unfunny theif.

also Dimitri martin is hilarious

 

[SquadronAce]

Rhys Darby, the guy who played Murrary in Flight of the Conchords, hes the funniest stand up ive ever seen

 

[Dark Pythos]

George Carlin should be at the top of any list when learning about standup. RIP George.

Was gonna say the same thing, he was an artist and a genious.

[zombiestrangler]

My god, I could list all the ones off the top of my head and still be missing some of the ones I know of.
My favorites are early George Carlin, Aries Spears, Patton Oswalt, Christopher Titus, etc.
If you have Netflix off a Wii or Xbox or whatever, there should still be the CC presents compilation on there. Right now I just started on the A's. Another add to the list: Alonzo Bodden.
