[quote=hooskins;507346]I really like Mitch hedberg and and Dmitri Martin(I like that delivery style).

I saw the new Chris Rock standup, which was pretty hilarious. Also Bob Saget is absolutely hilarious in stand-up.[/quote]


Mitch Hedberg is my all time fav. I'll check out Dmitri Martin per your reccomendation.

Took the wife to Bobby Slaton a few years back at the DC improv and he commented on her enormous rack. Proudest moment of my life. Great show, also.

I saw Red Fox back at VA Tech back in 1983 and man that guy could spit out some 4 letter words.

[quote=12thMan;507461]You know I've seen my share, but I just keep coming back to Chris Rock. I think it's his facial expressions and intonation and what not. But the dude is funny. I remmeber during one routine, Rock must have dropped the f bomb at least a hundred times.

Oh, and Margaret Cho...whew buddy! Korean chick? She is funny as shit! Her impersonations of her mom are funny as hell. Someone should post a YouTube of her.[/quote]

I love ascerbic social commentary, it doesn't get any more biting that CR. He takes no prisoners. Needs to get back out there and rip up some small local clubs though.

Oh, and for 'odd' I like Eddie Izzard. Now [U]that's[/U] as fragmented a delivery as is possible.

[quote=SmootSmack;507453]I like the storytelling of Bill cosby and Bob Newhart. I liked Richard Jeni as well the couple of times I saw him live. RIP to Mr. Jeni[/quote]

Cosby is a great story teller no doubt

I definitely agree about Hedberg, that man was classic. He's up there along with Carlin, Carlin's jokes were timeless classics imo because for me most of them still ring true today.

And I second the Demetri Martin recommendation. I have a lot of his stuff on my computer, I think his delivery is what makes it so funny imo. I find his stuff to be a lot better with visual aids though, which is why I recommend you check out his standup on Comedy Central Presents.

+1 Bill Hicks was the man.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian
 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned jim gaffigan. minute for minute I think he's awesome, although he doesn't seem to perform all that often. Rock is different than he used to be - I can listen to his new stuff i.e. "don't kill the messenger" for several minutes w/o laughing.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian
 

^^^ Rock used to be my favorite.

George Carlin. He was just really good. I hated his politics but no one is perfect.

This one is for you environmentalist.
