[quote=SmootSmack;428251]Hedberg is very funny. RIP.

Steven Wright's pretty good too.[/quote]


[I]Hey, hey, Rachel dear...[/I]I used to really like Steven Wright's stand-up until I saw Half-Baked and then for some reason I never thought he was all that funny afterwards. The movie overall was pretty good.

Love achmed, walter and peanut. Definitely my favs.

Can't say I liked Jose, jalepeno on a stick. That one just hasn't grown on me yet.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

I saw the jalepeno on a stick routine friday night, it wasn't that funny. I've seen a couple other of his standups and they were good though.

[QUOTE=4mrusmc;428352]My vote goes to Richard Prior (sp?). My parents used to have his stuff on 8-track cassettes that I would sneak to listen to when I was a youngling. Eddie Murphy is a close second.[/QUOTE]

I cant believe that it took this long for someone to mention Richard Prior and Eddie Murphy.When I was a kid I would watch them on my parents vhs.I even think they had some old Richard Prior on beta.It was a little dirty for such young ears but I loved them and still remember some of the jokes to this day.

Richard Pryor was great. Don't forget Redd Foxx either

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

How about Gallagher?

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

All great comedians listed. One I have to add is Nick Swardson. Saw him at GW last year, he's hilarious.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Lewis Black

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

i like George Carlin, Redd Foxx, and Chris Rock. in no particular order.

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

[QUOTE=gibbsisgod;428482]Lewis Black[/QUOTE]

God how did I forget him. If it weren't for my horse....

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

I like most of these people up here, except for Dane Cook. He's just not funny, IMO. I've seen a couple of excerpts from his shows, and I keep waiting for something to be funny, but it never is.

Is there something specific someone can point me to of his that's actually funny?

Re: Favorite Stand-up Comedian:
 

Dane Cook is someone you either find hilarious or annoying. Personally I think he's hilarious.

I agree with pretty much everyone that's been named here. I like going to comedy shows, it's a more laid back atmosphere vs. going to see a band.

I've seen Ron White, Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Maher, and Lewis Black in the past few years.
