Who is your favorite comedian? I just got a Dane Cook CD for Christmas and I laughed hysterically listening to that guy. My favorite would have to be Mitch Hedberg. "Think like a cactus."
Et tu?

Denis Leary for the win.
Definitely Mitch Hedberg. He has the same birthday as I do too. :D
Favorite comedian that is currently alive would be Jim Gaffigan though. I saw him live once. Hilarious.
I知 not into stand-up comedy so much anymore. The only comedian I can bother staying up to watch is Jim Gaffigan. I really like Pale Force, too.
If you mean just outside of stand-up comedy, and you would say Conan O達rien is a comedian, then Conan O達rien is my favorite comedian. :smash:

JEREMY HOTZ! this guy is hilarious. youtube him.
Demetri Martin.

My favorite is easily Lewis Black. No contest.
AFter him would be PAtton Oswalt and then stephen Lynch.
My favorite is probably Jim Gaffigan. Dane Cook isn't bad, either.
Bill Bailey, mainly because he's anti-stand-up.
Jim Gaffigan, by far. I have never laughed so hard.
Mitch Hedberg, hands down.
Probably Pablo Francisco and Ellen DeGeneres. Conan O'Brien is also pretty funny.
There are also some Danish ones called Anders "Anden" Matthesen and Mick ﾘgendahl who are very, very funny.
That is a tough one, my favourites include George Carlin, Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan, Mitch Hedberg, Patton Oswalt, and Demetri Martin.
Eddie Murphy's Raw made me laugh harder than I probably ever have before, so Eddie Murphy. Jim Gaffigan is very good too. Not Dane Cook, he's an overrated bastard.
Dave Chappelle. and Ron White.
I like alot of comics and hate alot of comics. But, Dave Chapelle's stand-up always seems to make me laugh all the time. So he's on the top by far.

Lewis Black was decent until you realized he was just loud and pretended to be an asshole, he's a smart dude though. Ron White is a drunk, as are the rest of those Blue Collar guys.Quote:

Eddie Izzard! :D
I saw Demetri Martin live at the Boulder theater and he was absolutely hilarious. With art, film, music, and of course stand-up under his belt, I think he's my generations best renaissance man.
Dane Cook is hit or miss with me. Some of his stuff splits my sides, other stuff is just stupid.
Oh, and Chris Rock is great. I'm guessing you have to be a little more involved with the black community to get into his stuff, but if you are, he's hilarious.
And of course the classic Seinfeld, Carlin, Hicks, Cosby, and Pryor are amazing.
Gaffigan right now. Hot pocket!
