Who are your favourite stand-up comedians and shows?

I personally love Eddie Izzard and Michael McIntyre. But Rhod Gilbert is also amazing. The Youtube link below shows him talking about his luggage problems.

Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly & Mitch Hedberg.

[Pheesh]

Bill Hicks tops my list.

Then there is; Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Bill Bailey and Dane Cook.

Bill Hicks did that thing where he talks about fundamental Christians right? That was damn funny.

[Bunny]

Brian Posehn, Daniel Tosh, Demetri Martin, Eddie Izzard, Eugene Mirman, George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, Patton Oswalt, The Sklar Brothers, Stephan Lynch, and Steven Wright.

I like well-timed dick jokes.

Bill Hicks and George Carlin top my list by far. Patton Oswalt's pretty good too.

I need to listen to moar stand-up

Mitch Hedberg, Demetri Martin, Lewis Black, George Carlin, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Lynch.

Eddie Izzard is brilliant.

I really like Kathy Griffin and Ellen DeGeneres as well, and Ricky Gervais is funny too.

Also, people like Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy were also great stand-up comedians back when they were still doing it.


When it comes to Danish stand-up comedians I like Christian Fuhlendorff the most.

Lee Evans.

I was also a fan of Robin Williams when he used to do stand-up (though I do still love him in films).

[Iceglow]

Russell Howard live is hillarious as is Sean Locke and Dara O' Brien

[Laddy]

I like Ellen Degeneres a lot, but Bill Cosby is eternally my favorite. Steven Wright and George Carlin are also favorites.

[Levian]

Anne Kat Hærland is my favorite, although she's not very non-norwegian. ;o

Jimmy Carr and Mitch Hedberg, mostly.

I agree with Breine that Kathy Griffin and Ellen are funny. You should see Celebrity Mole, Breine. Kathy is a host and contestant there and it's just hilarious. I'm pretty sure it's all on youtube.

I most definitely will! Thanks for the tip

My Life on the D-List is also great fun.

EDIT: Her stand-up shows "Balls of Steel" and "Kathy Griffin Does The Bible Belt" are also on youtube.

Ellen is my favorite female stand up comedian.

I went to see my boy Coco at his "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On TV" tour and Deon Cole did a stand up act and he had people falling over. Seriously, this guy was hysterrrical. Love love loved him. I like Dave Chappelle to but more for his sketches than for his stand up act.

Oh,

Jerry Sadowitz too.
