Eddie Izzard's special where he opened up with saying how he's a transvestite was gold ("Do you have a FLAG?"). Goerge Carlin in general is great (though I agree with a lot of his points, he does get a bit preachy at times). Mitch Hedberg I also really enjoyed when he was around (any one can tell that I love his kind of humor). There are others, but it's more of me being a fan of certain stand-up bits rather than a single person.

There's been a couple of times I was told that I should be a stand-up comedian. To shut them down I stood up and told the
"chicken crosses the road joke" or just said something horribly awkward then slowly sat back down.

I have no problem with him and I enjoyed that show of his, but his smile looks like he stabbed someone in the ass and is real happy about it.
