Favorite stand up comedian

[Misono]

To revisit the thread, I'll add Adam Hills. Known of him since before he got his break in the UK, and again a nice guy. At a gig I saw of his, he ordered an awful lot of pizza for people at the end of the gig, as well as happily chatting with people. On another occasion, he apparently offered to take the whole audience bowling after the show, in exchange for a charity donation.

He also does show with a sign interpreter on stage for the deaf people, which just adds to the jokes in my view.

They could just as easily go in the "Which Celebs Would You Most Like To Knock Boots With?" thread.

Very offensive, very funny!

A bunch of dead guys, comedians who've been mentioned here already, and dead comedians who've been mentioned here already. So, other than that... Doug Stanhope. He's offensive as fuck, and I feel like I could get a lot of flak from certain people for identifying with him. Which is exactly what I look for in a comedian. He might be a bit TOO much of a crackpot, conspiracy theorist libertarian for me, but it seems to be better than the alternative. I've seen him live repeatedly. The laptop I'm on is slow as fuck, so this is basically one of the first things that came up because I can't load any more, but I'm sure if you click through the internet will provide.

BLESS THIS THREAD
ray: ray: ray:

I can never get enough stand up.
My favorites are John Mulaney, Moshe Kasher, Jim Gaffigan, Louis, god too many. (I also think I'm the only person over 12 who thinks Gabriel Iglesias is hilarious, but I stand by him)
I'm having a problem because I can't find any new comedians that I haven't already passed judgement on.
Also, did you guys know John Mayor is actually hilarious?
He has great standup I just can't find the video.

Also Kaylee yes to Eddie and Patton, both so great!

Also, did you guys know John Mayor is actually hilarious?

I've seen a video of him and he was great! I think he was on a cruise ship in the video I saw?

Anyways, my top 10 still living favorites: Doug Stanhope, Louis CK, Bill Burr, Ari Shaffir, Jim Norton, Jim Jefferies, Kevin Hart, Patton Oswalt, Jim Gaffigan, and Joey Diaz.
Dead favorites: Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, Mitch Hedburg, Patrice O'Neil, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and Lenny Bruce.

Only one mention of Izzard? Damn... And the preview video got blocked for copyright too...

Admittedly, I cannot stand comedians who just joke about celebs and pop culture, especially since most of those subjects are so recycled. Eddie talks a lot about history and religion.







I like some of Gervais' stuff, especially the anal sex leaflet set:

Yes Bill Burr!
His newest special "I'm sorry you feel that way" was just for Netflix I think and is pretty great.
