Stand-up comedians
My brother used to be a fan of Mitch Hedberg. He died without ever seeing him. So, when John Pinette came to mighty Dayton, Ohio we had to go see him for my brother. Guy was hysterical. I knew he was before that but man, to see him live, was just a riot. Not to mention, compared to many comments, his routine was pretty clean in terms of language, etc. An hour of comedy and maybe 10 cuss words.
Who are some of your favorite stand-ups? My list: Lewis Black Dennis Miller Robin Williams Nick DiPaolo |

Recently saw DiPaolo in DC, great act to see live. He does have a podcast for those who didn't know. I stumbled upon Demetri Martin on comedy central and couldn't stop laughing, I'd love to see him live, but isn't he only in NYC?
Mitch Hedberg was great, too bad I never got to see him do a standup performance live. I have also seen Lewis Black a few times live, he is a great comedian to see as well. I'd love to catch Louis CK live. Some musical comedians to see would be Stephen Lynch or the Flight of the Conchords.

I like Tim Hawkins. He is probably unknown to most of you. He is a Christian Comedian. 100% clean. But he is very funny. He does parodies of songs and they are hilarious. If anyone is interested, go to Timhawkins.net. There are free promos on his dvs's and some clips from his cd's.

Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Lewis Black, Chris Rock, Eddie Izzard, George Carlin, Bill Hicks
Mitch Hedberg had his moments as well. I still wish that I had discovered Hicks before it was too late to ever get a chance to see him live. I have been able to see Izzard,Black, and Hedberg live

Bill Hicks, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Eddie Izzard, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, George Carlin (no order here)
"Feelin Kinda Patton" is by far, one of the best standup CDs recorded.

George Carlin is probably the best of all time. Chris Rock is the best working today.
Beyond that, if you miss Hedberg you should definitely check out Dmitri Martin. Louis CK is good, as is Dave Attel. Lewis Black is always good. If you want something political, check out Dennis Miller and Bill Maher. I've liked what little I heard from Jim Gaffigan. David Cross is funny in that "not all that funny but still funny" way. All the Blue Collar guys are good, although Ron White is the only one people will admit to liking for some reason.

I saw Mitch Hedberg, Dave Attel, and Lewis Black in New Orleans a couple years ago and that was a great show. Mitch is one of my favorites- I also like Brian Posein (sp?), and I don't know if you can really consider him stand-up since he plays the guitar but Stephen Lynch is funny as hell in a very sick sort of way.

I saw a Bill Engvall stand up special on Comedy Central a few months ago. He was funny, but it's the only stand up of his that I saw so I can't say I like him or not.

Cross, Silverman, Hedberg, Rock, DiPaolo, CK, Attell...a few others as well.
I was lucky enough to catch Hedberg a few months before he died. Great show.

No love for Steven Wright? I love his stand up routines.
At the other end of the spectrum, I was a huge Sam Kinison fan as well.

I have seen a couple of funny comedians come through the comedy clubs in my area. The one that took me most by surprise, and probably the hands down best show I saw was Bobcat Goldwaithe. He was really sharp with his crowd interaction and improv.
Jim Gaffigan was pretty funny. I also saw Charlie Murphy and Ashy Larry. I got to shake Ashy Larrys hand and get a picture with him after the show which was pretty cool. |

Steven Wright, Eddie Murphy (in the day), Bill Cosby, and George Carlin. No doubt are the 4 funniest cats.

The people who are listing Dennis Leary might be interested in some of his earlier work, when he was called Bill Hicks.

Jim Gaffigan is current at the top for me. Though I like Jerry Seinfeld, Lewis Black, and Eddie Izzard a lot as well.
