Favorite Comedian??

[Sully151]

I am too young to have ever seen him live, but Steve Martin has to be near the top.

Robin Williams in his get day.

Eddie Izzard

Craig Ferguson.

I tend to enjoy comedians that tell a story more than joke after joke with no thru line.

[Chimi]

If we're talking about all time then Eddie Murphy has to be mentioned.

As for current comedians, other than the ones already mentioned a ton of times, I really like Anthony Jeselnik.

Please post some of your favorite bits! I've heard of all these comics, but haven't seen much of them.

One of my favorites was Sam Kenison. And (sorry to the haters), I really like Dane Cook... Of course, I used to watch the Diceman all the time back in college too.

Basically, I'll give any of them a chance tho there's only a few female comedians I can stand (Amy Schumer is one).

Do a search on YouTube for Steven Banks Home Entertainment Center.

Banks, Banks, Banks, Banks, Banks...

"I used to do drugs. I still do but I also used to". He was very funny.

Damn I am embarrassed that I didn't mention him.  George Carlin might be the greatest ever.

[Ochocinco!]

I'll have to admit when i was a wee bit younger i never really knew much about comedy except guys on tv like Mencia and Chappelle. But one day driving with my uncle to an Angel game he had some old Dane Cook CD's. I nearly shit myself the entire way to the stadium. For that reason Dane will always be one of favorites.

[DW711]

It happens, Nate.

 

All these replies and no Jerry Seinfeld. MAYBE Frank Caliendo (Although I like him a lot better imitating Madden or Gruden)?

 

[Ray McKigney]

"I used to do drugs. I still do but I also used to". He was very funny.

 

My favorite line of his is: "Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having."

[TobiasFunke]

He was the king of one liners.

Forgot to put Kinison on my list. RIP

I know Ive seen the one of him and Michael Richards.

[Slegnaac]

That was my best Seinfeld impression

i've had trouble really getting into recent comedians. to me, it doesn't seem like they're on tv as frequently as they used to be - at least, not on the channels or shows i watch.

 

one of my favorite events every year used to be the montreal comedy festival every summer. i think HBO used to televise it, and it was a chance to see some really, really funny people. MTV used to have the half hour comedy hour, which was another great opportunity see comics.

 

i'd like to add steven wright to my list. i also like kathleen madigan and nick dipaulo.

Well I can kind of see it now!

I have a couple of DVDs that are highlight videos from various Montreal Comedy Festivals. This was the first place I saw Kathleen Madigan and John Caparulo, two of the comedians on my list. I first saw Henry Cho on a Country Comics compilation.
