Who is your favorite Stand-Up Comedian?

[PHNINE]

I love stand-up comedy. I have been to the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal two years in a row now. It is a real art to crack jokes on stage in front of people. Through the years, which one is your favorite?

Jonathan Winters always cracked me up.
He's taught them all.

 

[Dewalt]

Bill Hicks, hands down. Years ahead of his time, too bad he died in the 90's. Every comedian to ever come after him that tried to be cleverly abrasive were just getting sloppy seconds.

I highly recommend downloading some of his stuff from limewire.

Chris Rock

 

[baltimoron]

Steven Wright (when he was new)
Eddie Murphy (when he was new)
Seinfeld (whenever he gets around to doing stand-up)
George Carlin
Jay Leno
Bill Maher (has the occasional zinger, but is better at his other routines)

These are the only ones I can name. The new guys are fun to watch but I can never remember their names.

P.S. PH9, did you hobby in MTL?

 

[Diode]

George Carlin (sp)
The seven words you can't say on TV....
or...the most common seven words on TERB

In recent times to Montreal, I have always brought an Sp from Toronto to Montreal instead of hobbying there.

You forgot Deniss Miller, you filthy Bastard!!!!

 

[baltimoron]

Yes, Dennis Miller is one of my favorites as well. Forgot about him, probably, because his HBO show got canned.

I don't like Dennis Miller. I think he has his moments, but I am not that big of a fan.

1000 more and you qualify for a 3-some with Goober and another mod of your choice, or so I've been told

Dennis Leary, especially No Cure for Cancer routine

 

[Pedro Sanchez]

Earthquake, very funny guy.

 

[frankcastle]

Cosby in the 70s was great. I marvel at the fact that he could be so funny yet keep it clean. I'd love to see him do a blue routine.

Chris Rock is my current fav. I like that he can be harsh and raunchy but he manages to throw in a bit of social commentary.

It's not quite stand up but what do you guys think of Henry Rollins spoken word stuff? It can be funny at times.

 

[james t kirk]

Chris Rock and Robin Williams in a tie.

Carlin, Leary, Murphy (a long time ago)

Can't stand Dennis Miller. He's beyond washed up.
