Standup Comedians

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

yea, Dane Cook sucks.

Anyway, I seriously doubt you know 100, let alone 50, comedians.

bump. sorry. thought i'd share.
i love zach galifianakis, but i seem to be alone on this one.
patton oswalt. mitch fatel, although i don't know how long he can keep up this whole "retarded but not really retarded" deal. daniel tosh won my heart with his waverunner bit, but i haven't heard anything from him recently.

i also do not understand why joe rogan decided to do standup.

Louis CK. No one comes close IMO. Exactly my taste of humor. Everything he says is hilarious.

Except for me. (And Colin...see: the first page.)

And I know of at least two other NLSC frequenters who at least tolerate him.

Because he thinks he's funny and add to the fact that he's capable of kicking a person's ass that doesn't think he's funny.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

Bill Hicks anyone? For me, he's the best comedian of all time.

Best living comedians are Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Demetri Martin

Yeah i'd say I have only 2 reasons to believe Bill Hicks isnt the greatest of all time (although he's in my top 5).
1. With all his albums: he repeats himself alot, its like he came up with some really good material 1 time and never really changed it.
2. He seems very bitter about his station in life (he constantly alludes to how much it sucks and all that)...that gets to me. You have to be pretty damn lucky to make a living doing stand up

Bumping this to say that I discovered Tim Minchin on YouTube a couple of weeks back, and lost hours of the ensuing days. The guy is just awesome. Even managed to considerately schedule a show in Perth last Wednesday, not a week after I found out about him. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, or Newcastle: go buy tickets.

Thought i'd mention Katt Williams. I find his stuff pretty hilarious. Was lucky enough to see Pablo Fransisco earlier this year when he came to Sydney. Some familiar jokes he mentioned, and some new ones, nonetheless, this guy is crazy. Some others to mention.....Dave Chappelle, Russell Peters, Eddie Murphy.
