Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.

The rest are miles behind.

by **Kemp** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:18 pm

My favourites comedians are Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy.

by **AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 9:20 pm

Yes, I forgot about Carey. A hysterical specimen of man, if you ask me...

Carrey's a fine comedian indeed, I love most of his movies especially the early ones. I haven't seen much of his standup act though so I can't really comment on it.

Richard Pryor , Pablo Francisco , Dane Cook

I had actually never seen any of Pryor's stand-up being too young to remember any of it. Comedy Central actually replayed "I ain't dead yet" last night so I was able to watch the first few minutes of it...absolutely hilarious. RIP

I also had the chance to see Ralphie May and Pablo Francisco live here at Virginia Tech. Unfortunately I was a dumbass and thought the standup was on wednesday when it was actually on another day , so I missed out on what was supposed to be some funny stuff.

I think Jim Carrey is hilarious too but has he ever done stand-up?

Dave Chappelle

by **cklitsie** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:57 am

I like Dave Chappelle, but also some dutch stand-up comedians, the best is Theo Maasen, but obviously no one knows him here. :wink:

by **Riot** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:11 am

Mitch Hedberg and Jerry Seinfield

by **Keo** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:43 am

Jerry Seinfeld for sure. I've been a fan for a while and really relate to his comedy.

by **FendeR`** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:51 am

Dane Cook
Dave Chapelle
Lewis Black (I think)
Carlos Mencia
Russell Peters

Dane Cook is problably my favorite because I've been listening to some of his CD's lately, but obviously Chapelle is close.

Jim Carey's okay, I guess ... :mrgreen:

I like Brent Butt, good ol' Canadian humour. Also some guy I saw who told the entire Star Wars story through sound-effects. He has weird lips. I'll find a pic of him to show you.

Corner Gas is fantastic. And I remember the Star Wars dude from Just For Laughs.

by **Cable** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:22 am

Greg Morton aka Star Wars guy

Yeah, Corner Gas kicks ass (I wonder if cy and Legend like it?). I have Season 1 on DVD, it's hilarious. I remembered another one too: Colin Mochrie

by **Jona** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:25 am

I've never seen Colin Mochrie do stand-up, must be hilarious.
