Best Stand Up Comedian?

[Jayblefty]

I Love stand up comedy! In my opinion George Carlin is King, but my current favorite is Dave Attelle. Just curious if anyone else is into stand up and who they like! So, who is the Best stand up Comedian in your opinion?

 

[Jota21]

Tosh

 

[bernerbrau]

Louis C.K.

 

[Borisbbadd]

George Carlin

 

[bad67z]

Another vote for George Carlin, IMO he could touch every demographic with his humor.

 

[Pappers_]

An old school choice, before my time but I love the videos of him - Jonathon Winters. Way, way ahead of his time.

It's interesting what sort of rotation you get if you put certain comics into Pandora. My favorites all come up on the channel.

Louis CK (if you've been married for more than 5 years and have kids, you'll get it)
Jim Gaffigan
Brian Regan
Daniel Tosh
Chappelle

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm growing so tired of the Blue Collar comedy guys.

Opie and Anthony fan?

Carlin for past comedians.
Pretty much the same list as ucfgavin for current comedians.

Jim Jeffries. He drinks at least a six pack during his stand up.

Just watched Louis CK's Hilarious two nights ago. He's the only stand up comedian I've been able to watch since Eddie Murphy.

If you haven't seen it, his show on FX is pretty genius.

 

[Airborneguy]

We watch every episode, its awesome. It's much better than that first show he had years ago.

 

[hopheaded]

Jim Jeffries. He drinks at least a six pack during his stand up.

Agreed. Great comedian, fun to drink with.

 

[SkyHighBrew88]

Louis CK for sure. I like how he can be real/authentic, yet hilarious. I've also heard he keeps his routines fresh and has a new one every year unlike most.

 

[peaktopview]

mitch hedberg. like many, too young.

 

[Pumbaa]

Carlin
Lewis Black
Titus
. . . what can I say

 

[Bobby_M]

Louis CK for sure. I like how he can be real/authentic, yet hilarious. I've also heard he keeps his routines fresh and has a new one every year unlike most.

It was no surprise to me to hear that Carlin was a role model and staying fresh was an important career goal.

 

[Beerrific]

Mitch Hedberg

 

[BigUgly]

mitch hedberg. like many, too young.

I loved him. He is my all-time favorite.

 

[Wus67]

For me, and it's strictly according to my taste, but I absolutely love watching Eddie Izzard, that guy cracks my sh!t up.

 

[danorocks17]

chappelle. Saw him live when I was a freshman at IU and I swear i've never laughed so hard in my whole life

 

[Beerrific]

Oh, Eddie Izzard is funny too. "Cake or death?"

 

[JohnnyO]

mitch hedberg. like many, too young.

Agreed. Got to see him in NYC just 2-3 weeks before he died. Mitch was awesome.

I also like Brian Regen.

 

[WhineinAlbany]

Titus. His sitcom was one of my favorites. Too bad it was cancelled but kind of expected on Fox.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

mitch hedberg. like many, too young.

Yes.

You want alfalfa sprouts? You're not in the club.
