[efwa4life]

Top Ten

10. Tim Wilson

9. Ant

8. Tammy Pescatelli

7. Kathleen Madigan

6. Auggie Smith

5. Bill Cosby (his early stuff)

4. George Carlin

3. Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.)

2. Jim Gaffigan

1. Rodney Carrington

Carrington is by the far the funniest and I really hope his ABC show doesn't get cancelled. And Jim Gaffigan's bit on Hot Pockets is hilarious times ten.

Eddie Izzard and Robin Williams.

Can't believe I forgot Mitch Hedberg, such a shame he died when he died, although I only came to ehar of him since his death. His two CDs are excellent, really funny observational type stuff, and the way he delivers his material is just great.

[steelpony]

An honarable mention goes to Jeff Durham... Who cares if he's a ventriloquist he's still hilarious... And How can you forget Larry The Cable Guy... And Carlos Mencina... He is FREAKIN Hilarious!!! That's just a few of mine...

[GhostMachine]

Right now, Jim Gaffigan.

I'll list a comedian I wish would be recognized more like Vince Morris, who I think has the potential to have a good tv show. I think he has that type of act that translates well to the small screen like Seinfeld, Romano, James, and the rest. He isn't my favorite, but I would like to get his name out there more.

I'm a fan of his as well. His Comedy Central Presents showing intrigued me, and everything I've heard since is solid. Likewise, he's not my favorite, but if he was in town performing, I'd go check it out.

Regarding my absolute favorite, it is Lewis Black. He is the closest thing the mainstream has to a Bill Hicks-esque persona. Not only does he disagree, he EXPLAINS why he disagrees, and does so while being insanely funny.

[Lowerdeck]

Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, George Carlin

[The Slickman]

Peter Kay, Jack Dee and Bill Bailey.

If you consider JLC stand up he is my favourite though. Another thing Female stand ups that are even half attractive are not funny in the slightest. Joe Brand and the old woman that has had all the plastic surgery are ok but I was watching World Stands Up on Paramount and some hot woman was on it and I couldnt laugh because I was too busy staring at her breasts.

[EddieG]

Peter Kay, Pablo Francisco, Najib Amhali (Dutch comedian)

[paulbd]

Mitch Hedberg (RIP) and Dane Cook are the only two I really listen to.

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

I've developed a man-love for Dylan Moran recently. His stuff is just so sarcastic and seemingly hateful, it's wonderful. Ross Noble is another that I've loved for a long time and I'm so glad that he's finally gaining some fame because, he deserves it.

[IAceI]

Lee Evans is my favourite I'd say, I need more comedians to watch/listen to though to be fair. Although I have all 6 of Lee Evans DVD's which are just sheer brilliance.

Bill Bailey is great with his Part Troll, and when he's on stuff like QI and Nevermind the Buzzcocks he's just hilairious to listen to.

I don't mind Peter Kay because like Mudda say, he's funny in a family sort of way, but he's way overrated because everyone thinks "OMG PETER KAY! FUNNIEST PERSON EVER" when they haven't heard any others.

Like I said, I need to get some more stuff.

[ClaRK! Kent]

Dylan Moran is fuckin' excellent. He's an all-around genius, in fact. There's nothing that man can't do ten times better than any other idiot trying to do it.

Best. Angry. Man. Ever.

I say Steven Lynch again, in the hope of drumming up some Lynch love.

[therockbox]

Al Murray, Dara O' Brien and Peter Kay. I've seen all of them live, and they're all brilliant.

[fineintent]

Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinnison, Dylan Moran or Sean Lock.

[probablyoliver]

Dara O'Brien, Dylan Moran, Ross Noble and that Iranian guy whose name I can't pronounce.

Yeah... I just find accents hilarious.

I'm not a huge fan of American comedians, but Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg are very, very funny.
