Stand Up Comedy

[Maz7006]

I wanted this to be a Poll, but considering the mass number of comedians out there, it would just be silly.

Anyway, been watching a load of stand up comedy lately, so far I've watched everything i could 'get my hands on' for:

a-George Carlin

b-Lee Evans

c-Nemr Abou Nassar

d-Russell Peters

e-Sugar Sammy

Just thought that if some people would be kind enough post up their favorites so that i can expand my entertainment

 

[Domination]

Does this guy count?

 

[Maz7006]

He's a Ventriloquist i.e NO

so without his little puppets, he isn't funny at all.

I really didn't like his performances, but people got really hyped up about that achmed thing

 

[The Guardian]

well technically he is a comedian, but no he isn't funny.


Edit: oh yeah, Mitch Hedburg and Louis C.K.

 

[Domination]

I like Walter more than Achmed, really. Achmed may be a little funny, but its racist.

But wikipedia says he is a ventriquolist and stand-up comedian!

I don't really watch stand up comedies, oh well. Any funny ones that can be found free online?

Wow WildWon, guess i have a load of work to do

 

[Szyslak]

WildWon's list is really good, and I would probably add Steven Wright. One of my personal favs.

Oh hell, how could i forget him! Added to my list.

There's a LONG list of GOOD stand-up names that i didn't include, if nothing more than forgetfulness. If more pop into my head, i'll continue adding.
There's TONS of great stand-up out there, and i'm an absolute sucker for alt-comedy lol.

I actually like Dane Cook's stand up comedy.

Ahhh, too bad he's gone

"When an escalator breaks, it's not actually broken... it becomes a stair" (or something along that line).

 

[jphriendly]

-Richard Pryor
-Eddie Murphy (Back when he really WAS funny)

Demetri Martin is the funniest person alive!

My favorite is definitely Ross Noble. For any australians that watched Good News Week on Monday, he was fucking brilliant.
