To be honest, he really didn't grab my attention like most stand-up comedians I like. I just think there are alot better stand-up performers out there.

that's who i was gonna say. but then it's one of those you couldn't show to anyone else cause they wouldn't find it funny.

it's a certain humour you know.

Mitch Hedberg, Dane Cook, Mitch Fatel... a few others i cant remember names right now.

Neil Hamburger

lewis black is fucking hillarious.

Tracy Morgan.....those other people that I can't remember right now.

Mitch Hedberg and Sarah Silverman... great stuff

Wow, nobody has mentioned Bill Cosby. Anyone ever seen "Bill Cosby...Himself"? Classic concert film. You don't have to say the "7 dirty words you can't say on television and radio" in order to be funny.

Also while techinally not stand-up comedians, these two are brilliant at what they do:

I'll be kind in correcting you sir, but I did mention Bill in my first list that I made for this thread. I grew up w/ Bill's comedy. I always remember listening to his LP's w/ my father & laughing @ such a unique type of humour.

But, I grew up w/ a weird comedic upbringing. I grew up, along w/ Bill, Cheech & Chong (@ a vrey young age) George Carlin, etc. Just outreagous comedians that a little 6 year old kid shouldn't be listening to.

So you did, I stand corrected, and am humble enough to admit my mistake, but for the rest of you....shame!!! J/K

Seinfeld, yo. And Peter Kay.

I love Carlos Alazraqui, Dave Attell, Arj Barker, Tod Barry, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Ian Black (of Stella), Jim Breuer, Bruce Bruce, Frank Caliendo, Dana Carvey, Dave Chappelle, Cheech & Chong, Louis CK, Dane Cook (before he got super famous and all shticky and annoying), Bill Cosby (younger), Otis Lee Crenshaw, Sean Cullen, Rodney Dangerfeild (R.I.P.), Jim David, Adam Ferrara, Pablo Francisco, Judah Freidlander, Zach Galifianakis, Jim Gaffigan, Paul Gilmartin, Bobcat Goldthwait, Gilbert Gottfried, David Allen Grier, Eddie Griffin, Christopher Guest, Darrell Hammond, Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.), Vanessa Hollingshead, Bob Hope (R.I.P.), Jeremy Hotz, Gabriel Iglesias, Dom Irrera, Kevin James (I hate King of Queens but his stand up is great), Richard Jeni, Anthony Jesilnik, The Amazing Johnathan, Jackie Kashian, Andy Kaufman (R.I.P.), Scott Kennedy, Dwayne Kennedy, Laura Kightlinger, Laurie Kilmartin, Lynne Koplitz, Elvira Kurt, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Stephen Lynch, Norm MacDonald, Marc Maron, Demitri Martin, Sabrina Mathews, Regie McFadden, Kevin Meaney, Jay Mohr, Paul Mooney, Tracy Morgan, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Nealon, B.J. Novak, Ardal O'Hanlan, Patton Oswalt, Tammy Pascatelli, Dat Phan, Brian Posehn, Greg Proops, Richard Pryor (R.I.P.), Chris Rock, Gregg Rogell, Jeffrey Ross, Michael Showalter (of Stella), Sarah Silverman, Randy and Jason Sklar (of The Oblongs), Slovin and Allen, Stella, Jon Stewart, Nick Swardson, Christopher Titus, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (yes, I know he's not real and that he is controlled by Robert Smigel, but I still consider him a seperate entity because everyone always looks at the puppet when they get insulted), Charlie Viracola, David Wain (of Stella), Harland Williams, Robin Williams, Lizz Winstead and Stephen Wright. To just name a few.

I'm going to guess this is not the first time this list has been made, it being in alphabetically order and all... but that's just a hunch... :)

Brian Posehn is really good. Doesn't have a whole lot of stand-up stuff to go by, though.

When did Mitch Hedberg die? How did he die? He was a pretty good comic from the few television appearances I've seen him on. I guess since he was mostly a stand-up comic and didn't get a chance to do tv or films or not much at any rate, he never became a household name.

Oh and Dave Attell.

Gilbert Gottfried
