Stand Up Comedy
 

Huge fan of stand up comedy.. my favorites currently are Bill Burr, Jeselnik, and Gary Gulman. Who do you think is the greatest of all time? of right now? Any up and comers I should check out?

Greatest of all time - Carlin/Eddie Murphy (cant choose)
Right now - Bill Burr

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

My all time favorites: Eddie Murphy, Greg Giraldo, and Mitch Hedberg.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Mitch Hedberg
George Carlin

Denis Leary
Chris Rock
Dave Chapelle

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

best all time for me is either Carlin or Hedberg

right now Louis C.K., Bill Burr, Brian Regan, Doug Stanhope stand out. plenty more i'm forgetting i'm sure

Jeselnik is awful. he's just tries to one-up himself on how offensive he can be. he is neither creative nor original. he's also a huge douche IRL

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Louis CK is definitely my favorite current one, and I'd put him up there with my ATF's. Can't believe I forgot to list him. Brilliant.

Saw Chappelle last week and he was hilarious.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Louis CK

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Yeah Im shocked I forgot to mention CK in the OP... Louis CK is definitely up there with the all time greats now..Bill Burr is by far my favorite current comedian

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Louis CK is amazing, love his show too, he's so much more than just comedy.

others im really enjoying right now

doug stanhope
john mulaney
hannibal burres

seinfeld will always be my favorite. he's amazing. to be as funny as he is, for as long as he's been doing it, with basically no vulgarity is amazing.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Hannibal Burress is fantastic, Im seeing him in january

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Which one? There's been about 34 of them.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Louie. on Fx.

if you've never heard it look up John Mulaney's xanax story. 8 minutes of gold.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

K, will report back in 7:48.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Forgot to include Seinfeld in my list. I guess I forgot he did stand up outside of the TV show. :lol

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

:lol

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

I'm soooorrryyyy!

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

how has no one mentioned Pryor?

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

yea Pryor and Cosby were gold back in the day too

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Still never laughed harder at a bit than I did when watching Cosby's dentist bit during Himself.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

yea that's a classic bit :lol

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

That whole routine is simply one of the best ever. From that, to the drinking bit, to the bit about feeding his kids chocolate cake one morning.... sooo funny, and not one bit of it vulgar.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Do other people think Mike Birbiglia is funny?

I kinda do. Haven't heard of any of his stuff in like 2 years though.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

i do but i haven't seen him put out new material in a long time

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

I guess ill add some that haven't been mentioned.

Jim Gaffigan
Eugene Mirman
Ray Romano
Aziz Ansari
Nick Swardson
Ricky Gervais
Norm Macdonald

off the top of my head

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Shout out to Steven Wright.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Im actually listening to this special at work right now (slow day at the firm!) Might be the funniest stand up special Ive ever seen...Cosby is a genius

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Never was a big fan of Aziz, he has had some good bits, but I like him more on tv than as a stand up comedian

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Louis CK still #1 for me. Carlin #1 all time.

The numerous date rapey stories I've read about Cosby over the past year has diminished him for me.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Also love gaffigan and Norm MacDonald. Its too bad that when I saw norm a couple years ago he was drunk out of his mind. It was the second show of a back to back, and he was basically just slurring his words onstage, and then abrupty left. Was still funny tho.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

Hannibal Burress for one of the newer comedians on the rise up. Dude is hilarious.

Can't believe Demetri Martin hasn't been mentioned yet.

Re: Stand Up Comedy
 

You know who really sucks? Christopher Titus. His material is about how today's generation sucks. Ugh. Thanks cranky old dad.
