Who loves standup comedy?? Comment your favorites!!
George Carlin has it hands down for me!
I'd have to say my top faves are Tom Segura, Hannibal Burress, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, and Bill Burr.
I just attended the WellRED Comedy Tour last Saturday, 3 really good comics. The most well known being Trae Crowder from his "Liberal Redneck" rants / clips on YouTube.
Also, I saw Carlin in the mid 90's at the Flint Center in Cupertino and that f*cker practically killed me. I was actually doubled over, coughing and gasping for air. Which reminds me, if I die, I wanna die laughing.
George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Rita Rudner, Ellen Denegernes, Bill Maher, Wanda Sykes, Woody Allen, Tommy Tiernan.
You should be laughing everyday. It's the best medicine!
All time favorite is Rodney Dangerfield. Carlin, Hicks, Gervais, Stanhope, Jim Jeffries, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Sarah Silverman, Todd Glass, Norm MacDonald, Jackie Kashain, are all way up there.
I love it and watch several a night on Netflix to get through my dinner chores.
Lately, I've been loving the Middle East comedian shows. Here's few I just watched:
Aditi Mittal: Things They Wouldn't Let Me Say
Vir Das: Abroad Understanding
Ahmed Ahmed: Just Like Us
It would have to be richard pryor hands down.
no tabbo was sacred to him.
and lenny bruce if any body remembers him was a close second.
Like everything else in life there is a prime moment. Cheech 'N Chong comes to mind! Some die before the act goes stale like Sam Kennison. Of course Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy in their Prime. Everybody was born to tell one joke! Seen a lot of good comedy... saw a female do a bit on vegans.... how healthy they feel while looking like a corpse, maybe greatest understated bit I ever saw. Not good with names but saw a fat baldheaded guy leave the stage with his imitation of a bowling ball about 20 years ago. My ex gf turn me to this young comedian pretty awesome, a last comic standing alumni. (Dont watch TV) but can't come up with name right now. Some Female Stand Ups earned my laughs and respect. Pardon me for not seeing carlin in a god's light.
