Who is your favorite Comedian?



Martian Lawrence still on

Mitch Hedberg

“I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
“An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.”

russell peters.

LOL...


My favorite of all time is probably Martin Lawrence. If we're talking about who I think is really good at standup though I could watch Katt Williams all day.

I'd usually say Jimmy Carr. He's a machine when it comes to putting out thousands of one-liner jokes, and his crowd work is incredibly quick and witty, but he is a bit more quantity over quality sometimes.

Lately I've been really digging James Acaster's netflix stuff. There's something about clean comics that I respect a lot more because it's a lot harder to pull off humor with topics that aren't seen as edgy

Oddly enough, both british dudes. Outside of that: Bill Burr, Jerrod Carmichael, Mitch Hedburg, Dave Chappelle, Brian Regan to name a few, but I could go on forever.

Martian Lawrence is also solid

Amy Schumer

Saw Brian Regan live I nearly died. The girl next to me was dying too and I used every moment of it brush my knee against hers.

LOL... A lot of people dont like her. She dissed Patrick O'Neal in a roast and it was solid but very mean.

Kevin Hart...

Very solid list. James Acaster is great. Mitch is iconic.

I'd probably say Bill Burr, but it changes.

yea burr is above everybody and has been for a minute

my favorite up and comer is shane gillis.

it all depends tho, straight standup is different, cuz i love a ton of comedians from podcasts but don't care much for their stand up.

robert kelly, big jay oakerson, ari shaffir, tom segura, joey diaz, mark normand, chris distefano, rich vos, there are a ton.

im trying to think of just standup though. most these dudes are just funny in life tho. like bobby lee. theo von.

i enjoy comedians. just scrolled up and seen chappelle and regan of course. not sure how i forgot them. dave attell is also the fucking man, louie is a genius i wasn't feeling his last special much but word

How the fuck has no one mentioned Chappelle? That dude just got the Mark Twain lifetime achievement award for comedy. Dude's the GOAT.

They did nigga, scroll upwards...Answer mentioned Chapelle.

Oh... I missed that.

I'm pissed @ myself for not mentionin' him lol...

Doug Stanhope is hilarious, pouring beer on himself.

@Answer can we change this thread to Canadians Thread?

All of this

Bill Burr is probably the best current comic out there. Mitch Hedberg is a personal favorite too. “I find that ducks opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread.”

Genius.
