Stand Up Comedians

Stand Up Comedians
Have any favorites? I've been on a kick recently. I've watched nearly everything Chris Rock, George Carlin and Dave Chappelle have to offer, so those 3 are my favorites as if now, but I'm looking for others. Any ideas? I do like some Williams and Pryor too, but have only seen one of each of their specials. It is odd because I didn't think I was big on stand up, but I guess I was wrong.

I used to watch stand up on comedy Central. I like Ron White, Gabriel Iglasias, some of Jeff Dunham's puppet acts, and a few other people. Some are hit or miss, like Lewis Black and his "if it weren't for my horse" skit, or that guy that complained that computers tell him when they can be shut down, unlike his car. I can only imagine he pulls into his drive at 25+ miles an hour.

Stand up can definitely be fun.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I've never been big on stand-up. I'm a bit grinchly. But I liked Dennis Miller before he went to the Elephants.

Oh yeah, Louis C.K. was in my list already for this week. I'll check out the others, one at a time. I do like Bill Maher too, but didn't know he had stand up specials.

Me either until this week. I liked them kinda, but never enough to watch an entire special until recently. I like Eddie Murphey, but his early stuff bleeds with homophobic acts so that isn't exactly funny to me.
