Hrm, let's see here... Dennis Leary is easily my favorite stand-up comedian. I know "No Cure For Cancer" was his big comedic hit, and it was damned funny, but I think his 2nd CD "Lock & Load" DESTROYED it. It's just too good, and if you haven't heard it, you're really missing out. Some great musical bits on there too. Anybody that simply dismisses him as a Bill Hicks rip-off doesn't know what they're talking about. Steve Oedekerk was always one of my favorites. He had some of the most bizarre stand-up routines ever. The psychic severed head was always one of my favorites. Then came his movie "High Strung" and it was all over... my favorite movie EVER. Laura Kightlinger. She's a damned good comedian, the only problem I have with her is that she doesn't write enough new material. Whenever she does, it's really funny. I guess she's gotten lazy over the years. The Amazing Johnathan, this guy has an awesome act. If you haven't seen him fuck with people using his magic tricks, do whatever you can to find some of the footage. Twisted guy. Chris Rock, some people like him, some don't. The guy is just a natural when it comes to comedy. Damned funny. Steve Martin... the man is a genius. That's all there is to it. Chevy Chase, say what you want about his shitty role choices for the past 10 years or so, but he RULED the 80s. The vacation movies, caddyshack, spies like us, three amigos, and the almighty Fletch. Dane Cook is definitely a funny bastard. I've only seen two of his stand-up performances but they were quite hilarious. I'd definitely like to see more of his stuff. Henry Rollins, people don't normally think of him as a comedian... but his spoken word shows are 10 times funnier than 99% of the comedians out there. Larry Miller, before he got into movies, he was a stand-up comedian fulltime. To this day, I've never seen a comedian that creates a better atomosphere or who tells better stories. His bit about the different levels of drunkeness was pure gold. Very underrated/underappreciated comic. Amy Poehler & Amy Sedaris. If you need me to explain why these two are comedic gurus... get the fuck off of my site right now. Emo Phillips, the most bizarre comedian out there... but utterly brilliant. Steven Colbert, you've seen him on the Daily Show and in Strangers With Candy... there's not much that this guy can't do. He can have people in absolute hysterics and not even crack a smile. I don't know how the hell he does it. David Cross, how can you not like that blasphemous bastard? Conan O'Brien, great writer and best talk show host ever. Ok that's all for now. -RoG- |

OMG I'm going to see Lewis Black on Monday!!  I don't think cameras are allowed on the Summerfest grounds though, so no pictures.

That's right, the rest is about hilariously large props.

| CastroMotorOil | the sledge o matic is like the last 10 minuets of his act. The rest of his shit is very funny. | |

Smashing watermelons isn't a paying job.

Thank you Gummy Bear... I thought I was going to get to the end of this thread without hearing anyone mention Dane motherfucking Cook. He's my favorite by far. His cd "Harmful if Swallowed" is the best comic cd I own. If you don't know who Dane Cook is, you need to get some of his shit from Kazaa. You'll laugh your ass off. |

It's always funny when comics say stuff back, and it's always disappointing when they don't. That's the only thing I don't like about George Carlin. People are always saying stuff like "YEAH GEORGE CARLIN" and he never acknowledges them. If I was him I would be like "Yeah, OK. Kill yourself".

The funniest part of his act was the stuff that wasn't part of the act. People kept yelling stuff during the entire performance because I go to a school where everybody is drunk all the time, and he kept saying stuff back. That was the best.

| Les Waste | I saw Dave Chappelle live in April. He was great; it was a lot better than his show. I think his show is still really good, but it's hit-or-miss. There are some episodes that I didn't laugh once at, and other episodes are nothing but pure genius skits. | |

For newer comics, I've always found Dane Cook and Jim Gaffigan hilarious. Sarah Silverman is NOT funny. It just seems like she tries way too hard. I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, and she was just annoying. Wanda Sykes and Dave Chapelle do good stand up, but they have terrible shows. |

Lewis Black is hysterical live, he improvises about the first 30 min of hsi act, after that its his planned routine. John Reep is also extremely funny, he is that guy in the dodge commcercials with the drag racing car adn the pickup. Bill Engval is very very funny, "Here's your sign" is a term i use every day Jeff Foxworthy, if just for the redneck jokes And best of all, Gallagher, smart social commentary mixed with hitting shit with a big hammer, it does not get better. |
