I can’t believe Steven Wright has only had one mention so far. He rocks. No one has his style. No one comes close, IMO.

He has got some funny shit.

some good contemporary stuff would be Rodney Carrington or the bloodhound gang (twisted but funny).[/quote]

Once by accident I put my car keys in the front door of my apartment, and it started up. So I took it for a drive. I was pulled over and the cop asked me where I lived, I said here.

I like Brian Reagan too.

Have a nice flight…“You too!”“”

I was going to name exactly the same two, but with the clear nod to Lewis in the number one slot. He’s hi-fucking-larious!!!

How bout Louis Black an Larry the cable guy[/quote]

Gilbert is very underrated. He only has one DVD out though and its very short. He was really good on Stern and I recently heard him on Penn’s noew show and he was hilarious!

Jeffrey Ross always gets a laugh out of me, but I don’t think he has an album.

Either way, I second the nomination for Bill Hicks.[/quote]

Hicks was funny as hell also. Too bad his life was cut short. He was a very funny man.

I’m not sure that he a CD out, and he’s kinda left field here, but.

Bob Sagget

Don’t let the lame tv shows fool you. Live he is the raunchiest, dirtiest comedian I’ve seen.

I will add my votes for

Brian Regan
Jim Breuer
Sinbad

DB

Ross Noble

“every time i just keep thinking about monkeys”

Billy Connolly

http://www.billyconnolly.com/ the incontinance pants sketch in “Billy and Albert” is awesome

Ron White. This guy is a riot. I only hope though he finds this site one day soon before he topples over with a heart attack.

Jim Breuer is frickin hilarious!

black
chapelle

sure, others are good, but you gotta draw the line somewhere[/quote]

I gotta second Dave Chapelle, one of the best stand up routines I have heard, actually really surprised me how good it was…listened to it a few years back. Chris Rock as well, his latest one is hilarious - Never Scared.

Dave Chapell

I forgot to mention Eddie Griffin. I must admit that there were times when I had racist thoughts toward certain groups… His video made me laugh it off and see how stupid I was being. It’s like he said “it’s just over some bullshit”. When he goes over what’s going through a white man’s head when they see a black dude and vice versa. Needless to say he has made me a better person inside. The video is called Voodoo Child.

          take care,
                     tin can

Dave Chappelle and Brian Reegan.
