What's your favorite comedian? Mine has to be Billy Connolly...but who is yours?

Aw man, there are so many good ones out there. Off the top of my head, I can say I easily let off several roaring loud belly-laughs when watching Dave Atell do standup. I'll probably think of somebody who I like better later, but he's definatley one to watch whenever you get the chance.

Jon Stewart, or Steven Lynch. Though Lynch is really more of a musical comedian. There are more, but those are some of my favorites.

I posted a few in the Best British Comedy's thread, but just to update (after all if I'm to lazy to look up the thread to provide a link, I can't complian if you lot are the same. )

As well as 'the big yin', I like Lee Evans, Bill Bailey, Jack Dee, Phil Jupitus, Eddie Izzard, Ken Dodd, Dylan Moran, Ed Burns, Lucy Porter, Richard Pryor, George Carlin. The best of that lot, depends on what i'm looking for at the time, probably Eddie Izzard though, with 'the big yin' a close second.

Tie between Dennis Miller and Dennis Leary.

Dave Attell is up there. So's Jon Stewart and Lewis Black.

Leary and Miller and the late Sam Kinnison

Damn forgot about Leary, and Bill Hicks for that matter. D'oh!

George Carlin, Eddie Izzard, Robin Williams, Jim Breuer.

Jim Gaffigan too, but he's not exactly a megastar.

Jim Breuer?
( and damn it, I forgot about Williams stuff from the late eighties early Nineties, D'oh)

American comedian. Played one of the four stoners in Half Baked. Easily identifiable since he ALWAYS looks stoned. He's the goatboy.

That would be old age setting in, Rob. I'll have to get Lee to keep an eye on you

But he's older than me. It would be "The Senile leading the Senile" there.

Don't think I've seen Half Baked, so I'll just have to go on not knowing him.

Damn man, I have GOT to get you a live-in nurse.

No? Too bad. It was a funny movie, but I don't think it was released outside of the US.

Conan O'Brien

HERETIC!!!

Go forth and rent it immediatley! That is a hilarious movie! Save yourself!!!

George Carlin, just to pick one as being the best. But there are so many good ones out there.

Jim Breuer looking appropiately stoned for the senile Mr. Wilson.

He looks both stoned and possessed

He was in Nashville a few months back, I think. I shoulda gone to see him.

I think my favorite is probably either Nick Swardson or Dane Cook. I also like Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brian, Will Ferrel, Brian Regan, Mitch Hedberg, Cheri Oteri...and a lot more.

And no one's mentioned Gallagher, why? Watermelon Smashing=t3h 31337 PhUnN3y!

Jim Breuer grew up like ten minutes from where I live. Valley Stream is right next to my town.

Oh, I get it, this is more twisted sarcasm, like your Hitler avatar, right? Please be joking.
