I actually just saw Jeff Dunham live on Sunday...

IMO, His show was excellent. Not to mention it was 2 1/2 hrs long.

I like the fact that he isn't obsessively vulgar like so many others nowadays.

 

by far my favorite comedian is BRIAN REGAN. That guy is one of the most hilarious people in the world, imo.

 

Lewis Black, Jeff Dunham and Steven Wright are my top 3.

 

Eddie Izzard slays me, not up with the current crop.

Very funny!

 

Several names in this thread that I need to check out.

Brian Regan is my absolute favourite. For those who aren't familiar with him, check out The Epitome of Hyperbole. Broken out into five parts here:

If you like it, there's a lot more on YouTube. 100% clean, 100% hilarious.

BTW don't just listen to the audio...you really have to see his facial expressions for full comedic effect.

 

Saw Jeff Dunham (the other white meat) last week here on Cape Cod 3rd time seeing him packed place laughed our asses off. but.. THE funniest person i've ever seen and also had the pleasure to meet was Rip Taylor. alot of you may remember him from yrs. ago on the Gong Show laughed from start to finish at the show then after a friend and myself were in the bar and he walks in with two guys asked if we saw the show told'm yes he asks to sit with us and had a FEW beers.. he never stopped joking it was like a private show. Thought I'd Pi** myself laughing so much

 

+1 He is certainly my current favourite.

So far nobody but me has said Steven Wright. Care to share your opinions on him?

 

He's funny in a depressing way if that's what your into.

 

Haha, well then I guess I am. Some funny quotes:

"If Dracula can't see his reflection in a mirror, how come his hair is always so neatly combed?"

"I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly."

"Ever notice how it's a penny for your thoughts, yet you put in your two-cents? Someone is making a penny on the deal!"

"All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand."

 

Good stuff!! I have alway's liked him and his humor but I found myself tiring of his demeanor ie delivery.

 

Greg Girlado
George Carlin

Hmmm.. I better find ones that are not sick or dead...

 

Colin Quinn
Greg Giraldo
Jim Norton
Rich Vos
Kieth Robinson
Patrice Oneal
Nick Dipaolo.

That show RULED. Especially the few appearances they had with George Carlin. Wish it was on DVD.

 

For anyone that finds Jeff Dunham funny, I'd recommend a ventriloquist act called "Otto and George".

Absolutely killer comedy but it is most definitely R-rated.

 

Aziz Ansari at the moment. He's coming to the University of Florida's Gator Growl Homecoming pep rally in two weeks. It's the largest student-run pep rally in the US and we regularly get tip notch acts to perform.

 

Adam Carolla has started doing comedy shows. I have listened to a few and they are good. Basically his podcast on stage, not really a canned routine.

Jim Jefferies, hilarious but dirty. Clip is NSFW(language)but is hilarious nonetheless.

 

Rodney Dangerfield, I love how he could make an audience laugh without profanity. His lines were the best!

 

I'm seeing Daniel Tosh on Saturday.

 

I love Jim Gaffigan, got tix for the Oct 8th show in Seattle, should be awesome
