post YOUR favorite stand up comic

[Ace-o-fire]

edit: forgot to mention henry rollins. he's not quite a stand up comic, he's what i, in a nod to mel brooks, call a stand up philosopher. being from the same part of the country as he is, whenever i get a chance to see him at the birchmere in alexandria or the 9:30 club in dc, he always tells stories about he and ian mckaye doing crazy shit in the early 80s. but i spoke to my best friend who saw him in birmingham alabama the other night, even when not a 'local show,' he's a combination of bill hicks brand of social criticism, while being hysterically funny(my two favorite stories of his are his first ramones concert in falls church virginia and getting caught by tony iommi(sp?) of black sabbath making out with the guitar that iommi used to record iron man)

Thanks for the Henry Rollins stuff. I didnt know he did stand up. Decent stuff too.



Edit: I cant belive I forgot to mention Eddie Izzard too....

Where is he playing at? The Ophium?

[Shuemue]

Oh yeah, Emo Phillips? was pretty funny in a weird kinda way.

[Tiktak]

Easily Jim Gaffigan. I had a friend who thought Dane Cook was the greatest comedian who ever lived, until I let him borrow my Beyond the Pale DVD. Also George Carlin comes close but Jim will always be number one for me.

[Ramor]

Bob Marley (yes, a comedian with the same name)
Zack G.
and this one creepy dead-pan one liner (Mitch Hedberg style, but not the same) I saw on comedy central once, he was a real gnarly guy wearing all black with a real deep voice, was hilarious but I never remembered his name

[Plow]

By the way, I'm glad you capitalized your. I was originally going to post my grandma's favorites, but since it was capped it grabbed my attention to remind me.

Jim Jeffries

Fanuel Hall.

AM I the only one who finds Sarah Silverman highly annoying and not funny at all?

Definitely not. I tried to watch her show to see what the hype was about and didn't laugh once. I later tried watching her show with some friends and after about ten minutes we said to hell with it and changed the channel. Ooh wow, she just said something racist! That is just HILARIOUS!

[Myst]
