Favorite Stand Up Comedians - Page 3

George Carlin, hands down. I left my 'death bed'

to see Carlin, and it was worth every moment.

Also enjoy Robin Williams, and Monty Python (yes, they did do some live dates in their career.) We've got a copy of Bill Cosby's "Himself" for roadtrips, and it's really funny!

My favorite comedians... not necessarily stand-up, but my favorite funny people.

I adore Dave Chapelle. I first saw him on Leno a few years ago and he was live from the Country Music Awards and it was the funniest thing I've seen on Leno in a long time. I've been such a fan of his since then. HILARIOUS!

I want to marry Jimmy Fallon. Or at least someone like him. I think he's adorable and cute and find him totally endearing. I think he's hilarious and everytime I see him on Weekend Update, he never fails to crack me up. He does the BEST impressions. They're just fabulous. My friends all tell me that they see me marrying someone like Jimmy. Really cute (not like smolderingly sexy, but sexy in his own goofy, adorable way), smart, goofy, adorable and just FUN with a great sense of humor.

Chris Rock cracks me up, too. I'm not so much a fan of his movies (he's had some bad ones), but I love him in interviews and live. He's a riot. And his voice alone is just hilarious. Jimmy does a fantastic impression of Chris Rock, too.

After watching Bruce Almighty last week, I realized how great Jim Carrey is too. He's HILARIOUS. I love his voices and his signature phrases (one in the last part of my signature, too!) and his rubber faces and his physical comedy. Sure he's made some bad movies, but all you need to do is watch him do his thang in Bruce Almighty to reaffirm his hilarity. You may not like the movie, but you can't NOT laugh at some of Jim's parts. I looove him in interviews too! He's crazy and unpredictable and just seems like so much fun. I'd take him over Sandler anyday. I like Jim because his humor is like mine... he does the funny voices, and the funny faces and the classic phrases that I love so much.

Oh, and I'm a big Letterman fan, too. I love his sarcastic, dry wit. So much funnier than Leno.

Brian Regan is the absolute best. I can listen to his cd all the time and still laugh like crazy! I saw him live last fall and he was even better in person!

I like almost every single person listed so far.

Margaret Cho is MY GIRL, she came to Anchorage and there were parts of her act my friends didn't understand as they didn't grow up in San Francisco.

I also really like this one guy off of BET's Comic View, he was on a couple of years ago. Darren Carter. He is this red headed white guy and just cracked me up doing impressions of Bill Clinton using slang. Also about being a white guy and his gang would ride in a Volvo with an "I HEART Soccer" bumpsticker...and they were packing 45..SPF 45. He had us in tears.

Is Mitch Hedberg the one that does the joke: "So you can cook...but can you farm"?

Robin Williams, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy...that's all I can think of right now.

Eddie Izzard. He's a British comedian who is HILARIOUS. You MUST see his special "Dress to Kill." Funniest damn thing I've ever seen.

I don't know if he's still adding tour dates...maybe you could try chekcing out his website or maybe a ticketmaster site? Since there are still a few months before the actual performances, they're probably still scheduling.

I don't know about you, but I'd travel as far as I needed to see him in person!! Madagascar? Done and done. It's Eddie freaking Izzard!!!!!
