It's been a while since we last had one of these threads.

Lets hear about who your favorite Stand-up comedians are and if you have some links to their shows feel free to share them.

Some classic Stand-up comedy would be guys like Eddie Murphy

and Richard Pryor:

You can never miss Bill Hicks:

Or Dennis Leary

(yeah, yeah, I know supposedly Leary stole Hicks material, I don't care)

Talking about theft, here's Carlos Mancia:

And of course Pablo Francisco. His imitations and soundboard gimmick can get a bit much sometimes though:

Two of my current favorites are Lous CK (no wonder he got divorced after this bit):

And Bill Burr. I can't find any good videos on youtube (I think they deleted all the good stuff) But here he is ranting for 10 minutes at an audience of drunk idiots. He had ten minutes to burn and he just stood up there throwing abuse at them and counting down. He's amazing:

I would rank Dave Chappelle as one of the funniest stand-up comedians of this decade. Shame he quit though.



Frank Caliendo is one of the best impressionists I've seen.



George Carlin is just downright brilliant.

Frankie Boyle.

Scottish stand up, very acerbic, and no topic off limits. Sadly no longer on mock the week, but some of his lines in that show were just genius.

Seconded, here are 5 of his best although to be fair there are loads on youtube including his entire show at the Hammersmith Odeon which is awesome.

This, in my opinion, is still the best Frankie Boyle joke ever:



Another good British Comedian I've discovered is Stewart Lee. For some reason, all though his routine is a bit slow and toned down, there's just something about his style, the syntax, the story he tells that I really like.

There's an entire show with him on youtube. When he really starts going he's hilarious, especially his story about his mom and Tom O'connor:

George Carlin is the motherfuckin' champion. Well, was. But really, a good artist never dies - he just stops giving live performances.

dont have any links but big fan of jim jeffries, his contraband tour was very very funny and dark. one of the most memorable moments of his career was being punche din the face by an irishman in the manchester comedy club which he sent up in his later tours. another classic sketch being where his dad took him and his brothe rto the dump one day where jim (six years old) finds a vibrator that works and his dad tells him its a massage tool and takes it home only to hide it in the shed... wont spoil the punchline but it is a very funny show.

Finally found a show with Bill Burr. They unfortunately bleep out the swearing, but I love this guy. I think it's the New York accent.
