Looking for good stand up comedy

[MightyJordan]

A few have already been said in here, but I'll post a video for each one...

Lee Evans

Michael McIntyre

Dara O'Briain

Jimmy Carr

Lee Mack

If you like watching a drunk rambling Australian, then Jim Jefferies:

If you like musical comedy, then...

Bill Bailey

and Tim Minchin

And if you want controversial but hilarious comedians, two instantly come to mind...

Frankie Boyle

BTW, he's using his "lighter" material in this show. It's much better in his live DVDs. :)

and Jim Davidson

Once again, lighter stuff. There isn't much of Jim Davidson on YouTube due to his controversial nature, but personally, I still find him hilarious.

[MightyJordan]

A few more...

Roy "Chubby" Brown

A bit like Jim Davidson, but with much more swearing.

Al Murray

You might not like him, as his material is mostly patriotic, but you never know. :p

Andy Parsons

Rhod Gilbert

Stephen K Amos

Stewart Francis

[medium_pimpin]

Jim Gaffigan

Mitch Hedberg

Christian Finnegan

Eddie Izzard

Brian Regan

Doug Benson

Ralphie May

Brian Posehn

Demetri Martin

Greg Giraldo

Jeff Ross

Mike Birbiglia

Classics:

Bill Hicks

George Carlin

Dara ? Briain

A bit like Jim Davidson, but with somehow even more of a bigoted and obnoxious ****.

Fixed that for ya :D

PS: Happy birthday, medium_pimpin

Lee Evans!

One of the funniest men ever and should come with a health warning! Going to see him in August in Bournmouth. :yes:

[REM2000]

Ben Elton, i still find his satire incredibly funny,

Alot has already said but ill recommend anyway,

Eddie Izzard - mainly early stuff, the later stuff like Sexy wasn't as good

Lee Evans :- any and all they are really good

Jack Dee :- especially his early stuff, but most of it's great

Stephen K Amos :- not really what i would consider Laugh so hard milk comes out of your nose, but amusing and good to watch

Bill Bailey Funny / great

[vincent]

Well so i've watched all of george carlins HBO specials... He was awesome if not teh best!.. So far i've also watched:

Dave Chapelle (close contender).

Robin Williams

Chris Rock kinda meh...

But as usual, I need MOAR! So what are your recommendations.

Watch some routines by John Pinnette, he's great

[Bubbabyte]

My favorite has to be Louis CK

co-signed!!!

anything by louis ck is genius

Edit: also joe rogan!!!

[inferniac]

Jimmy Carr!

+1 he's hilarious, try some Bill Maher too ;)

NSFW language

[t_r_nelson]

Doug Stanhope

Kathleen Madigan

[Charisma Veteran]

Jimmy Carr!

+1, this was going to be my top suggestion. God he's brilliant.

Also... Billy Connolly, Kathleen Madigan, Frank Caliendo, and John Caparulo. These are all different types of comics, so if you don't like one, maybe you will another. I enjoy all these :D

[Draconian Guppy]

Wow! A lot more responses than I expected! Alrighty! ATM at work, i'll give a thorough research ( by viewing youtube clips) at home! :D

Keep 'em coming neowin!

[IceBreakerG]

Someone already mentioned him, but I'd give another vote for Kevin Hart. I'd also recommend the following:

Eddie Murphy

Earthquake

Steve Harvey

Martin Lawrence

Bill Engvall

Jeff Foxworthy

Ron White

There's probably a bunch of others, I just can't think of them right now.

[Dusco25]

Mitch Hedberg (Dead) and Jon Reep.. Lavell Crawford and Ralphie May is good to.

[Dusco25]

[Kreuger]

Tim Minchin

Agreed. He's awesome.

Jim Gaffigan

Mitch Hedberg

Christian Finnegan

Eddie Izzard

Brian Regan

Doug Benson

Ralphie May

Brian Posehn

Demetri Martin

Greg Giraldo

Jeff Ross

Mike Birbiglia

Classics:

Bill Hicks

George Carlin

These are some of the best.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Lewis Black.

Bill Maher

is pure genius.

[tazzeh]

Not sure if Sean Locke has done some standup but he makes me laugh so much on 8 out of 10 Cats.

[MightyJordan]

Oh he has. :) He's done two live DVDs so far, and he's been on Live at the Apollo:

[shakey]

It's the White Whale of Stand Ups..... Howie Mandel on Ice. If you can find it, you will laugh till your ass bleeds ( inside joke from the stand up :p ) Truly a great stand up that seems to almost be totally unavailable to buy anywhere except for http://howiemandel.com/store.html

[rathefeare]

Eddie Murphy Delirious

Eddie Murphy Raw

IF you don't mind profanity. Eddie Murphy used to be a very edgy guy.

[Draconian Guppy]

aight folks, went thru almost all recomendations.

Currently looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Greatest_Stand-Ups

But it's kinda hard that way...

So if you have any suggestions, please post a youtube link to it!
