Definitely Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steven Wright..

Oh, and Rodney Dangerfield!

David Cross and Patton Oswalt are two contemporary comics I like..

I miss Colin Quinn's show where he'd have 4 stand-ups on (usually Jim Norton, Nick Di Paolo, Greg Giraldo and Patrice O'Neal) and they'd just sit around and talk about stuff. That was a good show..

Patton Oswalt

Todd Barry

Eugene Mirman

Mitch Hedburg

Demitri Martin

Louis CK

Bill Hicks

Brian Pohsehn

Paul F Tompkins

In no particular order:

Greg Fitzsimmons
Mitch Hedberg
Sam Kinison (RIP)
Artie Lange (RIP soon, probably )
Doug Stanhope

In other words, anyone you'd be likely to hear on channel 100 on SIRIUS at one time or another.

any body know Brian Regan?

Oh yeah. I used to love that guy, back in the early 90s when Comedy Central was sort of like the MTV of comedy. Still very funny.

My favorite for a while has been Bill Burr.

Last night I spent at least an hour watching as many Brian Regan clips as I could, and that guy is still really hilarious after all these years. It baffles me how someone can keep up such great material.

That's me and Louis CK - he's the man.. but my all time favorite for off the cuff stuff is Lil' Jimmy Norton - his prewritten stuff comes off a little stilted sometimes, and I don't think he should be trusted around anyone unarmed, but the guy cracks me up with some of the shit he comes up with on the fly



Other greats:

• Burr - that man is funny
  Regan - "What position do I play? Grape..."
  Patton Oswalt - a funny, funny gnome - "I'm not husky, that is protective karate fat!"
  Stanhope - awesome guy
  - and of course: Hicks

Here's my home office:

[sundog]

George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steven Wright, Jeff Dunham, Gallagher, Dave Chappelle
