Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Hey, I thought it was about time we had somewhere to recommend comedians to each other, as I love a good laugh. I'm pretty open to try any comedian, but, like I told my girlfriend last week much to her amazed disgust, I don't really find female comedians that funny. No idea, can't place it, probably a sexiest pig in the making. Dana Cook Lewis Black CS Lewis George Carlin are all on my ipod at the moment, any other recommendations? Stand up routines, comedy songs, or even funny audio books are welcomed, something to keep me going while at the gym or on bike rides. Its better then having to constantly stopping to change what music I'm listening to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll second Regan, his stories about the spelling bee and science fair as a kid are great bits. "THE BIG YELLOW ONE IS THE SUN!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Brian Regan and Rich Vos are great. Regan's one of the best clean comics out there. I'll second Regan, his stories about the spelling bee and science fair as a kid are great bits. "THE BIG YELLOW ONE IS THE SUN!" I took my girl to see Brian Regan last year for our anniversary. We're both big fans. I think that George Carlin, Doug Stanhope and Bill Hicks speak more to me than any other stand up performer. Chris Rock, Bill Burr and Dimitri Martin are up there, though.

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 The aforementioned Mitch Hedberg is the funniest person to ever walk the planet, but that's a given. My other favorite comedians are Kyle Cease, Mike Birbiglia and Eugene Mirman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Well, at least Mencia has actually made me laugh. One time. Back in 2002. We could debate all night as to who has done more wrong to this world, but if I have to choose one, at least Mencia can make a semi-decent point (whether it is his idea or not) every now and again. Larry has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Try some Def Comedy Jam alums: Bernie Mac Martin Lawrence Dave Chappelle Eddie Griffin Jamie Foxx Bruce Bruce I'm pretty sure the seasons from the early 90's is on DVD or online somewhere. I'm not too sure that this type of stand-up will translate for you across the pond, but if you're into Rodney King and O.J. jokes, they this is right up your alley. Check out some Comic View also.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I don't hate Dane Cook, I just find his routine horribly unfunny. Rent Kings of Comedy, if anything, for Bernie Mac's portion. Dave Chappelle's 2000 HBO special "Killin Em Softly" may be one of my all time favorite shows. Louis CK's "Shameless", also on HBO, is probably #2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
