Hmmmm. There are so many good ones.

Bill Hicks
Ron White
Dennis Leary
Dave Attell
Dane Cook
Lenny Bruce

But my favorite is David Cross. Seriously, the man is brilliant.

George Carlin, who isn't on the list. The first three are valid candidates. Really, I wasn't even aware Chappelle did stand up, and will have to catch an act before commenting further, but the stuff I usually see him do is skit comedy, all pretty gimmicky.

Put Carlin on man! Admittedly, he has been a bit too involved in the political forum for my taste, and needs to reclaim his ability to subtley pose political ideas in his comedy. Regardless, he has decades of original, clever, HILARIOUS material.

Not saying take Chappelle off, just add George... :p

The Taxi Driver 11-29-04 09:11 PM

dave chappelle did Killen em softly which i thought was hilarious. he also did one recently on HBO called for what its worth but i havent seen it yet. like i said i dont know much about stand but these four guys are the ones i watch the most.

Caitlyn 11-29-04 09:21 PM

I haven't seen anything from him in ages, but Gallagher always cracked me up…

LillyVon 11-29-04 09:22 PM

Bill Hicks (naturally)

Bill Maher

Dennis Miller

Jack Dee

Eddie Izzard
