Favorite comedians

[Noa]

I cannot list a favorite because I feel I would be shunning others. I adore standup. I watched the first twelve seasons of 'Comedy Central Presents' in one month. I just love standup.

My most rewatched standup comedians are: Eddie Izzard, Robin Williams, Roseanne Barr, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Madigan, Jerry Seinfeld, Tom Poppa, Patton Oswalt, and Anjela Johnson. But I love so many more comedians than just those. They are the ones I return to on an almost monthly basis.

@Eseka Kathy Madigan is great, too.

I really, really want to sit down and have a drink with her someday. She is so seamless in her act that I have no idea what kind of a personality she actually has. It makes me very curious.

I still laugh at old George Carlin and Dave Chappell routines. I love Bill Hicks' distorted message and he had some hilarious one-liners that played off his bitter, almost defeated, persona but I think the characterisation some have of him as an "unfunny *******" have some merit.

Yay!! Another fan of Eddie Izzard!

I think Hicks was hilarious. I especially love routine about marketing and just about anything he did about smoking.

He was amazing. I loved his take no prisoners approach to pretty much everything - his edginess way beyond the time we're in today. Such a tragedy to have lost such a valuable mind and soul. He almost took comedy to as dark a place it could go without becoming something that makes everyone repulsed.

Such as his bit about taking grandma to be an extra in a Chuck Norris flick rather than dying miserably in a hospital. Or, at least, I didn't think it was a bad idea.

Lol, strangely enough, I actually had that bit in mind.
