Favorite Stand-up Comedian
Have you ever noticed ...
I was watching some old Richard Pryor and George Carlin and they had me rolling on the floor laughing ... even having seen them lots of times before.
Got me thinking of who are my favorite stand-ups but the list kept growing from the obvious to the not-so obvious. I tried to narrow the list to the top five - that was tough. Had to also break up the list to include those during the last 25 years.
Take the poll and if there is one that you believe is worthy and not on the list please add a comment. I tried to keep the poll list as diverse as possible.
Some favorites not on the short list:
Sam Kinison
Steve Martin
Gary Shandling
Jackie Mason
Rodney Dangerfield
Cheech and Chong
Redd Foxx
Lewis Black
Dave Chapelle
Sarah Silverman
Steven Wright
Ellen DeGeneres
Carlos Mencia
Andrew Dice Clay
The list is long ... effen long.
I LOVE TO LAUGH

I am partial to the old Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Kinison stuff myself, but I think Jerry Seinfeld is pretty funny too.

Richard Pryor by a mile. I was too young to get him when I first had seen him.
Recently though I have watched three or four of his shows and was blown away by his pure honesty and story telling skills. In one of the shows he done a routine about going into the woods, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen and heard, and I say seen because allot of his comedy is so visual!
His facial expressions are amazing and the interaction he has with the audience is fantastic.
Apart from him Peter Kay is great!
