Who is your favorite Comedian.

Oldballgame,
I alomost forgot about him. He's the funniest clean comedian. I saw him about 20 years ago at the Trop. I went to take a leak during the opening act, and guess who I had the pleasure to piss with? Mr. Hope himself. Thanks for the memory.

Lurker,
I would now recommend paying to go see CarrotTop. He's worth the $40.

9 years later the funniest comedian is officially Louis CK. In fact, he's funnier than most people mentioned. Although I will say the OP is right on that John Valby is hilarious.

 

[ImGamblin'Again!]

My favorite is probably Rodney Dangerfield

Agree. Loved this dude when he did POOTIETANG, and he's only got better in the many years since. Honorable mention for the late Patrice O'Neal.

(Honorable Mention: Eddie Murphy before his family oriented movies)

*I know Chris Rock is currently working on some new material at the Comedy Cellar in NYC, but not touring.

MOST UNDERRATED:
The Late Patrice O'Neal (RIP)--Tons of talent and wouldn't give in to the system.

I guess I should have basically named every comedian from 1960 to present, but I love stand-up comedy and there are a lot of great comics out there now.

Right now I find the Tosh.O dude pretty hilarious
