	The best stand up comics? Inflate your Upload Space

I just saw Eddie Murphys RAW tape from 1987 and it was absolutely hilarious. I kept laughing for the whole 90 minutes so hard that I had to pause the tape every now and then so that I wouldn't miss out anything. It was BRILLIANT!

So, I'd like to know other people too. It's a plus if it's celebrity like Eddie Murphy, so I know who it is.

This must be availabe on videotape, or DVD or whatever so I can get it.

Suggestions?

Lewis Black is just awesome. He came to my school and did a show last year and I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

Most stand up "comedians" are way too vulgar to be funny IMO. At least to a grown up audience.

I didn't get his stuff until I was about 8 or 9. Have fun storming the Cassells!

What can I say? My choices come down to Comedy Central, the Discovery networks, or anything else on TV, and I simply go for the most intelligent programming I can find.

I love vulgarity.

I love Bill Maher and Dennis Miller as many of you know.

My favourite of all time is George Carlin

I also love Chris Rock.

Ellen Degenneres is pretty funny. 2 other women I like is Rita Rudner and that one chick, damn I can't think of her name for some reason. She got in trouble for doing something inappropiate with her adopted children.

That'd be Paula Poundstone. Janeane Garofalo was also really funny when she did stand-up, but I don't know if there are any tapes of that.

I'd agree with pretty much everything on here (except Gallagher, who's just Carrot Top with a hammer), but especially Richard Pryor and Dennis Leary. Actually, old (mid-1960s) Bill Cosby is really funny, too. Oh, and, believe it or not, Woody Allen. I was once listening to his comedy album while driving cross-country, and had to pull over because I was laughing so hard.

Try an old Bill Cosby stand up act - they were really funny and clean.

Bill Cosby. Dana Carvey is hilarious. Kevin James is great too. He does a mime of a woman shopping for the perfect greeting card. You will literally be rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably.

Does any watch Last Comic Standing? Ralphie May is amazing.

He also did a bit on the Iraq war:

Louis Black has two cds out, End of the Universe and the White Album. i like the former much better.

Chris Rock is excellent; Dennis Leary can be good too.

George Carlin, Robin Williams, and Bill Cosby are good too.

Margaret Cho can be funny, but she's often a bit too vulgar, so she's funny only in very small doses.

I forgot about Dennis Leary, I love him too.

Garafolo used to be funny. But now she got into politics

And Bill Cosby did have a few great bits, he has his momemnts.

And I forgot Dana Carvey too.

Kevin James is funny, as is OF COURSE Jerry Seinfeld .

But I actually think that Dennis Leary beats them all. Comedy Central had a bunch of his comedy standup shows back to back to back... f'ing hilarious!

Berz, you mind coming to the Draft thread... we are having a vote on whether to extend to a 16th round... thx.

And Carlin can get very tired after a while, IMO.
