Your favorite Stand-Up Comedian?

[Slog]

I used to watch a lot of Russell Peters back in the day.

Recently I have been watching Trevor Noah, Aziz Ansari and Louis CK.

Do you guys have favorites. Do share your favorite clips iff you want too :dalmiya

* Stand Up Comedian!!

 

[RexRex]

I saw Chris Tucker's netflix special recently.Very funny !

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I saw Aziz Ansari show on Netflix, and he just seemed like an irritating little twerp. There's a stand up Asian guy in Australia who is much better.

[Barragan]

Dave Chapelle even though "retired" is still the best comedian out there.

Omid Djalili used to be great and his show was excellent, especially his Henry the VII and Nigerian accent skits.

Watched a lot of Russel Peters a few years back.

Right now, Russel Howard is good and not many else out there.

[JaDed]

I like John Oliver but only for his show 'the last week tonight'

 

[Slog]

What's his name?

Amir Rehman I think

 

[anakin]

Russel Peters growing up was hilarious. I also like Kevin Hart but only when he's doing interviews.

 

[miandadrules]

Jim Jefferies and Louis CK currently.

 

[PCP_1]

Too many

Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor - Legends and the fathers of Stand Up.
Bill Bailey - English humor coupled with Music, Ouuuud.
Dylan Moran - Hilarious Irish, with the scruffy image, was great with Bill Bailey in Black Books.
Doug Stanhope - The Bill Hicks of this era.
Jimmy Carr - Foul mouthed, witty one liners, basic guilty pleasure. Especially love it when someone tries to heckle him.
Eddie Izzard - Executive Transvestite. Master at stand up improv.
Omid Djalil - Only has the Live at the Palladium but still hilarious.

Will post more as I recall.

Hate the Dane Cooks and Kevin Harts though.

He insulting proses were genius. Modern stand up wouldn't be the same without seven dirty words.

Dylan Moran - Hilarious Irish, with the scruffy image, was great with Bill Bailey in Black Books.

When I first watched Black Books, I realized he had a cameo in Notting Hill. He's Rufus the book thief, who slips a book down his trousers in Hugh Grant's bookshop, and then asks for Julia Roberts' autograph and she writes, "Dear Rufus, you belong in jail."

 

[endymion248]

I like Dara O'Briain. He has a very distinctive style of comedy.

I saw Aziz Ansari show on Netflix, and he just seemed like an irritating little twerp. There's a stand up Asian guy in Australia who is much better.

Kumail Nanjiani is good among nr desi comedians.

 

[endymion248]

Right now, Russel Howard is good and not many else out there.

God I hate that guy. He is what hearing [MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION] talk for 60 minutes would feel like.

Well I didn't watch Notting Hill but I didn't recognise him in Shawn of the Dead and only went searching back when I saw his name in the credits.

All-time greats: George Carlin and Dave Chappelle

Among the current lot: Aziz Ansari, Trevor Noah, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Anthony Jeselnik, Demetri Martin, Kumail Nanjiani, Hannibal Buress

I found Russell Peters funny in my teens but my taste in comedy has evolved over the years. He is simply too one-dimensional and has beaten the whole accent thing to death. Good for him though he has made millions off his crappy jokes.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Russell Peters. Hands down. He doesnt performs much nowadays it seems. Havent seen any recent clip.

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

God I hate that guy. He is what hearing [MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION] talk for 60 minutes would feel like.

Brilliant.

 

[Cena]

Markiplier if he counts as comedian. His videos always makes me laugh and I don't get why

I love omid djalili as well, some of his stuff is so good. I went to see him at Edinburgh fringe festival a few years back.

 

[Markhor]

George Carlin, Reginald D Hunter and Jimmy Dore all come to mind. Carlin was a genius especially when it came to political commentary.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Don't watch any now but Chappelle is GOAT.

 

[Chrish]

Dave Chappell !!

 

[greatest]

Dave Chappelle, Russell Peters & Shoaib Akhtar.

 

[Barragan]

Amir Rehman I think

Thanks and will check him out.

His show is quite good.

His show was excellent and he hasn't been active recently either.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Amir Rehman I think

Yeah I saw one of his videos, he is funny.

 

[Robert]

Omid Djalili. Saw him at a corporate gig years ago. I was crying with laughter, while having my views challenged. That is proper comedy.

 

[Sandeep]

Rahul Gandhi

In addition to those mentioned, check out Bill Burr

Netflix is doing this thing where they have a new comedy stand-up special every week. I have been following them eagerly. I skipped the Amy Schumer one because that woman makes me cringe so hard my eyes will pop out, I hate her with a passion. Apart from that waste of skin the others have been pretty good, last week the special from some guy called Michael Che and it had me laughing the entire time. Trevor Noah also did one too and it was as good as expected. Dave Chappelle is supposed to do two or three. The first Dave Chappelle special airs tomorrow.

 

[Chrish]

Dave Chappell and Russell Peters

Dr Riaad Moosa from Cape Town. The guy is a qualified medical doctor but gave up his practice to be a comedian

Very popular. Just as popular as Riaad

 

[TM Riddle]

George Carlin FTW!

Anybody catch the Chapelle specials ?

 

[Dios]

Anybody catch the Chapelle specials ?

Not as funny as his older material but good to have him back. He is doing a couple more I think. Hope they are better.

 

[Dios]

Check out Michael Che's stand-up on Netflix. Pretty funny

 

[Syed1]

Anybody catch the Chapelle specials ?

I saw the first one.. it was ok. Not as good as the Chapelle of old.

[imrankhannsu]

Russell Peters for me. Especially he is really good at accents. I also like Omid Djalili

 

[Black Zero]

George Carlin

Saw Shappi Khorsandi this year. Very funny. She signed a copy of her book for me.

 

[sjahmed23]

2. Chris Rock & Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle may be one of the greatest comedians ever, but I feel his best material came in the "Chapelle Show" , which isn't technically standup .

 

[YorkshireTrust]

Virender Sehwag

 

[SandyB]

Virender Sehwag

He doesn't do stand-UP, he sits and blurts out his PJs. Proper desi Unkill !

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Eddie Murphy

 

[Red Devil]

Chappelle and Louis CK are in a league of their own.

 

[ManFan]

Chappelle but he's been replaced! Doesn't seem like the old Chappelle.

 

[Sirris]

Does Donald Trump count?

Lately nobody gives me a good laugh than him.

 

[kingusama92]

Jimmy Carr.

Dark humour but his delivery is exceptional.

Dave Chapelle, Russell Peters, and Chris D'elia are terrific at what they do too.

 

[humzy]

Dave Chapelle, George Carlin, Richard Prior.

Out of the newer acts I like Ian Edwards, Jim Jeffries, Bill Bur and Ali Wong.

Ali Wong had an amazing stand up show last year I think its called Baby Cobra.

Kumail Nanjiani hosted SNL this weekend

[ahmedwaqas92]

I love edgy controversial and dark comedy (can practically listen to rants all day long ), so here's my list: (Based on current favorite)

1) Bill Burr (Best.....Rants.....Ever !!)
2) Greg Davis (Hilarious Dude - His life experiences are just out of this world!!)
3) Jimmy Carr (The daddy of Dark humor)
4) Ricky Gervais (At one point in time he was my all time Favorite, especially with all those XFM releases and his rants with 'head like an ****** orange' aka Karl Pilkington - Just go and watch their Speaking English Tutorial for a quick laugh)
5) Romesh Ranganathan (The only Family-friendly comedian I can stand to listen these days)
6) Louis CK (Although many rate him their best I believe he's a step below the other above 5)

Honorable Mentions:

1) Jon Stewart (Back in the days he would literally take everyone to the cleaners !! Loved the guy)
2) Craig Ferguson (learned how to flirt literally by listening to this bloke all day long )
3) Trevor Noah (Extremely underrated)
4) Chris Rock (A very good comedian - on his day, but gives off too much of an American vibe)
5) Jerry Seinfeld

 

[s28]

Can't believe Frankie Boyle only mentioned once on here and Stewart Lee zero times !

You can download/stream Frankie Boyle's latest stuff from his website

[s28]

Stewart Lee is brilliant although targets more intelligent intellectual audiences

[shaz619]

Besides the names mentioned, I enjoyed one of stephen merchants shows

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Beyond me why Aziz is so popular. He's not funny at all.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

I saw the first one.. it was ok. Not as good as the Chapelle of old.

Ever watched Gabriel Iglesias (aka Fluffy).

Dude's mimicry is mad!!!
