Who is your favorite comedian?

[ah schucks]

Everybody has a favorite comedian? Some of us have addictions to comedy clubs *raises hand* and some of us can't get enough Comedy Central...Its always very very very interesting to see who people admire as there favorite comedian... it says a lot about the person...or sometimes it tells you too much! Who is your favorite?
************************************************** **

My current favorite is Jeff Dunham who has appeared on Comedy Central numerous times and has been on both versions of The Tonight Show and tours across the United States all the time. He has several signature characters but most people recognize his most famous "Walter."

Margaret Cho is one of my favorite comedians, I just recently saw Notorious C.H.O. and laughed the whole time!

I don't have a favorite but I like the two mentioned above, Jeff Dunham and Margaret Cho and I also like Richard Jeni...all whom I've seen live and I'd take their live shows over the ones on tv any day.

I LOVE Mitch Hedberg. He is the funniest and most original comic, IMO. I am still so upset by his recent death. I just feel very lucky to have seen his stand-up in person.

I also really like Ron White who is best known for the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He is really great.

And I like Ellen Degeneres stand up alot. And one of my favorite classic female comics is Rita Rudner. She cracks me up.

My favorite channel on XM is the comedy channel. I love being able to listen to it on long drives, it is worth the money just for that!

I love Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black. Although I recently saw Richard Pryor Live on Comedy Central and I'd forgotten how freakin' awsome he was.

[Captain Zissou]

Dane Cook
Pablo Fransisco
Lewis Black
Dana Carvey (not so good at stand up however)

There was one guy who was kinda funny that I saw on Comedy Central but I don't remember his name...he would always start to giggle as he told the punchlines of his joke and could never keep a straight face.

My favorite is Margaret Cho ... we have the Notorious CHO on CD and it is SO funny! I have to concentrate so hard on not wrecking the car but that damn laughing buggs me! DANG!
