There are no comedians like them anymore.

Loads, many Scottish, like Billy Connolly, Phil Kay and Frankie Boyle. You like what you know. Something in the lager here, probably. Americans - Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce and Chris Rock, all fearless starsailing bastards, passing on the truth of hopelessless, meaninglessness the and absurdity of our existence. Never quite got Eddie Izzard though - I find him a bit dull and lightweight. Quite clever sometimes, but really not very funny. Bill Bailey's better at surrealism and sodding Bernard Manning would look better in eyeliner. Chunky, chinny men should not wear makeup. All quite mainsteam names, I know.Not because I don't wander the peripherals of pop culture, I just don't see any point in naming people other folk won't know just to look hipster. Oh, okay, Scott Agnew. Scottish Comedian of the Year last year and my very own old pal from college. Wasn't really funny then as a heterosexual journalist, but found his inner bitch when he realised he was gay and hated journalism. Great guy, check him out, he gigs like fuck all over the UK. Expect tales on smoking babies and anal sex. Both in the same joke.

Of all time, I'd have to say:

1. Steve Martin
2. Mitch Hedberg
3. Steven Wright
4. Rodney Daingerfield

funny is just funny whoever it comes from. damned if i try and figure them out.

Never heard of Scott Agnew, will keep an eye out for him.

Frankie Boyle & Bill Bailey

Also, Michael Mc Intyre is funny in his own stand up.

We just discovered an American comedian Lewis C.K. , I guess he has done some writing for Chris Rock. His stand up is hilarious.

*NSFW*

Carl Barron - He's just too funny

Eddie is great, I've developed a little crush on him. I like his voice and his humor a lot, even the strange way he looks.

Wonder if there are any sit-down comedians... standing room events take a toll on the legs

Top man. I saw Jerry a few months ago in Royal Exchange Square and wandered over to say hi. He told me to fuck off. It was great!

A mate of mine was putting on a gig for him to perform at a year or so ago, and he went out bevvying with him. Said he's a gentleman, until you mention certain trigger words.

Was reputedly going to call his next tour "Frankie Boyle's a Cunt" tour. He no likey Frankie boy.

See....you gotta have that dick
Can I get a amen for the dick
Amen
Can I get a amen for the dick brothers and sisters
Aaaaaamen! Wooooo!

Russell Peters
Robin Williams

He's quit Mock The Week and he was in the Daily Record or something but I think he's jacked that too. He said himself, at the Comedy Awards, he's concentrating on his charity work...

Saw him host Buzzcocks, a few (prepared) funny lines, but I don't think hosting shows is his strength.

My all-time favorite is Paul Mooney, but on the same note I will say he's not for everybody.
Others that come close (in this order):

-Patrice O'Neal

-Dave Chappelle

-Mo'Nique
-Tony Rock (Chris Rock's Brother)
-Mike Epps
-Bill Maher
-Bruce Bruce (unfortunately he does not do too much these days)
-Tammy Pescatelli (Last Comic Standing)
