Who's your favorite Stand-up Comedian?

Sign in to disble this ad
Mine are Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Eddie Izzard, Jim Gaffigan, Demetri Martin, Doug Stanhope, Aziz Ansari - I like a whole slew of others.

I've lately heard a few really good ones for the first time through aol's online radio station at work . Some of those are Nick Thune, Maria Bamford, Josh Blue...

Who are some of your favorites?

Agreed, but that turd sported one of the hottest tv milfs, ever. Pamela Adlon. Maye not the hottest, but damn, she made me feel squishy for some reason.

Patton Oswalt is my favorite. His current tour is going through Austin, trying to save some cash to see if I can road trip it.
