Your favorite comedians?

I also like Robin Williams when he does HBO specials....

and I liked Jonathan Winters...especially "early" Jonathan Winters....

Remember "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World"?

Peter Sellers was golden......

and the "Carry On Gang" was funny as hell.....

Not to mention John Cleese and the rest of the Monty Python squad.

Gotta love Rodney!

My wife told me to take out the garbage. I told her you cooked it, you take it out!!

Another favorite of mine is Foster Brooks on the Dean Martin roasts. My two fav's are when he roasts Hubert Humphrey and Ralph Nader. Too funny.
 
Mike Dambra. He's from the great white north, eh? But tours down here in the states. When I did stand-up for a few years back in the late 80's/early 90's, he won the local "funniest person in Rochester" contest in it's inaugural year. He's a great guy and EXTREMELY funny. I won't give away any of his act, but if you go see him remember: "pickle". :laugh::roflmao::laugh:
