I have no clue if anyone has ever discussed this before.

I'm really into stand up.

I thought we could do a thread where people talk about their favorite show/comedian, etc.

Me: Eddie Murphy......Delirious.

*For the record I have seen a ridiculous amount of stand up. This is just the best imo.

2) Dave Attel, Mitch Hedberg and Lewis Black.

3) Jim Norton

For a pure stand up comedian I think its hard to top Geroge Carlin for his careers longevity and relevance. He was doing edgy shit right up until he died. Seen a lot of stand ups come and go and make a 20 year career out of being a one trick pony. Chris Rock is hillarious and judging from his last special he may have a similar career as Carlin in staying edgy and relevant over a long span of time. Eddie Murphy Raw and Delirous were hillarious but he never really followed them up so he cant be a all time great imo.

If your a 70pct favorite to beat someone in general, why take an allin with them at 66/34 ? your giving them the edge.

He's a genius. I was really impressed with his stuff. Saw him for the first time doing the Blue Collar deal. I felt sorry for Foxworthy because he had to follow him.

Having said that, I also watched Ron White's earlier stuff and he wasn't nearly as funny.

I guess it takes time....

I know, I just realized.

Perhaps we can ask a mod to move it?

I just adore anyone who adores Eddie Izzard.
I keep telling myself I'm moving on
Believing my heart was strong
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door

Wishing I didn't love you
What I'd give if I could touch you

Wishing I didn't love you anymore

Well, you were pretty much the only one that speaks to me, and you blew that, so I can't help..

Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

Steve,

It doesn't matter who you start because you have a horse shoe up your ass so far I'm not really sure how you get through the day. You must be gay.

Nice. I was trying to figure out a way to work that in there. I couldn't which explains at least partly why my name isn't bandied about in conversations about comedians such as these.

Jimmy Carr is a delight to watch. If you haven't caught his standup, I highly recommend it.

Louis C.K. is great as well. His latest DVD is a great, great showcase of his talent.
