Stand up comedy; who do you like?

[johnny]

Brendon Burns won some sort of award for stand up comedy recently so I thought I'd check out what he's like. Turns out he's pretty good! I love stand up and thought I'd open a thread to see what other gems we could find. So, hunt some down and post them up!

[chu]

for me it is dave chappelle...he is so bloody funny

[Customjimmy]

One comic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX1CvW38cHA)to rule them all!

[Drop_Bear]

Lewis Black kills me.

I love Henry Rollins and Lenny Bruce's stories.

George Carlin is one of the best there is.

Though not techincally standup Tripod are terrific.

[|Matt|]

CARL BARRON IS NOT FUNNY!

Dave Schappelle is the funniest one.

[roasted]

Bill Bailey.

[olly1oo6]

George Carlin and Lewis Black. Can't beat 'em.

[suG]

Dave Chappelle is so fuckin funny

[sxereturn]

This guy is amazingly talented, but like most other comedians and performers, so obviously plagued by mental issues.

[Oddjob]

My top 3 would be:

Dave Chappele
David Byrne
Arj Barker

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

Saw Brendon Burns a few years ago in Melbourne. Laughed my arse off the for the whole hour, we were all then treated to a bit of an impromptu set afterwards in an alley off Little Collins st as he'd no shows left that eveniong and felt like carrying on. He does owe a fair bit of his material to Bill Hicks though...

Other gems:

Not a huge Ed Byrne fan usually but this one he did on Comedy Blue was awesome
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=z7qo9FbqsrM

Jim Jeffries is another good one (local lad n'all)
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=04cps_brPEQ

Jimmy Carr can be an absolute pisser although he never tires of recycling his old gags...
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PDkruIaEU_0

Louis CK's quite cool in a married with kids kinda way
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2ZsoYWwJA

Ross Noble, Bill Bailey, Bill Hicks and Billy Connolly scarcely need a mention.

Also check out the doco 'The Aristocrats' if you want some really offensive comedy...

[shredder dj]

Rodney Rude
and Anh Do

I'll see if I can track down Anh's "Thank God You're Here" segment!!

It had me in tears laughing!

[declan!]

Dylan Moran is good.

mine isnt working :(

[wombat]

Dylan Moran is good.
He sure is. I'd never seen his standup work, but was really happy to see that it was so much like Bernard.

[mtb1611]

No-one beats Bill Connolly (sic?). Especially Judith Lucy.

[S.]

Yeah Dylan Moran is a pisser... Bill Bailey is pretty funny but more kind of random shit, Moran's stuff is more like a series of long hilarious rants.

[alpinestar12]

Jeremy Hotz; he's strange but he's funny!

Russel peters..

[hayd]

I'm a huge fan of Josh Blue, mainly because he doesn't take himself to seriously. He's not as well known as the others in thead and but I think he's great.

[glennles]

My favourite would be David Cross. He's been in a few things around the place, most recently Arrested Development. I don't have a specific YouTube link but his CDs are awesome. They're called Shut up you fucking baby and It's not funny. Genius

[Kane.]

Dave Chappelle funniest guy ever specially the Chappelle show good laugh.....

White Power

Love that episode of Chappelle show
Bit off topic but meh

[|Matt|]

Is that the one how hes a blind black guy who thinks hes white? That ones hilarious.

[BM Epic]

I absolutely love elliot goblet.
One routine he did was tell everybody how sick he was,polio,syphillis,dermatitis,rattling off about 30 major diseases without pause,then with a pause,says ,but im allright today! what a crack-up!
Special mention to steady eddy for one joke about his family,His dad was blind,His mum was deaf,His brother was in a wheelchair,but his sister was normal,and they put her in a home!:D

[Air time erik]

Rodeny Rude , Aussie legend!

[Mr Peabody]

Ricky Gervais is gold, first saw him on the ABC on the Extras show, what a pisser and since then hired a couple dvds of his stand up gigs, probably not everyones favourite but i enjot it.

[Mr Peabody]

And also theres that great American comedian, George W. Bush !!!

[thecat]

Rodney, we lova rodney

[dcrofty]

I have no idea who this guy is but I saw this skit a few years ago and thought it was pretty funny. Then I found this vesion with natalie in it as well and thought it was even funnier since she showed she had a sense of humour as well

http://youtube.com/watch?v=osnUB9bUm-E

[Breaka]

And also theres that great American comedian, George W. Bush !!!

Yeah everything that comes out of his mouth is a joke. He teamed up with John Howard for a while there, they did this Batman and Robin style rip off which was a good joke.

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

Another couple of greats.

Al Murray
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I4-oR-l9pQQ

Steve Hughes
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1bp0lXV1-iU

[FreakyShotGlass]

Robin Williams' old stand up was hilarious as was Rowan Atkinsons.
Dylan Moran, Chapelle and Bill Baily are all great.

[flying high dh killer]

Three favs would be Billy Connelly, Ricky Gervais and George Carlin.

[obbytay]

Carl Barron All The Way!:D lol

[R33F]

Kitty Flanagan - the couple of times I have see her live she has been brilliant.

[axertes]

Bill Bailey.

I love Bill Bailey. I usually dislike comedians that do songs, but his are pissers. The Kraftwerk hokey pokey, the Portishead "zippety do da", the BBC rave etc.

Especially Kraftwerk. Hahaha.

Man steckt die linke Arm ein, die linke Arm aus. Ein, aus, ein, aus. Man springt es alles um...

[donthucktoflat]

gotta agree on robin williams.

also eddie murphy. love it

[johnny]

Another couple of greats.

Al Murray
Hmm, been watching him on youtube for about two hours now. Think I can pretty much say he's my all time fav. Fast wit, excellent character and takes the piss to perfection.

[blackbear]

richard pryor.old school, genius. dead now, but loads of stuff on dvd etc.

[RacelineBoy]

Sarah Silverman

That was probably the least funniest thing I've ever seen.

My favourites are:
Eddie Murphy - Delirious
Robin Williams
and not Carl Barron... he is probably the next on the list of just plain terrible.

[DANCLOSH]
