Who's your favorite stand up comic of all time?
I just recently got turned on to Aussie Jim Jefferies by a member here. He's great (Jim, that it)! But I'd have to say that George Carlin impressed me the most, followed closely by Richard Pryor. Robin Williams was too frenetic and often too superficial for my taste.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Hard to go wrong with George Carlin and Bill Hicks. But I also enjoy a lot of English comedians...Eddie Izzard, Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle (the later two have zero boundaries).
Oh, and Tim Minchin, he's a bit of a modern day Victor Borge.

Put on your thick skins...I've had people tell me "oh, I like dark humor" and then I them some of their bits and they come away going "no, no way man, that's just wrong".
Billy Connelly's ireverance and observational humour up until around early 90s when he became an establishment icon. The abrasive Connelly was lost somewhere around then.

Ricky Gervais, Jim Gaffigan, Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Hannah Gadsby is new but quickly becoming a favorite, Russell Howard, so many. I just really love stand up... I sometimes think I'll try my hand at it.

@RobLawrence Oh, there are. Pretty much any comedy club has amateur night. Plus, YouTube is totally a thing now. I need to work on my material.
@RobLawrence not enough girls in stand up and definitely not enough atheist girls that aren't completely self deprecating.
I'm sorry to not answer as you ask, but had to share this here with you guys
(Cause you all are so kind and understanding)
