This is a statement and a question. To me Jim Jefferies is the best atheist comedian today. Who do you think is the best atheist comedian nowadays?
I don't know with Jim Jefferis on the table I'm hard pressed to name better. Honestly I'm hard pressed to come up with actively vocal atheist comedians, but I haven't been paying a lot of attention lately.
George Carlin worshipped the Sun but prayed to Joe Pesci, does that count?
I get the distinct feeling Ricky Gervais is likely atheist.
No Jimmy carr. Wow. Ricky Gervais has done the same special 4 times. Doug stanhopes early material was awesome but i.think the drug use is getting to him and david cross hasnt been funny since bigger and blackerer. Then theres frankie Boyle folks. Its jj, frankie Boyle and Jimmy carr ftw
Patton Oswalt. While he doesn't do much pure atheist material, he mocks faith in truly creative ways that don't leave much doubt as to his atheism.
I've been into Jim since he made contraband 12 years ago. in my book he is on par with Carlin. They are,were, the most un-PC people that I ever liked, and I love them for that.
I mean Jim can make sometheing like rape funny.
I can't put him above Ricky Gervais and his career but I do like Jim Jefferies quite a bit. It would be cool if they did something together. My favorite podcast was the Ricky Gervais Show, it has a cult following and I'm a proud member lol
