I love stand up comedy.

My favourites are Dara O'Brien, Russell Howard and Michael McIntyre.


Who are your favourites and what are their best lines/quotes??

Never used to like stand up all that much, but I watched Jeff Dunham's Christams Special about a month ago and thought his act was hilarious. Also, from the small amount I saw, I thought Ralphie May was pretty funny, although alot of his jokes were pretty crude. I dont really know of any others because as I said I never really got into stand up.

*Edit - That guy that does the impressions, Frank Calendo (sp?), is also pretty funny. Dont really know if he is considered stand up, or if he even does a whole act, but his impressions are great!

George Carlin hands down. He was a genius. Other favorites: Eddie Murphy, Dave Attell, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy when I was a kid. Just too many others to list. I love stand-up.

Good choices! I like most of the people on that list, but I had to highlight the standout among them IMHO.
