#1 forever is Jon Pinette I also like Norm MacDonald, Julia Holmes, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Mary Walsh and Joan Rivers and George Carlin when they’re clean. Oh, I forgot Dame Edna and some British/Spanish comedian I heard once and whose name I forgot. You might like this.. Its one of my favorites, and its clean (not a single curse word)

I'm watching Mitch Hedberg on youtube at the moment. I never saw his stand-up before. He's great!

George Carlin Eddie Murphy Bill Maher Jerry Seinfeld Louis C.K. Sam Kinison Rodney Dangerfield Jay Leno Norm Macdonald Ellen DeGeneres
I only realised after seeing Jay Leno and Pat Morita together in the crime comedy 'Collision Course' (1989) that Morita was a controversial stand-up in his day (I knew him from the movies). I hear he did a mean imitation of Redd Foxx.

His unique delivery and just his stage presence alone are great.

That's the first thing that struck me. I just instantly warmed to him as a performer. I'll have to rewatch 'Almost Famous' (2000) as it says at Wikipedia he played the Eagles' road manager in it.

Do you like Eddie Izzard? He uses a lot of clever wordplay and works in different languages, I'm a bit surprised I've not noticed his name come up much yet. I have nothing against him, he just doesn't make me laugh like other comedians do. I don't laugh at 'Monty Python' either though (maybe the films during some moments), I find a lot of their humour and cultural / historical references shoot way over my head.

Izzard is very funny, and I don't know why he didn't spring more to mind. May be in part a cultural thing that UK comics don't immediately occur to us statesiders. I've always adored the Pythons myself, but that may be partly the product of being an Eng. Lit. major and general history buff; it takes some dose of those I do believe, to pick up on some of the more esoteric material. But they wisely spiced it with enough universal goofiness to make it more accessible.

I was a Goodies fan. They always made me laugh, but to this day, people in England tell me they were stupid and inferior to their leading comic contemporaries ...

I was never a big fan of stand-up comedy. They're repetitive as well. They more or less have the same shtick: race, observational, satire, dark humor etc. If you have seen one, you have seen them all.
If I had to choose it would be Jeff Ross and Anthony Jeselnik.

Don't be deterred by the naysayers. The Goodies were, are, and shall always be avatars of the fall-off-the-couch, bust-a-stitch exemplars of pure goony hilarity. Thanks for posting that, it reminds me I need to go and look 'em up again
