"God made wood, man made cheese, and a woman will make children if you just say 'please'."
Sean Cullen's live album is fantastic, but I don't know that it ever got much notice. (Pretty sure I had to order it out of Canada a few years back.)

yeah his comedy central presents is all i've seen , but it was great.
i remember " you've got a friend in porn "
and something about a half human half monkey child lol.
i like comedians who can actually play and sing , like stephen lynch

dane cook , people seem to either love him or hate him

I can only speak for myself but I do enjoy listening to Dane's jokes. What I find most appealing about him, besides his copious references to my childhood memories, is his vernacular. He often uses unfamiliar words to set up his stories which is comical in itself IMO.
Anyway, I like
Demitri Martin
Nick Swardson
Kevin Hart
Sinbad
Jim Breuer
Mitch Hedberg RIP
Does Conan O'Brian count? Because I love him!

Yeah, I would say Conan counts.

Have you heard any Otis Lee Crenshaw?
Zach Galifianakis actually has some piano skills-- his 'Live at the Purple Onion' show is hilarious for me.
I've been hitting the Bo Burnham pretty hard lately.

where have you been all my life? lol
i LOVE live at the purple onion. one of my fav. DVD's i have.
one of my fav. jokes from it, " i'm addicted to cold turkey. I tell people , i'm going to quit cold turkey , and they're like .. what are you going to quit ?"
&& Bo Burnam is so hilarious , I downloaded his comedy central special after i saw it on TV. It was so good , i thought for sure he was going to be huge in the next few years
I myself have an ecclectic taste when it pertains to stand-up comedy. From Sinbad to George Carlin, there's pretty much no one I won't watch. And I'm probably the only one who likes Bob Saget.

You're highly mistaken. I'm a HUGE fan. Moreso of Full House than his stand up, though having a taste for crude humor I like that too.

I prefer his stand-up. I was never fond of Full House and I found his written quips from America's Funniest Home Videos rather painful.

this special she did here was the first time I've ever seen her my self and I really liked her. I don't know if this sexist or not to say, but I really don't find female comedians all that funny. With a few exceptions like Wanda Sykes and Aisha Tyler and few others who I can't name right now. Oddly enough the female comedians I find funny are almost exclusivly black. :ohwell:

I saw him live in Omaha, NE. Funny as sh*t. I was up close to the stage and he made fun of me for being white

His last stand up special was absolutely hilarious , his Shaq impression was spot on
So far I've only seen Joe Rogan and Jim Breuer live. Looking to expand that list immensely in the future.

This topic is missing some serious Denis Leary. He's one of the few stand - ups I really like. I also like Lenny Clark and Adam Ferrara, The other comedians I dig all do shows for the most part.

You lucky ass. lol
I haven't laughed so hard since Katt Williams. That guy is a future legend.

Most definitely! His rant about coffee is the best thing ever. :)
I adore stand-up comedy so it's hard to keep the list short.
Some of my other favorite comics are Patton Oswalt (so happy to see others here who listed him), Bill Hicks, Kathleen Madigan, Brian Regan, Lewis Black, Don Friesen, John Caparulo ... I could go on!
