    There are many many funny people dead or alive
    stand ups, comic actors, ust crazy zany funny folks

    in the panthen of legends from laurel and hardy to bob hope, to george burns, to walter matthau and jack lemmon, dave allen to harold lloyd to richard pryor, bill hicks , andy kaufman and beyond

    so to those funny people alive

    the likes of billy connolly still going, bill cosby, eddie murphy, steven wright, mel brooks, robin williams, seinfeld, george carlin,billy crystal, john stewart, jasper carrott, garry shandling,woody allen, the younger breed, chris rock, bill maher, ellen degeneres, lous ck, eddie izzard, richard lewis, adam sandler, dylan moran, paul merton, joan rivers, jackie mason,

    For me its larry david......curb your enthusiasm is a work of genius that ran for umpteen years, preceeded by 2 decades of the ingenious seinfeld and recently by his clear history tv film....mind bogglingly funny yet again
    merry festivus larry you wonderful bald self loathing Jew:D

    Of those you've listed, yes, I would say Larry David is the best.

    Maybe not the No.1 funniest on stage but Artie Lange is hilarious in his overall character ....tragic, wild and intriguing.

    Loveable train wreck whos been up and down like a yoyo.
    The real life Krusty, stopping off to do a kids gig before being police escorted to rehab kind of deal.


    More vices than the population of N.Y, takes swings at cops in LA while coked up after losing tens of thousands in Vegas and spending more on hookers. Still winning, if slightly obese. Sheen doesn't have an inch on him.

    I think Chris Morris on his day was the funniest bloke alive. Would be great if he did some more t.v. work, not as an actor in someone else's program.

    Throw Armando Ianucci and Steve Coogan into the mix.

    The guilt of laughing at his incredibly dark humor VS the promise of incredible lulz.

    The guilt has yet to win.

    I'm probably in the minority here but I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is absolute sh*te...

    For me regardless of the fact he hasn't been active in a while, it has to be Dave Chappelle. Complete genius and such an appealing presence.

    Hasn't exactly been confirmed yet, but there's a suggestion it'll be back, so ran as in past tense may not be appropriate.

    Larry David is right up there with Richard Pryor, Woody Allen, Eddie Murphy and the legendary George Carlin.

    Chappelle is regularly called "the best living comic" by other comedians, and there is a reason for that.
    He's bloody hilarious.
