To start:

David Mitchell.

Pity he doesn't do stand up.

Sir Osis of Liver. · 07-12-2015 02:47PM

Kevin Bridges is a funny fcuker.

The Sun King · 07-12-2015 02:48PM

Pryor, Chapelle, Reginald D Hunter, Hicks, Boyle, Louis CK, Gervais, Moran for stand up off the top of my head.

King George VI · 07-12-2015 02:52PM

Louis CK is one of the finest comedians I've ever seen. Brilliant story teller, which is the backbone of being a great comedian in my eyes.

Edit: Also an honorable mention to Johnny Carson.

Come on guys, let's have some links instead of just names!

Louis CK, Aziz Anzari and Mitch Hedberg.

I really need to get into some Bill Burr. I've heard him on podcasts and what have you, and he's a funny guy, need to check out more.

Rich Hall.One of the best comedians around,and a talented musician too.

The current Netflix special, I'm Sorry You Feel That Way, is genius.

Ricky Gervais is getting a hard time in the other thread, I think he is brilliant.
Jim Jeffries is pretty great too, I loved his TV show more than his stand-up.

Lights On · 07-12-2015 03:19PM

Joey Diaz. This is probably my favourite stand up set I've ever seen, can't do it justice with words so if you have some time spare today it's well worth a watch!

Edit: This one is well worth a watch too!

Comedy is probably the only industry where you can have two conflicting threads and find the exact same names given in each.

Especially if you ignore music and film and the other ones.

Part Troll was a great live show but Dandelion Mind was absolute muck.

Bulbous Salutation · 07-12-2015 03:44PM

Stewart Francis.

He probably the only comedian I can stand doing the singing gimmick.

Others have been mentioned; Doug Stanhope...the comedian Frankie Boyle wishes he could be. His gig in Vicar Street a few weeks ago was brilliant.

Bill Burr.

Rhod Gilbert.

Dave Gorman

Jim Jeffries. A lot of Legit is ripped straight from his stand up shows but it works so much better as a TV show.
