I want to get some comedians on my iPod to listen to at work, but I have no idea who good comedians are. So, I'm enlisting the help of TL. I've seen some stand up on Comedy Central, but most of it I found to be trash. I generally don't watch stand up, but listening to it at work makes the time go by quicker (when I can actually listen to it.) I don't much have a preference or anything so just tell me some of your favorites and I'll look into them tonight.

Thanks!

I've heard some Bob Sagget before. For sure not the same dude that was on Full House.

Steven Lynch is hilarious. As is Daniel Tosh stand up (not sure about his show as I haven't watched it). If you like the angry comics, Lewis Black and Bill Hicks are fun.

Yeah, he's made some really nasty references about when he was on the show, like touching those twins in inappropiate ways :/

oh and the reason you only see trash on comedy central is because it take ZERO talent to snag a gig for that show.

the standard of quality for CCP is notoriously low.

Jim Jefferies is a funny funny guy. I loved his performance. Dane Cook is getting better with age. The last time I watched a performance from him it was VASTLY improved from his overly flashly shit when he was just a myspace phenom. He has some talent when he cares.
