So I was watching last comic standing a couple nights ago. I've seen this show like once before, and it was at the end. Anyways I think its pretty funny, and checked out a couple other comedians. I like Russel Peters the best out of the professionals I have seen.
Can TL recommend me some hilarious people?
I just think being funny is really cool. It is a talent that escapes me. I mean I know how to make a couple people chuckle from time to time, but these stand ups are fantastic.
So uh, send me along your faves if you feel like it.

This one is so funny. (Gets ridiculous near the end, but the starting is funny.)

Lol i found both moderately funny. I think I need to do drugs or something before I get every joke. Or maybe I'm immature.

I'd love to do a write-up for each comedian, but I don't have that sort of time unfortunately. Instead I've gone ahead and bolded some of my favourites, although they are all great. Also any tours I could remember I've noted, the three tours there are awesome, I'd advise them for the sake of 4 birds with one stone per tour.

You'll notice there is a few actor/comedians in there. People like Woody Allen and Robin Williams are hilarious, I promise you. And the sitcom actor/comedians. Tim Allen/Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin James, Ray Romano etc etc.. all started their careers as stand up comics, so their stuff is also really good.

I sit here trying to decide on my top 3, and I cannot.. there is too much awesome on that list. But the guys in bold are definitely worth checking out.

Louis C.K. fucking owns!! I like your list, BUT WHY THE HELL DID YOU PUT DANE COOK? HE'S A FUCKING THIEF!! He stole so many of Louis C.K.'s jokes it isn't even funny. I must admit he has better stage presence than Louis

Cannot wait to see Sean Cullen rip it up on LCS.

Steven Wright: (its best to watch this from start to finish because he sets the mood for some jokes that this guy just cuts in randomly, sadly I don't think you can find it online)
