    My favorite is Hedberg RIP

    I saw Mitch Fatel (sp?) about a month ago in NJ. Never heard of him before, but he was funny. Super Retardo...
    I wish I remember his opener's name. He was from Philly and was pretty damn funny too.

    i feel the same way about bill hicks and david cross. they've got their amusing moments, but it's mostly just ranting with no jokes, timing, or punchline.
    Hicks was an excellent comedian (see his earlier stuff. there's a video on youtube from when he was about 18 and he's brilliant, barely any ranting or cursing), he just chose to philosophise rather than go for simple laughs. I much prefer it that way to be honest. He was a man possessed.

    Local radio station started doing 8:20 funnies.
    A couple minutes of standup every morning.
    After a month or so, three out of five mornings is now Jim Gaffigan.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Oh so many, most named already so I won't repeat.

    I'd also recommend Don Rickles, Norm MacDonald  and Dennis Miller.

    Anything that makes me laugh to the point of tears, bring it.

    (Giraldo was hilarious too; loved him on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn - another funnyman)

    This bit from a local radio station, Bert Kreischer, it's one of the funniest I've ever seen.

    I can’t speak to his stand up, but his attempt to hit a baseball is absolutely hilarious.

    also, at a quick glance, I don’t see robin williams.

    So many great stand ups from across the pond, Fern Brady, James Acaster, Katherine Ryan (Canadian but lives overseas), Jimmy Carr, Russell Howard, Daniel Sloss, Rosie Jones. Most of these are very affordable tickets in North America.

    I also love Fortune Feimster, Mae Martin, Sam Campbell, Jim Jefferies, Ron Funches, Josh Thomas, Urzila Carlson, Ray O’Leary, Hannah Gadsby, John Mullaney, Ali Wong, and too many others to name.
