So i'm a huge fan of standup comedy/entertainment.
Males, females (though they don't seem to get the crude stuff across as well), Aussie, British, American white/black, puppets, magic, seriously sicko or non-pc, old and new, pretty much anything.
I've pretty much gone through most of the stuff of the people I know, and have started looking at the Sanity website, among others, for some more ideas.

Any suggestions?

I'll grab some names I have here on my shelf:

All of the Blue Collar Comedy stuff, and the guys seperately (Bill Engvall, Larry The Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White)
Adam Hills
Arj Barker
Bill Bailey
Carl Barron
Chris Rock
Danny Bhoy
Dave Chappelle
Dave Hughes
Dylan Moran
Ed Byrne
Eddie Izzard
Frankie Boyle
Jimmy Carr

Erm.... i'll just say etc. now
I didn't realise how many I had.
Yeah, it will mean that you will suggest some that i've already got, but this list will end up being 75 people long. Too much to read.

Billy Cosby - Himself!


Nuff said.

No a swear word at all... yet has me in stitches everytime!

Not the standard stand up stuff, but have a look at Lano & Woodley. Both DVD's The Island and Goodbye. Two of my favourite DVDs.

[Selfdestruktor]

Haven't got any Richard Pryor stuff, but I know he's one of the greats, so I better have a look to see what's about.
Louis CK is an interesting one. He seems to say a lot of sick stuff that I don't really find funny, but then other stuff is pure gold. I see he has his own TV show or something now.
Looking up Bill Burr now. Never heard of him.
Have every Gervais movie now, I think, and the cartoony TV show, plus that Karl Pilkinton 'Idiot Abroad' show. Don't like The Office (UK or US, for that matter) but Extras was pure genius.
Seinfeld.... meh, I can take him or leave him. Not bad.
I don't know whether i've seen Bill Cosby in a standup capacity (only The Bill Cosby show and Kids Say The Darndest Things (yeeeears ago))... better have a look at that too.

[crad]

Totally agree with Cosby. The greatest (living) standup comedian around imo.
I actually preferred The Office UK to Extras, even though I thought they were both comedy gold. It was some of the most embarassing/uncomfortable TV I've ever seen.
And I've found that Louis' TV shows (he had another show earlier called 'Lucky Louie') aren't as funny as his standup. He's a great standup comedian but not a very good actor.
