I saw him do stand up at a college, didn't do much for me. This particular act was aimed towards an older crowd though.

My favorites (not necessarily in this order)

George Carlin
Jerry Seinfeld
Bill Hicks
Robert Schimmel
Brian Regan

Lewis Black and Chris Rock are my two favorites... Stephen Wright is good too.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

peter kay or lenny henry

 

[imported_Karma]

yup, eddie izzard (points to sig) but bill bailey is good too

 

Do you mean stand-up comedian or just plain funny person? If the latter I have to say Jackie Gleason.

 

[GasX]

Brian Regan

Amazingly, the funniest live show I have ever seen was headlined by Gilbert Godfried. His stand-up is unbelievably funny!

 

[Ausm]

Bob Hope
