good one
Eddie Izzard's pretty funny
I've heard good things about Russell Peters but I doubt you'd get the humor
 
The LA Times has a good article on Dane Cook, a review of his lame comedy special. A few excerpts:

Comedians aren't supposed to be happy, just the opposite, but Dane Cook is the Disneyland of comics: He's the happiest, most uncomplicated place on Earth.

He's Seacrest-psyched, boy voted most likely. Cutest. Funniest. Coolest. For Cook, this is no ironic pose à la Andy Kaufman; it's a whole insufferable ethos, integral to the rise of his career. He's become huge by asserting that the comic mind does not come from alienation and restlessness but from adoration and social connection ? the comic as your instant-messaging best pal.
* * *
To the question, "What happened to stand-up?" Cook might very well be the depressing answer: It put product in its hair, dumbed itself down and became as eager to please as a trainee at a TGI Friday's. And still it got itself a series, "Tourgasm," which ended its run on HBO last month.
* * *
"There's so many things that I want to let you guys into my world about," is the ungrammatical sentence with which Cook greets his fans at the FleetCenter.

They're screaming like he's Justin Timberlake, and maybe he is. For what is demoralizing is the swagger in the face of such vanilla material, the total absence ? like Tom Cruise on Oprah's couch ? of self-loathing.

In Cook's act there is no war, no class divide, no crime, no fear, no news, no world. There is only solicitation, the "so many things that I want to let you guys into my world about."

david cross, robert schimmel, and brian regan all come to mind. dane is pretty funny, but he recycles too much material and even used a few jokes from another comedian on his last cd.

What he said... And add Mitch Hedberg and Bill Hicks... Maybe not quite in the same vein, but hilarious nonetheless... 🙂

Mitch Hedberg was never funny. At all.

Wow, Dane Cook really is the worst 'commedian' of all time. He is so insanely awful that anyone who thinks they like him must be under 16 years old and never heard a someone who truly is funny before in their lives. He is freaking awful.

Listen to Mitch Hedberg, or older stuff like Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy or even newer old stuff like Denis Leary, Chris Rock or Dave Chappel.

You say Dane Cook isn't funny, then recommend Mitch Hedberg. So lame.

Talk about a lame, cliched comedian for college kids.

That's either Gabrial Iglasias or Pablo Francisco (please forgive spelling).

Can't believe no one has mentioned Daniel Tosh. He kills me.

Lewis Black. :thumbsup: His recent HBO special was not as good as the older one at the Kennedy center. Still funny none the less.



Dane Cook is more improvisational. So is Eddie Izzard, but Eddie is at the extreme and I don't like him that much.
