Sinbad has the best crowd control that I've seen. He's got the whole package. I mean this guy doesn't even have to go to the racial stuff (which is very funny) and still just kills. Drew Carey comedy is best for reading in my opinion. I think his stand up is ok, but reading his book has given me the most laughs. I don't know why no one has mentioned Dave Chapell yet? Bill Mahr's recent stand ups are much better than his old ones. He's still not elite though. Seinfield is a great, but it's more the material than the comedian. Everything he has is material that he's been compiling since he was a teen. Gallager sucks. Carrot Top is the only funny prop man I've seen. Overall, even though Chris Rock is probably at the top of the comedy world now, I still would pay most for Sinbad. I'm fairly young though, so I don't know much about Murphy, Pryor, Wright, etc. ------------------ When I die, I want to be reincarnated as that chair in the Britney Spears video.
HBO had this guy Eddie Izzard on for his own special - hilarious! I've seen him on Whose Line is it Anyway On Comedy Central - not funny then. Also, John Leguizamo (sp?) had a couple of 1 man shows as well that were choice! ------------------
Sinbad is great too. Especially when he talks about growing up in the 70's. The 1st host in SNL history was: George Carlin ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new.

Wasn't Robin Harris the guy who invented "Bebe's Kids"...? He was hilarious-- Bebe's Kids was about the least funny part of his routine. The rest was classic. Gotta get you an UGLY b****. Pretty woman, she give you all type a ****. Ugly woman, you can lie, tell her anything, b**** don't say nothin' cause she scared to lose you. Harris as Ugly Woman: "Honey, where are you going?" Harris: "b****, I'm goin' to the Moon. I be back next week!" Harris as Ugly Woman:"OK, YOU BE CAREFUL!!!! I DON'T WANT NOTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!" ****ing classic. ------------------ "Corpses are icky." --Chris Robinson
my favorite would have to be Billy Connely. for those of you who dont know hes a scottish comedian who is brilliant. some his best stuff is poking fun at scottish people so you need to know some background ------------------ KD 12-21-99
Eddie Izzard rules. Bill Murray kicks a lot of tail, too. ------------------ Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me...you.
Kim, I don't know about Dave Chapell but I mentioned Dave Chappelle earlier. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams fan club. Web site coming soon atheistalliance.org
