Re: **2+2 Stand Up Comedian Madness Official Nomination Thread**

I was a huge comedy album fan from the age of ten when I discovered Cosby and Cheech and Chong. The last decade or two has been a dry spell for comedy albums overall. Is there a genre more dominated by males? I cannot think of one funny female stand-up comedian.

Louis C.K.
Chris Rock
Bernie Mac
Billy Connolly
Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Eddie Murphy
Richard Pryor
Lewis Black
Bill Cosby

Silverman and lampanelli both very good. Garafalo was ok for a while but got too bitter imo.

Re: **2+2 Stand Up Comedian Madness Official Nomination Thread**

I'm seeing all the same names. They are all household names, comics so iconic that merely saying "stand up comedian" invoke their image.

No mentions of Bill Burr? no Patrice O'Neal? wtf people!!

Gary Gulman is fantastic live.

and Ricky Gervais is not a true stand-up comic. he is a writer actor celebrity who also does stand up.

Both burr and oneal have been mentioned. I would guess there are over 100 names mentioned so far including many who are far less houshold than bill burr.

Re: **2+2 Stand Up Comedian Madness Official Nomination Thread**

Pryor and Hicks are 1 and 2, its not remotely close, comedy completely changed because of those two.

Pryor
Hicks
Chappelle
Cosby
Murphy
Carlin
Izzard
Louie CK
Martin
Robin Williams

are my noms

Leary is close but ripped a lot off of Carlin.
Lenny Bruce and Rodney Dangerfield are pretty close too

Re: **2+2 Stand Up Comedian Madness Official Nomination Thread**

I like John Wing's bit,"Is Canada a World Power?" but I can't find it. Here he does a bit of Carlin at the end.
