Who’s your favorite stand-up comedian? What’s your favorite routine, stand-up special, etc that they’ve done? Feel free post them below.
My all time favorite is Steve Martin who hasn’t done stand-up in decades but his absurdist style still feels fresh every time I hear it.
I also like Sarah Silverman, Bo Burnham, Christopher Titus and of course Mr. Conductor (George Carlin).
I haven’t really kept up with stand-up comedy too much in recent years but I’m always open to find some new joke czars.
Dylan Moran, especially his first stand-up release, Monster, was a breath of fresh air for me.
Oh yeah. I totally spaced on Dylan Moran. He’s great. I love his delivery. He can say the weirdest stuff with the straightest face.
Oh my gosh yes Dylan Moran is great. His incredibly surreal mental imagery combined with how matter-of-factly he says it is excellent.

Last but not least I only recently discovered the late Mitch Hedberg, and I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of him sooner. His rapid-fire delivery cracks me up:
Here’s three of my favourites - one about video games, one about 19th century science, and one about a physical affliction that I, too, suffer from.
When I have more time I’ll think of more. Comedy is good.
I love stand-up comedy, and I always try to write down jokes for the next time I hit an open-mic, because I can’t just do the jokes over video games all the time.
But here is some of my favorite bits -
Hannibal is great
