Cosmo said:I gotta say, I got hip to Louis CK from the Lucky Louis TV show which I was kinda eeeh about. But I saw his stand up jawn on HBO last night and dude is bonkers.
I'm a big CK fan and liked Lucky Louie a lot, but I understand that the show had a limited reach. His new show, Louie, on the other hand is phenomenal and I can't see any comedy lovers not feeling it. There are only a handful of legends that can hang with the CK's output, in my opinion. Dude has material for days.
Lots of other favorites have been mentioned already. Just wanted to make sure Paul F. Tompkins gets a mention.

Boo o2!!! that shit was hilarious
i actually had an unpleasant dream that i was doing standup last night at a raucus birthday party. crowd reaction was ok, i was just pacing around telling stories...but in my head i knew my material was coming to an end. i was racking my brain trying to think of shit and i was drawing a blank. so i said, allr ight lets take a little break and get a drink. so i proceeded to the kitchen, got a drink, made some small talk and slipped out the backdoor and onto the next shit

While neither of these guys are masters of their craft like some of the above mentioned names, I think both of them have pretty solid stand-up acts to match their acting talents.

You don't like the Boyle?
Watching him being lanced might be funny.

Jim Gaffigan's stand up is phenomenal in my opinion - a true student of the game. Don't think I have ever laughed this hard at a clean comedian.
