Discussion Favorite Standup Comics?

[closemyeyes]

Mine are Ricky Gervais and George Carlin - their views on people/humanity, god/religion and life in general resonate with me and they are immensely funny.
I'm neither right or left leaning, so I truly appreciate when a standup artist can say something funny about the bullshit around us in daily life, about fascist people who force their views and unsubstantiated beliefs on others, without fear of cancellation or backlash.

I'm putting a few youtube links from them.

George Carlin:



Ricky Gervais:



Do you know any more?
Who are your favorites? (posting links would be appreciated)

Note: If you find any of my favorites or anyone who posts here to be offensive to you or don't agree with them, this thread is NOT the right place to discuss/rant about that. Only positive inputs please.

Bill Burr, Richard Pryor, Norm MacDonald are all great and basically any clip from them you find is almost guaranteed to be worthwhile. But I'll link Shane Gillis cos he's cracking me up lately:

My two favourites are Bill Hicks and Carlin, no contest. I also enjoy some Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Ricky Gervais, even some early Louis C.K., but Carlin and Bill are the ones I listen to on a regular basis.

Oh I super like Bill Burr! But I've never heard the others on your list, thank you!

Oh Louis CK is awesome! In fact, I probably should have included him up there on my list! But I honestly have never heard a few of the names you put here - thank you!

Oh he is another unfettered comic! I really like his politically incorrect and expectation subverting punchlines
