Favorite stand-up comics

Who are your favorites? 

Some of mine are:

Bill Hicks
Doug Stanhope

Steven Wright
Dave Chappelle
Mitch Hedberg
George Carlin
Richard Pryor

Wanda Sykes

Margaret Cho

Eddie Izzard

Craig Ferguson

Nick Swardson

Zach Galifinakias (sp?)

There is also some young kid named Dmitry, but I cant remember his last name.  He's really funny though and uses a lot props.

Last name is Martin.  He's from The Daily Show.

George Carlin, hands down.

Mitch Hedberg was pretty brilliant. I also really like Jimmy Carr, Chris Porter, and Greg Behrendt.

I Love Paula Poundstone

and I have to agree with whoever said Dane Cook too

Bill Hicks, hands-down.  But I also absolutely love Rodney Carrington.

I like Alan Carr too. But only in stand-up. Not so keen on his tv chat entertainment stuff.
