Stand-up comedians

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

I'd also second Sean Lock and Micky Flanagan as good Brit ones.

This is all I've got.

George Carlin was the best. Some other of my favorites are Richard Pryor, Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, Dave Attell, and Jim Jefferies.

I think had Bill Hicks lived and provided he continued to perform he would have gone down as the greatest stand up comedian of all time.

My list looks like this:

1. George Carlin
2. Lenny Bruce
3. Richard Pryor
4. Bill Hicks
5. Sam Kinison

I'm basing that on varying criteria. Influence, relevance, persona, quality etc.

Anyway. All 5 of these comedians are without question the GOAT

Richard Pryor is the goat. him & George Carlin are two of the funniest people I've ever watched. Chris Rock is an honorable mention, as well as Eddie Murphy's only two stand-up specials (Delirious and Raw).
