Big fan of CK and Burr.

How'd you not put Seinfeld? He's the gold standard. The high-brow, the clean cut.

I voted CK, though I didn't think he was even that funny until he was in his 40s. Then he became consistently hilarious.

Prime Dave Chapelle was amazing so he'd be second. Then in no particular order I'd have Bill Burr, Ralphie May, Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor and George Carlin. After that it's much much harder to rank em.

I wouldn't put Doug Stanhope with the top comedians, but his show, "no refunds" was easily for me at least one of the best shows of all time. I'd put that up with any of them.

You probably have to have a pretty dark weathered sense of humor like me, to enjoy him though. Here's a piece from his no refunds show. The whole thing is on YouTube if you wanna check it.

Daniel Tosh and Bill Burr are my favourites ATM all time Eddie Murphy and Seinfeld.

Going to see Seinfeld in August.

No mention of Patrice O'Neal? Rest in peace to the big fella, but I have never laughed so much in my life then when I saw him live.
