Looks like most of my favorites have been tossed out there already, Carlin, Hedberg, Izzard, Wright, I also really liked some of the stuff Bill Cosby has put out over the years.  

Another favorite isn't exactly stand up but I usually found myself laughing anyway is Henry Rollins when he does a spoken word gig.  I'd post some links but his language is, shall we say.... colorful? But I've always found him to be really entertaining.

Recently Carlin, before him Andy Kaufman but they died.:(

I think all time, Red Skelton might have been the funnest man I have ever seen, he did it all, from stand up to slapstick ... those of you that never got to see Lenny Bruce or Mort Saul missed some of the very best.

Actually, if you look a couple of posts above that one, you'll see that I listed him also.

Soulyss, I love Henry Rollins too, but he's not so much comedy, though he can be really really funny.  Good call there man.

Wow... how could I have forgotten Red Skelton. I'd have to say he is my all time favorite.
