ayepatz Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 So who’s the best? As a Scotsman, I am bound, both legally and patriotically, to say Billy Connolly. If pushed to a top 3? 1. Billy Connolly 2. Richard Pryor 3. Bill Hicks Who are your top 3? (Feel free to post links - with the state this world is in, we could all use a good laugh.)

Phillys Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Read the title, thought to myself, this is easy... then read the first response and saw my answer!

slowsmoke Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Eddie Murphy would have to be in my top 3, for Delirious and Raw, they are masterpieces. Chappelle too. For spot 3, the competition gets a lot more fierce.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayman17 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I’m surprised by all the votes for Dave Chapelle. His tv show was funny, but as a stand up comedian, He’s not really in my top ten. Chris Rock’s HBO specials were ten times better than anything Chapelle ever did. “Bring the Pain” is a classic that is hilarious from start to finish. No Jim Gaffigan fans? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokyFontaine Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Norm Macdonald, Bill Cosby, Maria Bamford. I've had the good fortune of seeing all three live. Maria Bamford really transcends comedy. What she does borders on hilarious performance art. Honoraries: Mitch Hedberg Zach Galifinakis Steve Martin Robin Williams George Carlin Richard Pryor Bob Newhart Dave Chapelle Steven Wright Really, tons more. With what I suspect is a high number of Aussies on the forum, nobody is going to apologize for that hefty gal who did the stand-up special to announce she wasn't going to do stand-up? Name escapes me at the moment. I found her about as entertaining as a fake Cuban cigar consumed through the anus. We'll apologize for Dane Cook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 By sad coincidence, Tim Conway passed away today - he's right up there.
