Comedians...

My favorite current comedian is Dave Attell. I cry laughing everytime I listen to his stand-up. Well my dream came true yesterday when I found out Dave Attell will perform at Stonehill (my school) this Friday. He is such a crazy guy and party animal... so crazy that they have in his contract he must leave campus right after the perfrmance because theyre afraid what he'd do if he partied in the dorms.
But needless to say I'm real pumped. But it got me wondering what people's favorite all-time comedians (or specific jokes/skits) were.
As I said my favorite now is Dave Attell but all-time my favorite is Mitch Hedberg... he was one of the most gifted funny men I've ever heard. I wanted to see him perform so much but his death prevented that... his story was a real sad one.

Eddie Izzard is my all time fave.....I like quite a bit of Tim Wilson's stuff....he falls flat sometimes.
There are so many good bits and I don't always know who does them.

Two Words:
Dane Cook
I must look like a madman every time I listen to him on my ipod becuase I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden, I burst out laughing, to what it must seem to an observer, for absolutely nothing.

I saw Mitch, Dave and Lewis all in the same show a few years ago. It was hilarious.
It was very sad to hear about Mitch
