    I know that this isn't exactly "music", but stand-up comedians do release CD's of certain shows. So the question is, who are your favorite stand-up comedians?

    Although he rarely does stand-up comedy due to his acting career, Robin Williams is my favorite. He always cracks me up. I bought, "A Night at the Met" and it's probably the most hilarious stand-up comedy that I have ever listened to.

    I also have both of Mitch Hedberg's CD's, "Mitch All Together" and "Strategic Grill Locations." They also contain excellent stand-up comedy. As some of you know, Mitch Hedberg died a few months ago. He was 37 years old. May he rest in peace.

    So, your favorites?

    I really don't listen/watch stand-up, but I do have Robin Williams' "Live at Broadway" (the one that he did for HBO) and it is fucking hilarious, don't have "A Night at the Met" though

    I don't really like Stand-Up comedy.

    The only one that I've ever really somewhat enjoyed was Bill Cosby's, and some guy that my friend gave me a few "routines" of. I'll have to find out who he was.

    Chris Rock is hilarious especially his last one he did, I also like Dave Chappelle and Mitch Hedberg.

    I saw a routine of George Carlin's yesterday. Pretty funny and truthful stuff.

    Besides that, Robin Williams is the shit, Bill Cosby, Brian Regan.

    He isn't really stand up but Billy Birmingham (a.k.a The 12th Man) is the funniest comedy CD writer I have ever heard.

    Yeah, he's pretty damn funny as well. I have one of those day to day calendars with quotes from him. I laugh every morning.
