    Man how come Chris Rock is at the 5the place? I'd put him right after Dava Chappelle.

    Chatch robin williams started as a stand-up comedian I think.
    Also i seen some of his old interviews for the TV and he was crazy.
    Must have been the crazy amounts of coke he was on lol!!!
    Also steve martin was funny on his tv interviews also.

    I've enjoyed Billy Connelly's stand up comedy
    A few weeks ago, also caught Russel Peters at the Opera House. He does make time fly with his material.

    In no particular order: George Carlin, Bill Bailey, Ricky Gervais. I used to like Peter Kay but he's overated now, and that 'Garlic Bread' thing just gets on my nerves now.

    Chris rock for sure. even his old stuff is very edgy. I like Dan cook too and he's already done a few movies. Pretty good considering he hasn't been around that long.

    1. Eddie Murphy
    2. Eddie Murphy
    3. Eddie Murphy
    4. " "
    5. " "

    Eddie Murphy is the best. I wasn't into his stand-up comedy that much because I was young when he was doing it. But I love his movies! Norbit is my favorite so far!

    Bill Cosby
    Richard Pryor
    Robin Williams (who did start out as a stand up comic)
    Billy Crystal
    Ellen Degeneres

    Wow, I think I am showing my age :) Incidentally Bill Cosby was on the Tonight Show tonight and is still hilarious!

    Now I feel like I need to go on a stand up comedy binge on Netflix...
