During a conversation with a younger lady, it occurred to me that there is a generation of comedy fans out there who never heard of some of the best who passed too soon. SO in the interest of educating the masses, I offer an incomplete list of really good standup comedians.

 

For those of you who think Dane Cook is the funniest guy on stage, You Tube any of these guys and prepare to laugh your ass off.

 

Dennis Wolfberg

Bill Hicks

Mitch Hedberg

Robert Schimmel

Sam Kinison

Greg Giraldo

Richard Pryor

George Carlin

Buddy Hackett

Richard Jenni

Andy Kaufman

 

The list is incomplete...feel free to add your own favourite dead comedians.

and, at the opposite end of the spectrum, reflecting the age when I grew up ... Bob Hope, Jack Benny, that fantastic duo of George Burns and Gracie Allen, Lucille Ball ... etc.
