Eddy Murphy Richard Prior Sugar Sammy Russell Peters Gabriel Iglesia "Fluffy" Danny Bhoy Ricky Gervais Mitch Hedberg Bill Burr Tom Papa... Ya way too many. This list, like so many others, is never ending lol
I’ve seen most of the people on any comic a-list over the last 20 years with my wife, it’s definitely a priority with us. Having seen Carlin and Robin Williams (both right before they died) who were both great, I’ve gotta say the best I have ever seen live is Dave Attell. He’s just on another level and so rapid-fire. I don’t think there’s anyone alive who can keep up with him, maybe Eddie Murphy waaaaaay back in the day. I was hurting for 2 days after his set.
LOVE me some Bill Burr. Always enjoyed Kevin Hart until he blew up, then he got lazy with his comedy. Lately, I’ve been watching Jo Joy’s Netflix stuff, and Chappelle is always good.
Haven’t seen Judah Friedlander mentioned yet. His ability to improvise and work the crowd is impressive.
Mitch Herbert for sure, but also Nate Bargatze hits me just right. We saw him live a couple of months ago and I’ve never laughed that hard.
