emiafish 30979 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
