one of my guitarists had us listening to a CD a few months ago - it's a guy with a weird name that I can't remember, who did a really funny routine about black people not being allowed to call white people crackers. he was pretty hilarious.

Brad Stine is great.

And I have always wanted to see Bob Saget do stand-up just because I have heard it is so opposite of the safe corniness of his TV personae.

Bob Saget??? Doing adult stand up?! That's just
wrong....WRONG!

George Bush

Pablo Francisco is hillarious! George Carlin is alwaysgood too

John Pinette- "You go now!!!!! You here four hour! You no come here anymore!!"

Jeff Dunham-Peanut The Wuzzle rocks!!!!

And even though his material is profane soaked and full of sex jokes (two things that tend to turn me off when overdone)-Dave Attell. Pure comical genius!

And I can't forget: The Blue Collar Comedy guys (favortite is Larry The Cable Guy).

Oh yea, Bob Saget's stand up is FOUL. Funny as hell, but really filthy. I caught his stand up special "That Ain't Right" on HBO about a week ago, my wife and I couldn't believe some of the stuff that was coming out of his mouth! My wife was like "That just scarred me for life, I can never watch 'Full House' again!" Hahaha!

The highlight for me was towards the end of the show when he pulled out a guitar and sang a couple of songs called "My Dog Licked My Balls" and "Danny Tanner Wasn't Gay"

Dennis Leary. Met him on the Lock n Load tour when I was 14. He was hilarious and quite friendly too.

Also like George Carlin, Stephen Lynch and Bill Hicks.

I tried watching that one, but couldn't get through it. I'd heard that he was dirty and not at all like his "Full House" persona, but it just seemed like he was cursing for cursing sake. I don't get offendend by foul language, but at least make it funny. Saying f**k every other word just seems juvenille and unintelligent to me.

Yea, I'll admit, it got to be a bit much after a while. We happened on the show after it had already started so we only saw about 15 or 20 minutes of it. That was enough of a dose for me. I don't think I could've watched the full hour.

COULDN'T AGREE

I am really liking Jeff Dunham, the guy with the puppets. I saw him the other night and he was truly hysterical.

Dave Chapelle and George Carlin, bitches!

He apologizes within the first two minutes of the act, saying that it's all just for shock value.

I saw about half of Jim Norton's new HBO special the other night and laughed so hard that I could barely breathe... that dude is SICK but sooooooo funny... those of you who are easily offended by foul language and sex jokes are advised to steer well clear of this one, however.

THE DICE MAN!!! That guy is hilarious. Has anyone seen the thing of him making fun of Shadows Fall? Very funny, especially since I hate that band with a passion.

What happened to this guy?
