Favourite comedian?

Richard Pryor, Tommy Cooper, Bill Hicks have been mentioned. I'd like to add Bill Bailey and Emo Phillips. And Alan Davies was very good when I saw him years ago.

I would have to say Dara O'brian as well, very funny man.
Dave Chappel is a good call as well, very good.
I went to see Chris Rock at the 02 last year and he was better then expected.

A bit of the brilliant rhod gilbert

i love sarah silverman

mike reid is my favorite when he was alive!

Frankie Boyle without a doubt.
The guy is hilarious

Al Murray patriot and genius

Two from completely different ends of the comedy spectrum but both comedy legends in my eyes.
Steven Wright and Lee Evans.
