Re: poll: favorite stand-up comedians
Eddie Izzard's really the only one that I've seen all the through, besides Dave Chapelle in San Francisco.
Dressed to Kill is Izzard's best.

Dave Allen
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

Re: poll: favorite stand-up comedians
That list is the past month's Comedy Central specials
I have to choose Lewis Black. He is the most comically angry person in the world.
Honorable mentions to:
Bill Hicks-some of the most poignant comedy ever ("Two guys walk up to me after a show, stop me, push me around a little. They say "hey, we're Christians and we didn't like the joke about Jesus." So I said, "alright, forgive me.")
George Carlin-Despite being an angry old fart now he used to be one of the funniest men alive.
Lenny Bruce-Without whom none of the above would exist.
Eddie Izzard-Where would the world be without British Transvestites?

Re: poll: favorite stand-up comedians
personally, I vote Mitch Hedberg, but among the dead comics. (He died last year in a drug related incident)
Among living comics, I would have to say either Eddie Izzard or Jackie "the Joke Man" Martling, who was on the Howard Stern show, so his stuff is all about sex and porn, but very funny Example:
-3 guys and a girl get stranded on a island. A year goes by and the girl is so ashamed of what she is doing she kills herself. A month later the guys are so ashamed of what they're doing they bury her. A month more goes by and the guys are so ashamed they dig her back up.
That joke is just wrong.

Billy Connolly
