I was sure I remembered talking about this on here so I did search for a thread but I couldn't find anything. They don't have to be still working, it can be anybody from any era. There are loads I like, I'm finding it quite hard to choose now, but I think my favourite of all time has to be Johnny Vegas.

    It has to be Stewart Lee for me, he of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle fame (BBC 2).

    I like Hicks sometimes but prefer Leary and his presentation, as for stealing material most comedians do so sooner or later. It is all about delivery......

    Carlin, Gervais, Murphy (before he lost whatever made him funny), C.K. and, above all, Bill Hicks, make my top five.

    George Carlin, 80's Eddie Murphy, Louis C.K., Denis Leary, Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle, and Anthony Jeselnik.

    Speaking of Murphy, I've watched both 'Raw' and 'Delirious' at least thirty times a piece, and I just recently found rare footage of his 'Pieces Of My Mind' tour. It's only about nine minutes long, but the clip had me in tears, and I would kill to find the VHS of it.

    I think Peter Kay has to be one of my own personal favourites.
