Haven't seen anything new of his in awhile, but his "Hot and Fluffy" special had me rolling.

Handsomest, too.
I watched his special last night on Comedy Central. It was good but not as good as I was expecting.
Alright alright alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Meet Jo Koy a few years back. Good dood. Couple homies are his marketing manager and road manager. His early stuff was more universal. Recently been running the asian niche. Sucks that he was booted off chelsea handlers tv sitcom for making a gay joke during one of his stand up shows. Used the F word(f#gg#t)

Going to see Jeselnik this week. Then Joey Diaz next week.
If you are in the Los Angeles area. Death Squad(joe rogan/brian redban and some homies) puts on an awesome show at the Ice House in padadena on fridays. Check out the deathsquad podcasts and joe rogans. These guys and their crew are killing it. Almost all of them are doing podcasts.

What you'd think of Jeselnik? Dude is one of my favorites, love the dark humor.

I dont really see much similarity between him and Mitch, but I like him. Pickle juice

Great line from Jeffrey Ross during the Sheen roast: "Some people are saying Anthony Jeselnik is the next Greg Giraldo. ... Let's hope so."

For me it's a tie between Bill Burr and Louis CK. I really like Hannibal Burress as well. He's third.

Louis CK is in a class by himself right now
Bill Burr, another Boston guy like LCK and just kills everytime out
John Pinette-HS classmate of mine , good guy. Had a lot of heat 7-10 years ago. Still kills me.

For me, it's Patton Oswalt.
But all these guys are very funny:
Louis C.K.
Eugene Mirman
Brian Regan
Jim Norton
Dave Attell
Brian Posehn
Steven Wright
R.I.P Greg Giraldo, because he would have been at the top of this list.

Good list. We have the exact same taste in comics.Need to mention the Roastmaster General, Jeff Ross.
Ross kills me.

Love Ross on the roasts. His standup special, however, was a disappointment.

Check out the two lines Giraldo hits Oswalt with at this roast.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD4aisW19ac&feature=related

I know that Ross and Lampinelli are regarded as two of the best modern roasters. But I think no one ever killed like Giraldo.

Yeah, he had a real knack for it. He was fantastic.

Yeah Mitch was more quick bits on tons of stuff and Hannibal likes to shlep his material out longer, but the mannerisms and the content is similar. PS I was listenting to Hannibal speak about his life on a podcast a few weeks ago and he said when he first started doing comedy people told him he sounded like Mitch. Eventually when he was still a no name and Mitch was headlining he went into the greenroom where Mitch was chilling before a set and asked if he could do a few minutes before Mitch. He said Mitch was such an awesome dude that he allowed him to do the few minutes in front of large crowds and Mitch had no idea who he even wasI dont really see much similarity between him and Mitch, but I like him. Pickle juice
Hannibal said that was his first real break, since he got noticed by more people and when asked if he would allow a young starting comedian to open for his sold out shows he said "no fing way man!"

these are my top 3, but its no Tie, CK is a clear #1.Love that others are starting to catch on to Hannibal, dude is hilariousBuddy of mine was raving about how funny the Dane Cook HBO special was some years back, so I decided to watch it. Not funny, and I didn't need anyone else to tell me he wasn't funny, so I guess I was cool before everyone else...The guy's obviously not everyone's cup of tea but I find him hilarious. I've got 3 of his dvds. He's funny. He's just become cool to not like.

Ralphie may is awesome
Also a Kevin Hart fan.
Really wish Katt Williams would put something new out. I can nearly quote all his specials but his delivery still brings me to tears.
Original Kings of Comedy is hands down the best comedy special I have ever seen.
Ricky Gervais Out of England is stellar as well.

Y'all should check out The Comedians of Comedy. Posehn, Oswalt, and Galifianakis are big contenders in this race.

There are quite a few strong comedians going right now, but agree that Louis C.K. is at a whole different level. I can't fathom a male not laughing hysterically multiple times during any of his specials. Women, sure. But if you're a dude who isn't one of the d-bags he hates passionately, you should be completely on board because he's a genius at exploring the male psyche and making it funny as ####.

He's awesome, but like any comedian some bits don't hit home for me. But Louis CK has said how he's to the point of completely scrapping everything and starting from scratch each time which many comedians don't do. Some of my favorite bits are Can't smoke pot and both NSFW.

one vote for Nick Swardson.
He's sick and twisted and I like it.
