The Top 10 Stand-Up Comedians on my Playlist Right Now

A note: There are plenty of awesome comedians that aren’t on this list, like Andy Kaufman, Bill Hicks, and Lenny Bruce, but I have to be honest and put down the ones whose records I actually listen to often. Cheers!

1. George Carlin (my favorite, and I’m sad he’s dead)

2. Steve Martin (the early records)

3. Eddie Izzard (action transvestite)

4. Richard Pryor (comic gold)

5. Chris Rock (best working comic)

6. Bill Cosby (early work)

7. Mitch Hedberg (RIP)

8. Chelsea Handler (gotta love a fellow lady lush)

9. Wanda Sykes (hilarious, and a pothead)

10. The Smothers Brothers (early Tenacious D)
