Who do you like in the way of comedians? I think Chappelle is my all-time favorite and I'm quite sad he doesn't work anymore, but out of people working today:
Aziz Ansari
Jim Norton
Patrice O'Neal
Ricky Gervais
Brian Regan
Jim Jeffries
I think Gervais might be my current favorite, but Aziz's comedy special "Intimate Moments..." was amazing. His R Kelly material is great and of course he's quality on Parks and Recreation. I don't know much about what's going on in Britain right now or if stand-up comedy is even that big. Q: Is Dane Cook like the Rusko of comedy?

Which panel shows?
You can't object to Frankie Boyle? I'm basing it on his stand up

I actually think Frankie Boyle is a bit overated. He's funny for a while, but it seems his comedy maxes out at just being as harsh as he can.
