The Top Five Stand Up Comedians Today

Post by rchrhds29 »

I really love going out to comedy clubs to see stand ups, although I haven't seen some of my favorites, here are who I think are the best five stand up comics around right now.

1. Carlos Mencia (got tickets to see him June 22 at DC Improv, super psyched!!)
2. Christopher Titus (seen live twice)
3. Ralphie May (seen live once)
4. Katt Williams (never seen live)
5. Brian Regan (never seen live)

Had hard time choosing between Brian Regan & Lewis Black for #5 but went with Regan, also if Dave Chappelle becomes active again he'd probably instantly be #1.

Some other stand up comics I've seen perform live:
Gabriel Iglesias
Ron White (twice)
Bobby Lee
Tom Arnold (AWESOME!!! If he's in your town go see him, trust me, hilarious!!!!)
Mike Birbiglia

No mention of Louis CK? Fail. Seen him a couple of times. He has me pissing my pants with his stories.

Lewis Black is up there.

I've never actually seen Louis CK, live or his specials on tv, I've heard his show on FX is incredible thou. LOL, I said I had a hard time choosing #5 between Brian Regan and Lewis Black, so Lewis Black is definitely great.

I did put Carlos Mencia as #1, and definitely think he is #1.

But, if you want to see the greatest stand up set ever pick up Christopher Titus's very first special "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding", it's only sold via his website thou so you can't get it on Amazon or anywhere else just his site. But, "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" is just worlds above any other single set. If you ever saw his short lived show 'Titus' on FOX, the show was basically a WAY tamed down version of Norman Rockwell.

Oh, P.S. logosteel your in Baltimore area right? Carlos Mencia is gonna be at the DC Improv from June 20 - 23, I'm going on 22nd, if your a fan of his you should get tickets and make it down to DC for one of the dates, tickets are only $28.

Mencia is not only nowhere near number one, he's easily bottom 10 of the mainstream comedians out there. And Louis CK isn't even mentioned? OP, I pray for your soul.

This is actually on topic and a serious post. I got to see Joel McHale live recently and the man is awesome. He went 30 minutes over his scheduled time (he was the headliner), had an entire 30 minute set unique to our location, and his actual set was fucking hilarious. Now THAT is awesome. Not Mencia's dumbass. Hey let me make a joke about beaners!

LOL jimmy311: I can understand people have different tastes but people have different tastes and Mencia has a HUGE following of fans, and honestly the whole Joe Rogan accusations have been completely found bullshit by anyone who looks into it.

I actually just saw a Louis CK special a few days ago on Comedy Central, he is really fucking funny, wouldn't put him as one of my favorites though but still very funny.

I've never seen or read anything that said Joe Rogan calling out Mencia as a joke thief is not a true story.

Please provide this info. Joe Rogan is A Man among men

The fact that someone is defending Mencia, and that itself is not a joke, is funny in its own right.
