Top 10 Funniest Stand-up Comedians

The Top Ten

1 George Carlin

Friend of my mine introduced him to me couple of years ago. Since then, he's my favorite. Very observant and analytical to the bone. His material is educative and stimulates logical thinking. Worth watching again and again.M+369

I have to agree that Carlin is the best of the best... He not only jokes but he's serious about what he saying and makes perfect sense and what he says is fact..M+233

This guy has to be the best stand-up comedian ever! I am not American, not even a native English speaker, but I read 2 of his books, and I Know all his specials!M+164

Simply the bestMnew

 VoteE

 

 

 

2 Richard Pryor

I think a a lot of younger people voted on this list. Richard pryor is by far one of the funniest people to grace this earth. It's a shame he's so far down, let alone on the contenders list.M+96

Richard Pryor is the measuring stick of all comedians.. He was the best.. and always will beM+56

EVERYONE over the age of 40 knows that Pryor was the king. Ask any of the comedians on this list (the ones still living I mean) and they will tell you he was GOD!M+48

A comrfic geniusMnew

3 Louis C.K. Louis Székely, known professionally as Louis C.K., is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, and editor.

Clearly number 1. I've never laughed so hard in my life before listening to Hilarious. (His latest stand-up performance)M+204

The best out there today by a long shot. Not only does he speak so many true statements about everyday life that people never think about until they hear it but he makes it absolutely hilarious! To me he is so much funnier than Dane Cook could ever hope to be and I believe he rivals the greats of Robin Williams and George Carlin. If he continues to come out with more stuff as good or funnier than what he has out right now, I believe that he will go down as the best comedian of all time.M+127

I watch his show every week, he has me on the floor laughing every time I see his stand up, especially his special 'Hilarious'M+101

AMAZING MATERIAL, AND HE REFRESHES IT every time TOOMnew

4 Dave Chappelle David Khari Webber "Dave" Chappelle is an African American stand-up comedian, screenwriter, producer, and actor.

Never seen the Chapelle Show, so this is just based on his stand up gigs.

I think he's hilarious and it's so refreshing to see a black comic that doesn't just base 100% of their jokes on those boring "black people this white people that" nonsense he's got the right balance and I love the voice he puts on when he's pretending to be one of his white friendsM+206

His white accent is the best, hands down one of the best stand up comedians in history.M+161

FUNNIEST GUY EVER! I love it when he switches from his real voice to a white mans voice. BRILLIANT!M+151

He's a geniusMnew

5 Chris Rock

Funniest guy I have ever seen! There are a lot of people in Russia who likes his jokes
Wait for him in MoscowM+96

funniest guy I've ever seen he has a lot of fans in Bulgaria, we wait him here.M+77

Chris rock he's the best, he sets up his jokes very well and he makes sense
M+59

Too funny lmaoMnew

6 Robin Williams Robin McLaurin Williams was an American actor and comedian. Starting as a stand-up comedian in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he is credited with leading San Francisco's comedy renaissance. He died in 2013

On MJ's death - a doctor said: "Taking propofol to sleep is like taking chemotherapy because you're tired of shaving your head! "M+146

'We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture. 'M+145

hands down the best at ad lib quickest thinking comedian everM+105

Be one - Belle9090Mnew

7 Eddie Murphy

How can this guy not be better then Chris Rock! Chris started out because of him. nuff saidM+116

When we talk about his stand-up comedy... it is enough to say: WATCH "DELIRIOUS" AND "RAW" So funny!M+79

He has always been my favorite, especially when he played in "COMING TO AMERICA" I have always loved Eddie Murphy, he will always be one of my all time favorites. Great job Eddie Murphy and keep up the good work!M+53

EDDIE YOU SHOULD DO ANOTHER SPECIAL PLEASE ON NETFLIX OR SOMETHING IT WOULD BE AMAZING. IT WOULD BE A DREAM SHOW FOR ME TO ATTEND ALSO. PLEASE!Mnew

8 Bill Cosby William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author. ...read more.

The fact that he could do a whole routine and never use a swear word tells you volumes about is skill with the English language. He never had to work "blue" to be funny; he didn't have to go there.M+66

The fact that Dane Cook is above Bill is insane. I disown my generationM+51

He is more funny than anyone on this list, and he keeps it clean. Its easy to cuss a lot, but keeping it clean and hilarious is leaps and bounds beyond everyone here! Why the heck isn't Bill at least in the top 10?M+43

This guy was awesome until we found out he was a rapistMnew

9 Jerry Seinfeld

he's so good, he doesn't even need to swear to make you laugh - danajs24M+131

The Master of Comedy, He changed the Comedy world and took it to a new level!M+59

I don't think people who have not seen jerry's work should vote in here... It'll be a big mistake... he is the best... ever!M+42

Best Feel Good Clean Comedian. His comedy is so observant and makes you laugh and think at the same time. He is my BEST comedian.He is pure GENIUS.Mnew

10 Daniel Tosh

Daniel Tosh is thoroughly funny. He has no limits, no boundaries he wont push. He isn't afraid of making the crowd gasp, in fact, I think he enjoys it. He is "HILARIOUS, " if Louis C. K doesn't mind my use of the word. I enjoy his show "Tosh.0", but for the REAL DEAL you have to check out his hour special, "Completely Serious". He's a comic genius.
"My girlfriend is Korean... For this joke. "M+78

He's like Dane Cook, if Dane Cook actually told jokes.M+41

Should be #1 or at least #2, He is the best comedian I've ever seen and I've seen all of these people. Plus he has a top rated show Tosh.0 and is becoming a household name.

Just saying, If you want to laugh, Daniel Tosh is the way to go.

P.S. why is Dane Cook even on this list?M+30

He is so funnyMnew
