Mitch HedbergPart 1Part 2 Part 3Who are some of your favorites?
And I just had to post:
Richard Pryor on the MafiaI also like Denis Leary, and I saw a show with Bonnie McFarlane that was pretty good. And how could I not mention Steven Wright?
As far as current comedians I've really enjoyed Jim Gaffigan lately. There are so many great ones from the past though, I'll have to think about it and put together a list.

Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Garry Shandling, Jerry Seinfeld..
I love stand up. We've got a Comedy Store here in Manchester and I'm there every month or so. I'm a big fan of the compere, Mick Ferry, even though he has DESTROYED me for being from Scunthorpe. Then he found out I moved to Salford. I was a comedians dream that night.
But he is actually incredible. I've seen tons of live comedians and alot have excellent routines. However only a select few are able to improvise. Mick Ferry can work off anyone and the crowd interaction is brilliant.
For more known comedians I'd go for Ross Noble. He's a genius. He's actually known for not finishing his planned routines because he digresses so much. I saw him live and still don't know the end to the story about prawns from Sainsbury's. But it doesn't matter, his natural interaction with the audience was so much better.
And a special mention for Dave Gorman. He is a real leg end.

Rickles for sure. I like the extemporaeous comedians like him and Robin Williams. I particularly like female comedians. How about Maria Bramford?
She is hilarious... and I forgot about Rickles

She's cool. But to go back to Rickles and his generation, the funniest standup I ever saw was Buddy Hackett. I saw him in Atlantic City twice and literally fell out of my chair laughing both times.
