    I like Billy Conelly & Jack Dee too - also Lee Evans is great at doing stand up comedy but the sitcom he does sucks

    Edited to add Dave Allen

    Robin Williams (did you see his special this summer... he leaves me weeping)

    Jackie Mason (saw him live ... I adore this guys humor)

    Bill Cosby (Bill Cosby Himself ... hilarious)

    Jonathan Winters (He was great ... brilliant and great)

    David Letterman (I've always loved his sense of humor)

    Chris Rock (Was his last show called Bigger and Blacker ... I must've watched that 100 times)

    Whoopi Goldberg (She's too funny)

    Larry David (The genius behind Seinfeld, and on HBO he cracks me up)

    Sinbad (Funny in that Bob Hope kind of funny)

    Bill Hicks

    Billy Connely

    Robin Williams

    These ones you mentioned are some of my favs too ...

    Chris Rock - this man can do no wrong (GENIUS)

    George Wallace - one of the funniest men I ever heard (and sweet, too)

    Letterman, Rudner, Degeneres (had a great CD by her at one time), Mandel, Diller, Mason, Winters, David, Seinfeld et al

    Thanks for reminding me of Victor Borge (RIP), he made piano into a whole new form of comedy (fondly remembered from childhood)

    JD - I don't recognize any of your names, sad to say, probably my lack of cable TV and no local comedy clubs - any of these people on tape?

    avishai

    I am aware of the legendary Lenny Bruce, but have never been privileged to hear any of his comedy. There's a movie with Dustin Hoffman, but do you know if he's available on VHS or DVD?

    thanks folks, you made me smile on (yet another) sleepless nite

    No one busted me up as good as ol' Sam Kinneson.

    I sure as hell miss him.

    I never cried so much in my life: LAUGHING.

    TS, everytime I've seen Bill Cosby, he's 'sitting' down.
