1. Richard Pryor

An old list, but I like comedy. Its good to here what others think about what you find funny, pity they put Eddie Izzard so far back, I really like Eddie’s style. Don’t think Richard Prior should be number one, Carlin is great, and Bill hick is also great, sick but great.

The two I like aren't even mentioned, Mitch Hedberg and Jeremy Hotz - mind you, I'm no connoisseur of comedy. Thanks for the list. I'm going to check some of them out.

Brimstone, I was looking for Eddie Izzard's name on the list. I really like him too.
