I think Alex Reymundo is HILARIOUS. I love how he gives a Latin point of view to all his comedy yet has a huge American accent and influence to him. He used to have a show on Comedy Central called Hick-Spanic (hes from Kentucky) but it got cancelled. A friend at Universal told me that he has a dvd set coming out thats his stand-up stuff and its named after his Comedy Central show. Check out some of his acts here: www.hick-spanic.comhe's funny right? |

I've never heard of him. (Can't check him out at work). I bet he's signed with Universal though. Heh.
Jim Gaff*gan...now there's a funny guy. (Hey, I like Pandas. Fella.)

I know I've made mention that I like my men folk tall.... but I'll tell you what.
I absolutely love Katt Williams.... all 5'4" or him. (I'm not sure how tall he is for sure... but that's my guess. Dude is short.)
He's on wild n' out... and his HBO special "Pimp Chronicles: Part 1" was Funny. I loved when he went off about Michael Jackson (mostly because I can't stand him either).
In the interest of being responsible... I won't provide a link, although there is plenty of his material on You Tube.... as his language would NOT get mama's approval.

Haven't heard of Dunham or Heffron. For me it's Demetri Martin and Jim Gaffigan.

Hometown boy does good. I know he's from Michigan, and I think I heard that he went to Eastern Michigan, too. I won't hold it against him. He's funny! As always... Laslo, your taste is impeccable.
I just can't get into ventriloquists.
I haven't seen much stand up by Jim Gaffigan, but every time he's on a show (The Boys? or Dr. Katz?) or even the Sprite? commercials... he's funny.
As for Demetri Martin... I love him. He could definitely be one of my pretend boyfriends.
Speaking of... you can add Gary Gulman (told you I like 'em tall) and Dane Cook to the list.
There was this comedian who's delivery style is a bit like Demetri Martin's that I used to love and who I thought was super cute... but I haven't seen him in YEARS. I had such a crush. And he was so funny. All I remember is that he was Jewish.... doesn't really narrow the field much though. ;D

Ah...Demetri Martin is Hi-larious (I'm pretty sure the hi part is correct too. LOL). I love his randomness. TG - Jim Gaffigan is MUCH funnier doing standup than he is in sitcoms, believe it or not. He was on Comedy Central last night as a matter of fact. He's on a lot, so you should try to catch him sometime.  |

I just can't get into ventriloquists. The thing is that you have to look past the great ventriloquist act he does. His stand-up comedy act is GREAT, imho. On his latest DVD (Spark of Insanity) he does a solo act at the beginning of his show... Great stuff, good writing, great mimick |

I'm still into the Blue Collar guys, but I love classic stand up. Robin Williams, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy (Before they started making family movies) and Rodney Dangerfield.

I was never a huge fan of the blue collar tour.... well, save for the one guy who was a chain smoker and always seemed to have a drink in his hand.
THAT guy was extremely funny.
I hear you with the old stuff, too.
Not just Pryor, Carlin, etc... but the more family friendly stuff.
I still recite lines from Bill Cosby: Himself on a semi-regular basis.
