\"\"<\/a> I’ve been hooked on comedy albums as of late, particularly the genius work of Louis C.K.<\/a>, my new favorite stand-up comedian of all time. I think I have a non-sexual crush on him; no one makes me laugh as much as he does. It doesn’t matter how wicked or vulgar he gets, it’s all gold in my eyes. One of the things I most admire about him is how often his material changes instead of using the same old stuff over and over for decades. It’s a testament to just how funny he is.<\/p>\n

Also? Dane Cook totally stole his material! It’s so obvious now. Fuck Dane Cook anyway. I haven’t liked him or Carlos Mencia for awhile now and I take back what I said in this entry<\/a> because Louis DOES do the material better, *I* just didn’t know any better back then. You have to check out his old HBO series, Lucky Louie<\/em><\/a>, and be sure to tune into his current series, Louie<\/em><\/a> when it returns to FX later this year.<\/p>\n

If I had to put together a list of my other favorite comedians right now, they would be:<\/p>\n

The late, but great Mitch Hedberg<\/a>. There won’t be another like this guy. Until Louis came into my life I’d listen to Mitch’s work often. I’m still sad that he died.<\/p>\n

Nick Swardson<\/a> – his half hour show on Comedy Central, Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time<\/em><\/a>, is bizarre but great (who doesn’t love a wheelchair-bound cat addicted to drugs?), and he was so funny on Reno 911<\/em> as Terry (the gay guy on rollerskates). I absolutely loved him in Grandma’s Boy<\/em><\/a> which he co-wrote and happens to be one of my favorite movies. He also wrote another favorite of mine – Malibu’s Most Wanted<\/em><\/a>. No wonder Adam Sandler took him under his wing. The guy is hilarious!<\/p>\n

Aziz Ansari<\/a> – Ever since I saw him on the last season of Scrubs<\/em> (albeit briefly), I was hooked. He’s highly entertaining on Parks & Recreation<\/em><\/a> and his stand-up is engaging.<\/p>\n

Russell Peters<\/a> – His racial comedy never stops me laughing. I love when he does he’s accents, particularly the Indian one. “Someone gonna get a hurt real bad!” <\/p>\n

Dave Chapelle<\/a> – His stand-up can be hit or miss, but I always found the Chappelle Show funny and enjoyed him in Half Baked<\/em><\/a>. It’s too bad he’s dropped off the face of the earth.<\/p>\n

Strangely enough, the only one I’ve seen live so far is Aziz but I hope to change that once the other guys make their next circuit.<\/p>\n

Interesting how the list only includes male comedians. I think it has to do with the material. Women just can’t pull off talking about diarrhea or how much their kids are assholes and I like that sort of thing. If I had to pick one female I do find amusing, though, it would be without a doubt Wanda Sykes<\/a>, and she’s a lesbian, so it’s clear I only like comics who like women. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
