Clever/witty/profound/plain terrific stand-up comedians?

[Scyze]

Hi folks, I'm making a response to an "artifact" (piece of writing) about parables, and I decided to do a video remix response of several comedians on that topic. So, I'm here asking you, what're your favorite comedians that you know about? If they ever say anything remotely related to parables, that's terrific, too. Otherwise, we can share our enthusiasm here while also answering my question. :v:

[Fancy Kitty]

Emo Phillips is quite funny.

Lewis Black, hands down.

[B]EDDIE IZZARD[/B]

My favorite comedian of all time. He's British, an (executive) transvestite and downright fucking hilarious.

Get the DVD "Dress To Kill", my favorite by him. Other performances (that are released on DVD) are; Definite Article, Glorious, Unrepeatable and Circles.

A few clips from Dress To Kill:

[b]BILL BAILEY[/b]

Just like Eddie Izzard, Bill is a British comedian. His performances are quite special because aids his performance with musical instruments.

My favorite one by him is Tinselworm, it's uploaded on Youtube in 10 parts.
