I'm bored. So here's a list of comedians that I really like.
In alphabetical order:
The Amazing Johnathan (wait, would that be under "a" or "j"?)
Todd Barry (eee! I just wikipedia'd him and found out his birthday's the same as mine [March 26th]! He's 15 years older though... but, finally! Somebody cool who shares my birthday! ... Except for James Caan. But I hadn't even heard of him until Daria told me that I share a birthday with him.)
Mike Birbiglia (also, his name is fun to say)
Lewis Black (favorite!)
Frank Caliendo (normally I hate impersonations, but he actually makes me laugh really hard)
Mario Cantone
Louis C.K.
David Cross (Daria got me into him)
Adam Ferrara
Pablo Francisco (I still love the movie-voice-over-guy impersonation)
Jim Gaffigan (my brother and I are both huge Jim Gaffigan fans. He'll recite the "you don't eat mayonnaise? Why?" bit, and I have glasses so I can do the "would you take directions from me" bit.)
Janeane Garofalo (yes, I still like Janeane Garofalo!)
Gary Gulman
Mitch Hedberg (he died WAY too soon!)
Jeremy Hotz
Eddie Izzard (the first time I watched him, it was on BBC America On Demand and I was laughing so hard that I could not breathe.)
Richard Jeni
Jackie Kashian (Another female video-game player. And apparently she likes the Zelda series! WooT! Anyone who has been paying attention [you have been paying attention, right? There'll be a quiz someday. Don't know when. It'll be a surprise. Have your no. 2 pencils ready] will know that I loooooove Zelda.)
Elvira Kurt
Denis Leary (possibly second-favorite. I have No Cure for Cancer and it makes me laugh every time I listen to it.)
Kathleen Madigan
Susan Murphy
Patton Oswalt
Greg Proops (his Comedy Central Presents special will make me absolutely crack up EVERY time I watch it)
Nick Swardson (again, my brother and I quote from him all the time)
edited 11.25.06 - Added more after Wikipedia-ing. Yes, I just used the word "wikipedia" as a verb. Also added lots of stuff that is in parentheses.
