Denis Miller, I like the fact that he blends pop culture references with classic historical references sometimes I have to go look up to fully get the joke. That is to say the jokes are funny the first time and, then funny a second time when you understand his nuance.

How can you say you like Bill Hicks and Dennis Leary in the same sentence?

Mind you, he's closely followed by Chris Morris and the Monty Python troupe.

I'm going to go with Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Lewis Black, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, and Denis Leary, in that order. I've seen Lewis Black live (even got to shake his hand and get his autograph at a meet-and-greet book signing after the show), and in person he makes even more of an impression than he does on TV.

Sperb list to which I only add Ricky Gervais.

Louis CK - He's pretty raunchy sometimes but I really like the way he delivers his jokes. I'm glad my brother introduced me to his material.
