Bill Hicks
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Eddie Murphy
I always tell you when you’re wrong, so I will give credit where it’s due.
Hicks was amazing. Before his time, and brilliant.
Carlin and Pryor are The Godfather’s.
And 4th, I love Murphy and kinnison, and saw them both live. But I don’t think I ever laughed harder than I did when I saw dennis Miller (pre him being scared by 911). His HBO show was gold. Makes Bill Maher look bad in comparison.
As for newer guys, I really like Kyle Kinane. I had bought tickets to see him at the paper tiger here in sa, but then the shut down happened.
Also, I saw Patton Oswald last spring at the Tobin Center, he’s brilliant.
