Not from a stand-up, but it's my answer for the questions posed in the best and worst comedians threads.

Daniel Tosh is actually pretty great (when he's not hosting TV shows).
Saw him live at the Majestic in Dallas. Fucking HILARIOUS.
Todd Barry is pretty decent too ... Joe Rogan has a stand up cd that's pretty solid as well ...

Yeah, big Todd Barry fan, too. His bit about his stand-up reviews was epic.

Best bit is the one about telling his alma matter that he's a child pornographer to stop them from asking for donations.

tosh is good and all but regurgitating your jokes in your second ever 1 hr special is a no no in my book. i still like tosh but i consider him a hack these days due to that last special he had.

checkout matt fulchiron, he's a friend of my friend out in LA. went to his bday party yrs ago out there and met a bunch of ridiculous people, also saw the fat wannabe elvis nerd (beat the geek) get his ass handed to him by my friend in some friendly guitar hero, oh and i laughed my ass off and made fun of brian posehn when he pointed me to a pony keg at that party. LA doesn't know how to get down, none of those fools out west could hang!

Louis CK says he's more Mexican than Carlos Mencia which is true. Look it up.

Well...it's well known Mencia isn't Mexican at all, he's Honduran, so Louis wouldn't need much Mexican in him to be more Mexican than Mencia.

Louis CK is my usual favorite, but Norm McDonald's last standup special, Me Doing Standup, was one of the funniest acts I've seen in a long time. Insanely hilarious.

Ehh just saying Louis CK has a Mexican father and dual citizenship down there which is pretty cool and blew my mind.
Anyway those exact lines are Louis' not mine. He says he's more Mexican than Mencia.

i used to think he was "alright" but never badass... i haven't seen a comedian worth a damn since the 80's to mid 90's... everyone now is just watered down and society loves it that way. kids today have no idea what comedy is.

I don't find his tv shows funny at all, but when he's allowed to "go blue", he's pretty great, including the "practical joke" he played on his sister by switching out her mace anti-rape spray with silly string.
And the always classic: "Butt sex is a lot like spinach. If you're forced to have it as a kid, you won't enjoy it as an adult."

Louis CK both in terms of being funny and in being prolific. Guy has a new tour every year.

There's a comedy radio station on Pandora if anyone is interested.
These are some of the comedy albums I like but everyone has different taste.
Dan Cummins - Crazy with a Capital F
Dave Attell - Skanks for the Memories (vulgar as fuck but funny nonetheless)
Harland Williams - Har-Larious (this dude is fucking weird)
Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale (if you like safe, rated PG kind of comedy)
Louis CK - Hilarious (anything by him is good)
Mitch Hedberg - Mitch all Together
Stephen Lynch - Superhero (if you like comedy with a dude singing along a guitar)

Louis CK is great, love his stuff. I like Benson, Swardson, Stanhope, Rannazzissi, Rogan, Duncan Trussell, and many others... But I gotta agree with Joe Rogan, no one makes me laugh quite like Joey Diaz:

the funny thing about that Roast, is that I didn't think Trump himself was much funnier than the Situation but he's so much more respected, especially in New York, that he got a standing ovation after almost every joke :lol

I enjoyed Jo Koy the last time I caught his act...I don't normally care for stand-up, but Louis CK is also another I find myself laughing at. Watching Chappelle still cracks me up (his stand-up and his skit show...).

I remember watching bill in one of his early early shows and found him hilarious but the crowd was dead. He managed to only get a few chuckles and I kinda felt bad for the guy. Glad he was able to stick with it.
Oh and Kevin hart has good stuff.

At the urging of Joe Rogan I had to watch Louis CK and have to say I was really disappointed. I didn't think any of his act was funny, I turned it off after about 20 minutes, maybe I didn't watch long enough or saw a bad show but I just thought he sucked, especially when Rogan constantly pimps him on the podcast. "Im so fat that my underwear doesn't fit right" oh hilarious. I would be more impressed by someone "throwing their entire act out every year and starting fresh" if what they were talking about wasn't just stupid shit that isn't funny at all. "I get a whole pocket of sweat water just right in here because I'm so fat." Awesome.
My top 5 today
1. Dave Chappelle
2. Chris Rock
3. Jim Gaffigan
4. Patrice O Neal
5. Bruce Bruce
Honorable mentions are Joe Rogan, Pablo Francisco, Norm Macdonald, and Nick Swardson.
And Koriwhat you sound like some 60 year old Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck _The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ douche trying way too hard to prop your long haired generation up. There's great comics now just like there was then so stop being such a retard.

As previously mentioned, his Monday Morning Podcast is amazing. This week's where his girl sat in for half the show had me in stitches while working today.

Does he have anything really funny or am I right in thinking he is all flash and no substance?

Some of his specials from a few years ago are pretty good imo, he has really fallen off the last few years

Brian Regan and Lewis Black. I hate that Lewis is such a lib, but damn he is still funny even when he makes fun of people I like. (Burr was great. That was a funny clip. I saw that on tv. LMFAO!)
