Ehhhhhhh. I'd say Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams would definitely be up there as best comedians.

Also, this is hilarious (Donald Glover): http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/9j6mkz/stand-up-donald-glover--people-police

Cicjose

Richard Pryor or Bill Hicks

hard to go past the 2 Ronnies for any one old enough to remember,

British Comedy in the 70's and 80's hard to go past.

I know he really isnt the typical comedian but Hamish Blake from Hamish and Andy has made me laugh the most times.

Jerry Seinfeld is great too.

its me lads

Carl Barron is a ripper.

Also like Hamish and Andy, although they probably don't count as real comedians. Hamish cracks me up.

had this argument with my friend but a comedian is a professional entertainer who uses any of various physical or verbal means to be amusing.

not a stand out comedian i think when most peole think comedian they think stand up.

on that note all my friends love Dave Chappell

So, maybe they're not the greatest comedians, but Adam Hills and Stephen K Amos are very funny men.

Honourable mentions to Fear of a Brown Planet - If you have no idea who they are, you should seriously check them out.
