Eddie Murphy's Raw and Delirious are 2 of the funniest things I've seen.
Having said that I reckon Carl Barron and Steven K Amos are my favourites of the modern standup comedians.

Stephen K Amos is great. Like Cal Wilson as well.
Locally my two favourites are Sammy J and Randy. They're great together.

Wow. This is a tough one to answer.
Billy Connolly is and has always been my favourite. A lot of his stuff during the 80's was hysterical. Watch any of his stuff with Michael Parkinson. It's must watch chat show gold.
All that being said Dave Chappelle & Richard Pryor come a very close second.
At his peak Robin Williams was phenomenal, but a shout out has to go to Bob Nelson. His Jiffy Jeff boxing skit along with his American football routines are hilarious.
Louis CK is the best going around today I reckon.
Love my stand up heroes.

Bill Hicks and George Carlin. Unfortunately no longer with us.
Currently, Bill Burr is pretty funny.

Recently saw Paul Foot - What a crazy man! Smart individual as well.
I could watch Norm Macdonald tell terrible long form jokes all day. His delivery is just amazing.

Just watched both Bill Burr specials available on Netflix, really good, didn't loose it hard laughing but enjoyed the ride/s.
Also watched the Anthony Jeslenik special, laughed more than I did for Bill Burr but enjoyed it less overall.
That is some quality Norm Mac
We lost one of the all time greats this week imo..
RIP Norm MacDonald.
Was the ultimate king of dead pan, my fav. I've been on a binge all week...he was so good he was able to sacrifice being funny, to be so banal and seemingly unfunny that it becomes funny. That's comedic bravery!
Reckon he was a real comedians comedian, they all respected him because they knew the schtick he was doing and how hard it can be to pull it off, I mean no comic wants to bomb! But he went out actively trying to bomb, which I turn is even funnier.
He had the ability to knock even the most professional unflappable tv hosts off their game too

Lock, Jon Richardson and Jimmy Carr were so good together on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. I lose a lot of time getting sucked into old compilation clips on YouTube. Lock's stand up is quality.
Big fan of Bill Burr, Chappelle, Gervais, and Dara O Brianin too. Dara's interaction with the audience is the best I've ever seen.
Reckon lock had the ability to get away with saying the filthiest stuff because it was coming out of a seemingly mild mannered accountant
He also carried himself like someone who couldn't care what anyone thought.
Reckon he shared that with norm, the ultimate comedians gift, not gaf!
Then look at someone like jerry, takes it so serious, massages every joke til it's word perfect, syllable perfect, treats it like science
Exactly. I bought his stand up CD that came out post Seinfeld and I don't think I listened to it a second time because it just sounded too sanitised.
