chriswright picked Ross Noble:

How did I forget to add Jimmy Carr? Good choice jonnypayne. I went for Ross Noble, he's actually not as well known as some so if you don't know him go on to youtube and watch his 'post offices and sexy talk' stand up scene. Hilarious.

Gstine picked Dave Chappelle:

Why are people choosing Robin Williams? He's not funny!

And he used to steal jokes. Pathetic.

ThinkPink20 picked Demetri Martin:

Demetri Martin is my favorite comedian ever. He's just got a ton of oneliners, and the ways he delivers his jokes (guitar, drawing, piano) all make him more fun not only to listen to, but to watch.
