STAND-UP COMEDIANS
Richard Pryor is a legend among all. His funny ways made people laugh across America. He's had some problems with drugs, one of witch led him to hurt himself. I'm sure if you know any thing about Pryor then you would know how he lit himself on fire, and after managing to live through that, he made fun of himself and his problems on television. That's just the way he was... sadly he's no longer with us.
Jerry Seinfeld is most known for his sitcom Seinfeld. It is a great show but that's not all he's done. In fact he's done more stand up comedy than acting. His sarcastic style is sure to make you laugh. You can see segments of his stand-up at the beginning and end of each episode of Seinfeld.
Ellen Degenerous is another very sarcastic comedian. She is the only women comedian listed on this website. She is very funny and I've heard that she has her own show now. She's mostly known for a few sitcoms she's done and the voice of Dory the fish in Finding Nemo. Ellen has also done lots of stand-up, that's actually how she got some of her acting jobs.
Dave Chappelle is a hysterically funny comedian who is known for his show were he acts and does stand-up. Tune into The Chappelle show Wednesday nights at 10:30.
