So, I've done a lot of thinking about this "art form"... I have a lot of favorites. Growing up, my dad had a traveling job. I would steal his cassette tapes of various comedians and I instantly fell in love with that whole era of comedy. I grew up listening to Carlin, Cosby, and Pryor. Over the years, my taste for comedy has evolved quite a bit. If I had to list a top 5 (current guys/girls) it would include, no certain order:
1) Chappelle
2) Louis CK
3) Kevin Hart
4) Joe Rogan
5) Joey Diaz
I know this has been discussed before, so the repost police can suck a dick. [Reply]
Ron White used to live in the neighborhood next door to me (when I was married) - He drove an RV - no joking. Got a divorce (around the time I did) and he moved out of Suwanee Ga. [Reply]

My sister and some friends went to see Ron White a few years ago. They said he was so drunk they couldn't even understand him. [Reply]
Some raw KC comedians I like are Luis Powell and Jeremy Smith
More polished Mainstream style Comedians in KC are Scott Shaffer and Mike Baldwin. [Reply]
Local dude I grew up with , James Johann has great stuff. Used to open for the Blue Collar team. He's a close friend of my brother and our family. His influence is primarily Carlin and his writing is top notch (when he does his Rural Genius bits on the radio). [Reply]
