Lewis Black is a riot. I love his little finger gesture and his outbursts. His gripes are easy to relate to.
George Carlin has mastered the art of being offensive!

My 2 favotites.

I think the show was great but seinfeld is not really that funny as a standup, just my opinion, not knocking yours

Lenny Bruce was a hoot and loved his LPs.

There was a guy back in the '50s that was kind of in that
same bag but played piano and sang some really
sarcastic and comical tunes. We listened to him as kids.
A guy in the neighborhood got his parent's LPs of this
guy and we listened to those in his basement.
Just can't conjure up his name.
