Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The wedding wasn't much but the reception was excellent...boom boom.

Re: Top 10 comedians of all time
If you've seen Dennis Leary then at least you've heard Bill Hicks's best material live because Leary nicked most of it ...

Been a massive fan of Hicks for years and read a couple of biographies of him. Leary was nicking material even before Hicks passed away!!

Re: Top 10 comedians of all time
Being a fan I guess you've seen it but anyone else out there that likes a bit of thought provoking comedy/social-commentary not just "Men are crap" gags.
Having said that I have just watched a documentary on Bernard Manning so my church is broad one ...

Re: Top 10 comedians of all time
From my horribly uneducated overseas upbringing I would have to say the following:
George Carlin (love)
Robin Williams (during the cocaine phase - without it, he's not too funny)
Rhod Gilbert (I like a little bit of Welsh occasionally)
Ruby Wax (sue me)
Victoria Wood
Pablo Francisco
Jeff Dunham (Achmed the dead terrorist guy)
Conan O'Brian
Greg Giraldo (RIP)
Gilbert Gottfried (the guy that squints and talks in a really loud way)
