also really enjoy Eddie Izzard, Dave Cross, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Seinfield, and young Georle Carlin before he resorted to dick and fart jokes.
I considered Lenny Bruce, but I decided against him. He was funny in the beginning, but after they started busting his shows and harrassing him, EVERY routine was whiny diatribe about the authorities. It got to be nothing but 90 minutes of Lenny Bruce reading from legal papers and trying to make jokes out of things that just weren't funny.
