Off the top of my head, I would add Hedberg and Emo Phillips
Lose Paula Poundstone and Brett Butler. They were funny, and they certainly are better than shitty Amy Schumer and 99.9% of today’s female comics, but not all-time funny.
I like that Eddie Griffin, Bill Hicks and Martin Lawrence made the list. I think Garafalo probably belongs on there, but probably not Sandra Bernhard. Roseanne and Joan Rivers deserve to be there.
If I'm reading the list right Chris Rick is too high and Dave Chappelle is too low.
Dice would have to be at least top 10 or 12 because he sold out MSG (I think he was the first comedian to ever do that) a couple of times.
Newhart and Kaufman should have been higher in the list.
Pryor over Carlin??? Please.
Who thinks woody Allen is funny?
I thought the same
Greg Giraldo, endy story.
Also: I’d have to add Katt Williams who has consistently sold out big arenas for probably 8 or more years now. As far as Black comedians go, probably only Kevin Hart is bigger and out of all comedians he is probably top 5 in terms of tickets. He was able to work outside of Netlix and Comedy Central and promote his shows independently. Huge, loyal following.
