Favorite Active Stand-Up Comedian/Comedienne

There are a lot of funny people out there. I've been to so many shows I don't even remember all the people I've seen. Who's your favorite ACTIVE stand-up comedian/comedienne? I want names of people I could still go see. I don't have a poll because the list would be virtually endless so just state the name. If you know a joke of theirs, please post it! If you can post a YouTube video of them in action, please do so! Mandatory laughing smiley.

Chris Rock is probably my favorite big name comedian. If you're going to Youtube,

Mitch Fatel is great. I have seen him twice At the Comedy Stop in Vegas. Dirty,

but great delivery.

Patton Oswalt.

Bill Engvall, Ron White, Larry the cable guy

Craig Shoemaker

I really like Brian Regan. He's usually on Comedy Central.

Lewis Black.

Demetri Martin

I used to like Carlos Mencia, but I think he's become very negative with his TV show.

I'd have to second Lewis Black.

Jon Pinette
Gabriel Iglesias
Jim Gaffigan (see his bit on "Bacon")

The big yellow one's the sun.

I use his "Are these my new glasses?" every time I go to the eye doctor.

Ron James

Me!

Margaret Cho
Dave Attell
Lily Tomlin (not stand-up in the strictest sense, but not a TV comedian)

Honorable mention for Minnie Pearl: no longer living, but I probably never laughed harder in my life than the one time I saw her live (well, maybe, Bette Midler - but another genre stradler). Who knew women could be so, um, manly?

None.

They are all dead.

George Carlin
Bill Hicks
Richard Pryor
Sam Kinison
Joan Rivers

Carlos Mencia is ok with his delivery but he usualy takes stuff from other comedians ie. George Lopez.

Jim Gaffigan
Demetri Martin
Greg Fitzsimmons
Some of Dane Cook's stuff, although I think he is becoming more and more of a tool
