Of course, he's not my favourite. There's several comedians that come into mind that I find legendary, but Hughley is still a funny guy.
I wish I could remember in detail every joke that made me hiccup from laughing so loud, but here's one of the later ones I recall:
Hughley's late act sometimes involves making fun of various audience members, as he goes through entire rows and sections asking them about theirselves. Earlier in the show he remarked how ADD in his childhood years was just refered to as a case of r******ation (only he said it in much more vulgar yet funny terms, of course). So while questioning the entire front row, and seeing as how most of the people up-front mumbled and said "uhhhh..." and "I don't know" a lot, Hughly responded:
"You guys all came in on the bus didn't you? You're here for a field-trip, aren't you?"
I broke out in hysterical laughter. I wish I had a notebook to jot down all of his jokes.
So, any above-average or great stand-up comics you've seen perform lately or ever? Please, limit it to actual stand-up comics perfoming actual stand-up comedy. I imagine I'll see plenty of Chappelle fans. I hope to see some Pryor fans, too.
