Robert Klein Comedy Tour

Robert Klein has been one of America's top comedians and entertainers for many years, and I always associated him HBO because it seemed like I saw advertisements for his comedy specials all the time during the 1980's.  Robert Klein has been a huge hit on the ocmedy circuit since the early 1970's and he's done a number of comedy specials, while also being invovled with various television series. He's shown off his versatility by making appearances in several popular movies, but it's his observational style of comedy that has made him such a hot ticket.  If you want to see a perfect example of his humor, check ou the Klein's HBO Special: The Amorous Busboy.  What's your favorite Robert Klein HBO Special or TV performance?  Did you see him in Reign Over Me?

Kathleen Madigan Comedy Tour

Kathleen Madigan is a very funny comedian whose fan base is growing like crazy. She talks about common and everyday events, but with her hilarious perspective you could listen to her stand-up comedy all night long. Kathleen Madigan is a cynic, but aren't most really talented comics?  And besides, she can pull it off, like this Kathleen Madigan-Larry King commentary.  I'd like to see her live and I can definitely see why she's popular with both men and women and with younger and older crowds.

Brian Regan Comedy Tour

Brian Regan is apparently loving life, as he's one of the hottest comedians on tour right now.  I'm happy for the guy too because he's funny without being dirty or lewd, which is pretty rare in today's live comedy world.  Brian Regan has been featured on Comedy Central a good bit and is touring all over North America.  He's often paid the highest compliment any comedian could be paid (in my opinion), which is that other comedians think he's fantastic.  I'd definitely like to see him live, and one of the best things about comedy tickets featuring Brian Regan is that me and my wife could both enjoy him equally as much.  Do you have a favorite Brian Regan joke or story?

Russell Peters Comedy Tour

Russell Peters is what I'd call a pleasant surprise, because I had never heard of him before browsing around Youtube.com and stumbling on some of his live stand-up comedy. I really, really like his style, because even though he discusses some difficult topics like racial stereotypes about Indians and Canadians, his style and stage presence removes any tension from the air and your left having a blast; at least that's what it looks like from the video clips.  Russell Peters is definitely one of the comedians I'd love to see live, because I bet he's even funnier in person. What's the funniest bit you've seen Russell Peters do?

Carol Burnett Comedy Tour

Carol Burnett is an amazing woman and entertainer who defied the odds in becoming one of America's most loved and respected performers.  I always loved The Carol Burnett Show even though I was kind of young when it was in its primetime run on syndicated television.  She has an incredible sense of humor, a beautiful smile and wonderful laugh, and her sensational career produced an amazing 22 Emmy Awards!! That's almost as many Emmy's as the New York Yankees have World Series titles!  Carol Burnett is still out there entertaining millions and she's someone I'd like to see perform live.  What's your favorite Carol Burnett moment?

Stephen Lynch Comedy Tour

Stephen Lynch is a really, really funny and talented entertainer, and he immediately caught my attention because I have a lot of respect for comedians who blaze their own trail rather than doing the same old routines that everyone else is doing.  Stephen Lynch is a great blend of talented musician and witty comedian, and I have him on my list of comedians that I want to see live in the near future. He seems like he'd be even funnier in person than he is on TV, and I'm very impressed with his ability to craft material from every day events that most people don't even pay attention to.  How many of you have seen Stephen Lynch live, and what was it like?

Louis C.K. Comedy Tour

Louis C.K. kind of takes you by surprise because he's not one of those comedians who is loud and brash and demands you pay attention to him whether you want to or not.  He talks about every day events like the relationship between Louis C.K. and his 4-year old daughter.  He's also formed a lot of great partnerships with other famous comedians like Chris Rock and he's making appearances all over television talk shows and comedy specials.  He's definitely someone I'd like to check out live.  I know there's millions of people who have seen Louis C.K. live; what was your experience like?  I bet he's even funnier live than he is on TV.

George Lopez Comedy Tour 2009

George Lopez is a comedian I always had a lot of respect for, not only because of the success he enjoyed personally but also because of the opportunities his success created for other Mexican-American entertainers.  Lopez started out by appealing to hispanic audiences, but his fan base has grown into millions or people from all walks of life.  But he's never forgotten his roots and he can still make jokes about latino culture better than anyone else on earth.  It looks like George Lopez is not going to slow down anytime soon, that's for sure!
