Jeff Dunham Live Act

Jeff Dunham has taken the world by storm, and even though ventriloquists aren't my favorite type of entertainer, I have to admit that the guy is pretty dadgum good.  I remember seeing his Spark of Insanity tour promoted everywhere I looked, and I know he performs for sold-out audiences in every city his tour takes him in North America.  He uses 7 different puppets in his live comedy shows: Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick, Peanut, Bubba J, Sweet Daddy D and Melvin the Superhero.  Which one of Jeff Dunham's characters is your favorite?

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?

Chris Rock Live Comedy

Chris Rock is probably my favorite comedian of all time; I don't know why but I find just about everything he says extremely funny.  I'm obviously not alone, because he's had tremendous success throughout his career and sells out his live comedy shows.  Chris Rock always discusses controversial topics like homosexuality, slavery, abortion, prostitution and marriage, but you really can't fault the guy because he makes some really good points; it's just that nobody else would dare SAY these thoughts out loud!  What's your favorite Chris Rock moment?

Wayne Brady Live Comedy 2009

Wayne Brady is an amazingly gifted person, and it literally only takes about 5 seconds for you to become fully aware of this if you've ever seen him live or in person.  Honestly, as I've watched his clips on Youtube.com and thought about this blog, you really begin to run out of adjectives to describe Wayne Brady.  And the crazy thing is people say Wayne Brady is better live than what you see on TV! What blows my mind is that his voice alone, or his acting alone, or his comedy alone would be considered among the best in the world in those respective categories.  But instead, he's among the best in the world in all three?!?  Can you think of an entertainer that's as or more talented than Wayne Brady?

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?

Rhys Darby Live Comedy 2009

Rhys Darby is an incredibly funny entertainer, and I had never heard of him until a few weeks ago, but I can definitely see why he's so popular in his homeland of New Zealand and around the world. Rhys Darby uses a ton of mechanical sounds and noises in his stand-up comedy routine and it's really amazing that one person can have that much variety in his act.  I'd love to have tickets a Rhys Darby live comedy show, because I'm positive that his act would be even better in person than it is on TV.  Have any of you seen Rhys Darby live?
