Aren't Martin Lawrence and Will Ferrell comedy actors, or have they done stand up too?
I think we should draw a line here otherwise we could end up with all kinds of comedy actors like Jim Carrey etc. and that's another thread imo.
This thread should really be about stand up comedians, or comedians who have their own comedy show I reckon.

how DARE you
I'm not a huge fan of comedians in general Don't like staged comedy. I'd rather laugh at someone during regular conversation rather than having someone try to make me laugh.

Brian Regan is the one guy that can successfully made me laugh regularly.
