Who Are The BEST Story Tellers in Comedy

Post by Electric Blue »

I have to say of course Richard is #1. That is his best talent!! For Rich to be on stage with nothing but a Mic & Mic Stand & paint these amazing visual stories with just his words. Thats Amazing!!

I assume Rich will be voted #1 which he should be but if you like lets make this topic:

1) Rank The Best of ALL Time Story Tellers in Comedy?

OR

2) What Comics Today do you think are great at Story Telling?

* For me.. I really dont have a huge list, I think what I like is Richard's Style of taking his time, never in a rush, painting every detail. Allot of Stand Up Comics seem to rush & or tell sorta short stories! I like Rich's Style of taking 15-20 Minutes to tell a story. I think that is a lost art.

My List:
1) Rich
2) Artie Lange (Today)
3) Howard Stern


I think everyone should check out Artie Lange! He is on Howard's show and wow is he good at telling a story. HERE is a Web Site I found where a guy has posted MP3 Files of a ton of Howard Stern stuff, but everyone check out Artie Lange's Storying Telling ( you will have to register because it is in a members section, after you do check out the "File Sharing" section.)

* Here is the direct link to the MP3 Files!

Check Out after you Register:

"Artie Crapping His Pants and Strung Out on Cocaine While Working on the Mad TV" ( The BEST One!)

"Artie Talks about His Whore in Vegas"

"Artie's Story About Robbing a Bank"

"Artie Talks about his Empty and Meaningless Life part 1,part 2 & part 3"

~ Jen why dont you Download these "Story Telling" Rants from Artie for Rich, I think you both will really enjoy them
