Top Ten Stand Up Comedians of the 2000s
This is a list of the best stand up comedians in the 00s.
Louis Székely, known professionally as Louis C.K., is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, and editor. Poor Louis. Just an ordinary dude with the balls to go for it -- it was responsible for his professional death as well as his professional life. Right now, he's missing the opportunity of a lifetime by playing possum. I wish he'd stand up to the super-sensitive morons who have been giving him money to be outrageous for years. Just because they don't think Louis' most radiant member is as radiant as Louis thinks it is? Lighten up...
Comedian of the soul. (I my own words). He's not ashamed to look at his own faults and finds the homur in real life experiences.
And why the hell isn't Eddie izzard up here, the man is one of the most intelligent comedians I know of.
Louis C.K is the everyman of comedy and that's why everyone will relate. His show Louie is like Seinfeld on steroids...a mixture of hilarity, drama and intellect. He is truly the comedian of our time
Come on! Louis is one of the best stand up comedians ever! He should at least be number one on THIS list! Better than all these guys by a long shot. Kevin Hart is second.
David Khari Webber "Dave" Chappelle is an African American stand-up comedian, screenwriter, producer, and actor. Best show of all time also best standup with killing them softly. He made the stand up scene what it is today
Just watch a little Chapelle show or one of his Netflix specials and dare to tell me I'm wrong in naming him the best.
Best delivery. Knows how to work a crowd
Killing them softly is all I gotta say
Mitchell Lee "Mitch" Hedberg was an American stand-up comedian known for his surreal humor and unconventional comedic delivery. Easily the best one-liner comedian of all-time.
I will always love Mitch. May he Rest In Peace.
Christopher Julius Rock III is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director. After working as a standup comic and appearing in small film roles, Rock came to wider prominence as a cast member of Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s.
Great comedian, his twisted sense of humor will push boundaries most comedians would not think about. Love his material. "I was having sex with this girl... lets say shes 18" never know whats coming out of his mouth next. Has suspense in his comedy, not just stories about his life, some may be but you can't tell, just gotta laugh and move on. can't get to him and he will teach you to take things much less seriously.

The guy is awesome!
He should 3rd at worst.
Brian Joseph Regan is an American stand-up comedian who uses observational, sarcastic, and self-deprecating humor. His performances are clean as he refrains from profanity and off-color humor. Brian Regan is bar none the best stand up out there. When you don't need to use profanity to keep an audience rolling, that's something special.
The emergency room act? The poptart act? The card store act? Come on he is one of the best comedians of all time.
Robert Pickering Burnham is an American comedian, musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, actor, and poet. Though he'd probably hate to hear it, he is an utter genius.
