Who is your favorite?

DANE COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kidding! I fucking hate Dane Cook.

I do, however, love Sarah Silverman. Joe Rogan, Patton Oswalt and Doug Stanhope are real good too. My all-time favorites are Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Bill Hicks (sadly, all three are dead...at least to me)

As far as impersonators (impressionists), that's tough. There are people with talent like Frank Caliendo, Craig Gass and others, but they're not particularly funny. Jim Breuer does some funny ones and Sour Shoes from The Howard Stern Show is incredible.

Impressionist? Sorry for using the wrong word ... Frank Caliendo is good.

I'm a big Beatles fan. I found the Engish comedian and impressionist Stevie Riks amazing.

He does a "teach yourself" series: John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison great. As well as a skit doing both Mick Jagger and Keith Richard. Mick is trying to get into the bathroom while Keith is teaching a guitar lesson. Hilarious stuff.

Stevie is a gifted musician.

Besides the Beatles and Stones, he does alot of other singers and musicians as well.

Yes, he's on youtube.com. Check him out there.

All the dead ones. Most of the good ones who are still alive lost their flair long ago.

I wasn't correcting you..both terms work. But some people think of the dudes who dress like Elvis or whoever when they think of impersonators. I was just clarifying in case I misunderstood the question.

I honestly never heard of Risk. Just looked him up and I can only find an Elvis bit.

really starting to like Daniel Tosh

 

[L3ggy]

Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy of the alive ones.

 

[Crazy4theBrat]

1) Rodney Dangerfield - best ever.
2) Andrew Dice Clay - circa late 80's.
3) Eddie Murphy - Back in his "Delirious" and "Raw" days.

He's always been my favorite, and you can't deny that this is/was classic and groundbreaking.
