I've recently found that listening to stand up during my runs makes the time go by super fast when i'm doing long distances. I focus on the comedy instead of the run which makes a 10 mile run not as dreadful.

I don't really know of many good standup comedians! I already have Daniel Tosh, Louis C.K., Robin Williams, and Bill Hicks...

Any suggestions of good comedians?

And don't say Dane Cook... i have his stuff but i've listened to it too much and it's not funny anymore... lol

Ready go!!

    Doug Stanhope. I hesitate to suggest him too the "unaware" because he is truly...unique. But if you like Tosh and Hicks, he isn't too far of a leap.

    WOW! How do you do it?! I tried to listen to comedy during my work out once and almost flew off the treadmill from laughing so hard at what I was listening to. LOL!

    Suggestions: Bill Cosby, Whoopie Goldberg, Seinfeld, Steven Wright, Ellen Degeneres (? SP), Paula Poundstone, Margaret Cho...all old school but funny.

    I love laughing, it's my favourite thing in the world to do!

    There are a few stand ups I like that have already been mentioned. Also a few English ones ... John Bishop, Sarah Millican, Frankie Boyle, Sean Locke to name a few....

    but you should definitely have a look for John Pinette! He is awesomely funny.

    Check this clip out about the water park ....

    The only stand-up comedian I have ever listend to is Bill Engvall. I used to have all of his CD's. Friggin' hilarious!

    He is the comedian who did the bit for stupid people - "Here's your sign."

    Mitch Hedberg (RIP) is my all-time favorite. I recently saw Wyatt Cenac's stand-up, and it was actually pretty hilarious, too.

    I love Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan. "There is the vegetarian hot pocket for those of us who don't want to eat meat but would still like diarrhea." Cracks me up. I think Brian Regan is hilarious. He is not vulgar at all, which I like.
