Lewis Black, Ron White, Dane Cook and Mitch Hedberg are my faves. I've seen Black and Cook live. I'd love to see White live and for obvious reasons I'll never see Hedberg. Rest in Peace Mitch.

I'm sure, however, that there are a number of excellent comedians who do not speak English, none of whom have appeared in this thread. There must be some great French, Japanese, Peruvian, Swedish, Congolese, and German comedians (amongst others) who speak not a word of English.

(Eddie Izzard, by the way, is fluent in French.)
Im going to go out on a limb and guess 90+% of the people on this forum speak english and only english. I wouldnt get your hopes up for a Perivian comedian being mentioned anytime soon.

[QUOTE=magician,Aug 11 2010, 01:52 PM] And I'm pretty sure they speak English, which is what I said.

I didn't say that they speak only English.

Um, Perivian?

Nor would I. (I've never met anyone from Perivia, personally . . . .)

However, in a discussion of the greatest comedian of all time . . . .

Don't whine at me about your shortcomings.
find me a non-english speaking comedian who is funny (with sub-titles of course)

maybe you're on to something but, then again there is the possibility you're not.

More likely a typo than a spelling error (in the sense that you don't know how to spell "Peruvian").

It was a joke. Sheesh!
