Black Comedians (Continued Pt.2)

[LKizzle]

What’s up Richard fans,

I am doing a school project on Black Stand-Up Comedians. I will be doing a list of Greatest Black Stand-Up from 1 to about 50 (I might go a little over). This is where I need your help. I have the first 20 or some comics because I got them from Comedy Central’s list. But their were some comedians they forgot, so I thought of some names that weren’t on the list. Every couple of days, I will put 10 new black stand-ups.

Rank these stand-ups in order from best to least funny, 1 being best and 10 least funny.

Mark Curry
Jamie Foxx
Whoppi Goldberg
Arsenio Hall
Robin Harris
Steve Harvey
Paul Mooney
Robert Townsend
Chris Tucker
Keenen Ivory Wayans

Example:
1)Arsenio Hall
2)Mark Curry

Thank you so much.

LKizzle,

Hey, you forgot my name kid! Comedy is subjective. So keep that in mind. There used to be this old school comedian named Rodney Winfield (not Dangerfield although he's in a class by himself) that I thought was hilarious. But he never really broke into television -- strictly road comic but funny. Road comics are generally funnier than the pretty boys you see on television...

I got a couple of responses on my first thread about Black Comic, now here is my list for part 2.

Michael Colyar
Tommy Davidson
*Sammy Davis Jr.
Moms Mabley
Rudy Ray Moore
Tracy Morgan
*Garrett Morris
LaWanda Page
Jimmy Walker
John Witherspoon
Slappy White

* I don't know if Sammy and G. Morris were stand-ups?

LKizzle,

Neither of these lists seems to include Redd...

[LKizzle]

JTF,

Redd was number 24, I am doing the Black Comics that were not listed on Comedy Central's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups
