My personal 5 favorite (and one based on a single performance...)...

Richard Pryor...standard bearer
Eddie Murphy.."Delirious" is a classic vid
Sam Kinison...brilliantly poking at religion and himself
Bill Hicks....stunning social commentary
in a shocking move...
Damon Wayans....why? He did an HBO "One Night Stand" years ago that KILLED...I still have it on VHS...
