Margaret Cho seems like someone who only about 15 people like, but they're all somehow famous and trying to help out their friend.

I like Nealon, though I don't think I've seen his stand-up.

He has an album on Amazon that is funny. Not hysterical, but it did make me laugh multiple times.
Also, he was one of the best Weekend Update anchors.
I really like him but have never seen his standup...he plays at a club in our neighborhood all the time but we've never gone...it should be fun

I'm seeing Jimmy Pardo next weekend and Sinbad in a few months. I expect both to be hilarious.
