George Carlin twice.
And whoever opens for him. I was wanting to see Jeff Dunham on the 27th but that's not looking likely.

I've seen Carlin and Stella. Those are the biggest names I can think of. I keep meaning to see Lewis Black since he performs in Albany almost every year, but I have yet to get around to it.
I would have killed to have seen Bill Hicks live.

Bill Cosby Pen and Teller
Both were freaking amazing. I've seen others, but including them in the same post as Cosby and Pen/Teller would be a sin.

Years ago, I used to go in to NYC to the comedy clubs in Greenwich village. I saw a bunch of comedians, but I cannot remember a single one of their names.
Since I moved to California I've seen John Pinette at the Sahara in Las Vegas and Jay Leno at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach.

Mitch Hedberg Zach Galifinakis Stephen Lynch
I actually saw Mitch Hedberg twice. The first time was amazing. The second time was just a few months before he died, and it was obvious that something was a little off with him.
