The 11 Greatest Stand Up Specials of All Time


If you look up a single best of list, that list could be heavily influenced by the author's bias. We don't think that's entirely fair, so what we like to do for our "Best of" lists is to scour the internet for multiple other rankings and then combine them all into one mega list. This way, not only do we get highly ranked lists, but it can also show the consistency of the rankings. If something ranked highly #1 on only 1 list, and doesn't appear in any others,  how great could it be? So what we did was find the "Best of" lists from publications, websites, fan polls and more, and then combine them all into one cumulative ranking. And here they are, the the 11 greatest Stand Up Specials of all time:

1. Chris Rock - Bring the Pain
2. George Carlin - On Location: George Carlin At USC
3. Eddie Murphy - Delirious
4. Louis CK - Shameless
5. Richard Pryor - Live in Concert
6. Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them Softly
7. Robin Williams - An Evening With Robin Williams
8. Bill Hicks - Relentless
9. Steven Wright - A Steven Wright Special
10. Janeane Garofalo - HBO Comedy Half-Hour
11. Steve Martin - A Wild And Crazy Guy
