Eddie Izzard is by far the best stand up comedian. Bill Hicks, Chris Rock and others are good, but not even close to Eddie Izzard IMO.
Maybe not for everyone but I think his comedy is by far the most intelligent stand up I've seen. Requires a little knowledge of history, religion and people that everyone might not have heard of though. I've read somewhere when googling him that he was voted best stand up comedian ever by other stand up comedians.
I've seen 7 or so of his shows (all about 1h30 minutes) and the early ones are probably the best.
Glorious
Dress to Kill
Unrepeatable,
are my 3 favorites (his 2 newest Circle and Sexie are slightly worse)

DTK is one of the few comedy specials (along with a few Cosby's - the "Dentist" bit always kills me...) that I can watch over and over and over and still laugh.
