World's 5 Funniest Guys

Russell Peters

His unbeatable stand-up comedy act has made this Indo-Canadian actor and comedian one of the most quotable funny guys out there. His bang-on impressions and merciless mocking of racial stereotypes have propelled him to dizzying heights and drawn scores of fans to sold-out shows all over the world.

When it comes to his comedy career, no one's going to get a hurt real bad!

Tina Fey

Elizabeth Stamatina, better known as Tina Fey aka Liz Lemon is an American actress, comedian, writer and producer. You'll also notice that she's not technically a guy, but we're appointing her an honorary one because this list would just be incomplete without her.

After creating and starring in the smash hit '30 Rock' with Alec Baldwin and writing for and hosting 'Saturday Night Live', Fey has earned her place among the comic greats of this century. In 2010, Fey also became the youngest recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Well-deserved to say the least


Steve Carell

Carell shot to household attention with his epic portrayal of inept boss Michael Scott on 'The Office'. However, Carell’s comic genius would have made him famous with or without that particular TV show.

Since first gaining popularity on the satirical 'Daily Show With Jon Stewart', Carell has managed to keep the world laughing at his antics. He was recently nominated ‘America’s Funniest Man’ by Life Magazine. Now that he's officially left 'The Office', you can expect to see a lot more of him in films, including in his co-production 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' due for release later this month


Jerry Seinfeld

He played a fictional version of himself--a stand up comedian--on the famous, self-titled comedy series about…nothing. Yes, we’re talking about 'Seinfeld'. In 2002, TV Guide named it ‘The Best TV show of all time,’ and most TV critics tend to agree.
Seinfeld's also a brilliant stand-up comedian, and is extremely respected within the industry for his decision to wind up the show in 1998 when it was at the peak of its popularity. He's since starred in the kid's hit Bee Movie and appeared on the TV show The Marriage Ref.


Ricky Gervais

If you’ve ever seen the original ‘The Office’, you'll know why this man's on this list. This English comedian, actor, director, producer and writer is both the brains and the brawn behind the genre-defying comedy.

Gervais has also performed in 4 sell-out stand-up comedy tours and has created and starred in the award-winning series, 'Extras'. He's gained a lot of favour in Hollywood, and you're going to see a lot more of him in the years to come
