Patrice O'Neal
Tony Woods
Eddie Griffin
Three underrated greats off the top of my head. A true comedian is a philosopher who can make heavy topics light and entertaining but resonate in your brain after the performance and its also why, historically, they were the only ones who could speak truth to power and keep their heads.
Read between the lines and you'll see the invisible ink that penned the script which had Will smacking Chris a few days after a German rapper did the same to another comedian. Everyone is a actor, some get paid for it and pay in ways you'd never suspect from the outside looking in... Thats why Patrice didn't play the game but boy did he leave loads of hints and clues about what actually goes on beneath the curtain.
