Louis CK, the only man in the world funny enough to un-cancel himself
Lol true. Though it helps when half of your routine is to joke about how shitty of a person you think you are, and then it turns out thatβs true, and people are like βyeah that checks outβ
Bill Burr
Bill burr all the way!
I don't even have to watch his full specials. I just watch him in Conans show , and it lights me up!

I'll give you two, one living, one passed.
Randy Feltface is great with crowd work.
Mitch Hedberg was a genius with delivery, and even though I've seen most of his recorded work multiple times, I still laugh out loud.

George Carlin
George, Pryor and Hedberg still take up a lot of room in my playlists.
- George Carlin
- Billy Connolly
- Carl Barron
James Acaster is the correct answer in here - he is hilariously funny and very progressive
"Can you tell us about your flapjack?"
"Started making it. Had a breakdown.
...Bon appetit."
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
Mike Birbiglia
Bill Hicks
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt KrΓΆmer, Teddy Teclebrhan, Loriot (Rest in peace)
Fern Brady I find always makes me laugh, it's like she's enjoying herself and just bringing everyone else along for the ride. Even in interviews I just end up really enjoying myself.
Loved her on Taskmaster. "Have I met these potatoes before?!"
Between herself, John Kearns, and Munya, that season was a goldmine for 'comedians I had never heard of before and ended up loving'.

Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual "musical" comedy.
Jim Gaffigan
The first time I saw Beyond the Pale I thought I was gonna die laughing.
Rowan Atkinson. I'm unable to watch Mr Bean or Blackadder with a straight face. Everything he does is comedy gold.
Also the one and only Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. Watched his stand up program and spilled my drink multiple times
Joe Wilkinson doesn't even have to open his mouth and I start laughing

Conan O'Brien. He's just effortlessly funny, especially when he's just riffing with Sona and Matt on "Conan O'Brien needs a friend".
Tig Notaro
Louis CK
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Tim Minchin (musician but still a comedian )

Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. π

Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.
The Ship Shape, amiright?

Dmitri Martin has an uncanny ability to make me laugh out loud like basically no one else can.
This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.
Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.
Bill Burr is great too.
