Scrolled too far without seeing Weird Al listed. He may not do stand-up but he's absolutely a comedian, and he's been making me laugh consistently for 30 years now.
- George Carlin
- Billy Connolly
- Carl Barron
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
Bill Hicks
Mike Birbiglia
Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual "musical" comedy.
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt Krömer, Teddy Teclebrhan, Loriot (Rest in peace)
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
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".
Definitely Hannibal buress is on my list
Mike Birbiglia
Billy Connolly
Jeff Arcuri - his funniest stuff is his crowd work so he constantly has new stuff to watch.
Joe Pera
Todd Barry
10 that I have enjoyed a lot:
- Kyle Kinane
- Hannibal Buress
- Patton Oswalt
- Mike Birbiglia
- Tig Notaro
- Matt Braunger
- Marc Maron
- Bo Burnham
- Jackie Kashian
- Tim Robinson
- Norm Macdonald
Milton Jones. His style is basically one-liners, but he's amazing at them. If you've ever watched his appearances on Mock the Week you'll know.
Rodney Dangerfield.
Still the king of one liners.
Kyle Kinane
Bruan Reagan and Norm McDonald are two of my favorites.
I'm going with the niche german option: Jan Philip Zymny. He is a former Poetry Slammer and writes hilarious dadaistic texts. An he can also do that spontaneous together with the audience.
And of course the german comedian Thorsten Sträter.
My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.
Lee Mack
The end of the supermarket episode of Joe Pera Talks With You made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed in my life.
Frankie Boyle
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.
Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias
Lewis Black
Stavros Halkias
Jimmy O. Yang.
Jo Koy.
There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.
I got to see Todd Barry on a whim one night and I was crying laughing in my seat, his crowd work is fantastic and he was absolutely skewering the local yuppies of my town.
Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
Chris Estrada. His TV show This Fool is one of the best things to watch, it's SO good.
Also Maria Bamford is a riot.
Benny Hill.
Way too many these days and not in a bad way.
Kaamelott. You will need to kearn french first, but its totally worth it.
Bobby Lee
Kathleen Madigan Greg Warren Louis CK
Donald Trump
Kathleen Madigan
Hajós András
zoltan kaszas.
very strong on the fly and always has new material, usually relevant to wherever he's performing
Alexander babu
Chappelle
Adam Ray, Tony Hinchcliffe, Mark Normand, Kam Patterson, Ari Shaffir
Edit: almost forgot Shane Gillis
Mae Martin.
I haven't even heard of most of these people, I've got some stand up to watch! Thanks to all who contribute.
Shane gilis and Matt mcusker mostly when they're not doing stand up. The conversations are just so perfectly stupid that it cracks me up every time.
Recently it's been Garron Noone
I've never heard of any of these names in the comments here. I'm afraid to ask and it's making me very uncomfortable. I want to block OP for asking a question whose answers hurt me.
