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 that’s true, and people are like “yeah that checks out”
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.
I have a chance to see Randy Feltface live in December but may have to go by myself since my one standup buddy said he "can't do puppets" lol. I mean I get the puppet hate but this isn't like Jeff Dunham, Randy is actually legitimately funny to the point that you kinda forget you're looking at a puppet.
also agreed on Mitch, RIP.
Craig Ferguson is probably my number one though. His specials aren't even that great but the three times I've seen him live have been hysterical, and his Late Late Show was legendary imo, such a quick witted mind for improv.
George Carlin
George, Pryor and Hedberg still take up a lot of room in my playlists.
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.
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."
Bill Hicks
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
Mike Birbiglia
Jim Gaffigan
The first time I saw Beyond the Pale I thought I was gonna die laughing.
Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual "musical" comedy.
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'.
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt Krömer, Teddy Teclebrhan, Loriot (Rest in peace)
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".
Tig Notaro
Louis CK
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Tim Minchin (musician but still a comedian )
Joe Wilkinson doesn't even have to open his mouth and I start laughing
Joe Pera
Todd Barry
Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. 🙄
Brian Regan.
Mike Birbiglia
Definitely Hannibal buress is on my list
I liked Tom Segura before he started to make fun of poor and homeless people.
Billy Connolly
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.
