Norm MacDonald
The moth joke, dirty johnny, country of germany, 9/11 compilation, ManGrate, guest appearance with courtney thorne-smith on conan.
-
RIP.
I didn't even know he was sick.
-
He kept it a secret up until his final days
-
-
-
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!
-
This fockin guy
-
-
Taylor Tomlinson
-
She is consistently very good, and has excellent stage presence.
-
Taylor's recent "Look at you" show was hilarious. The story behind that title is amazing too!
Sorry progressive and always know when I watch her stuff that I'm in for a good time.
-
-
James Acaster
-
He does tickle me good
-
-
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.
-
Loved Ferguson. His books are worth a read, too.
-
-
-
George Carlin
-
George, Pryor and Hedberg still take up a lot of room in my playlists.
-
-
- George Carlin
- Billy Connolly
- Carl Barron
-
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."
-
-
- James Acaster
- Mitch Hedberg
- Stephen Wright
-
Love Mitch and Stephen - had never heard of James Acaster but took a chance based on your list and loved him :D thanks for the rec!
-
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
-
Mike Birbiglia
-
Bill Hicks
-
Nate Bargatze
-
Seeing him again on Saturday. Can't wait!
-
His childhood primed him for comedy.
-
-
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.
-
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt Krömer, 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'.
-
-
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
-
Tig Notaro
Louis CK
Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Tim Minchin (musician but still a comedian )
-
Oh, man - Tim Minchin's "Inflatable You" is amazing

-
His "Thank You God" routine is a weekly play at my house. Someone is always going back and watching it again.
-
-
-
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".
-
Joe Wilkinson doesn't even have to open his mouth and I start laughing
-
I’m not saying you’re wrong - humour is subjective. But man, I don’t think Joe Wilkinson has made me even smile. He’s a total ruiner for me in 8 out of 10 cats.
-
While I do find him funny, I do think that he seems to lean into one thing extremely heavily and the reaction of him is based on if you find the bit funny or not.
-
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I honestly don't get whatever he brings to the show. People really love him, so I've always thought it was just me.
The bit where he names people's penises is apparently the funniest thing ever to air on the show, and I just don't connect to it at all.
-
-
I never found Joe Wilkinson particularly entertaining - that was until his appearance on Taskmaster which was simply sublime.
-
-
Rishi Sunak and Keir Starma, to name but two.
-
All feels like gallows humour.
-
-
Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. 🙄
-
Mr. Warmth himself
-
-
Joe Pera
Todd Barry

Maria Bamford.
-
hysterical and a great human despite difficult circumstances
-
Absolutely. I saw her perform once and would see her again in a heartbeat.
-
-
-
Brian Regan.
-
Kyle Kinane
-
I saw him on Netflix and really enjoyed his set so I saw his live show and he delivered. Very funny guy. I am thinking of giving his podcast a chance although I have not heard of his cohost before. Do you recommend?
-
He's on a few podcasts at this point. The boogie monster, where he cohosts with Dave Stone. I like that one. He also has one with Shane Torres called No accounting for taste. That one I have not seen but I've seen shorts from and it seems funny.
-
-
-
Definitely Hannibal buress is on my list
-
Billy Connolly
-
Tom Segura, although his latest special is my least favourite one.
-
I agree, though the finale bit of that special had me crying with laughter
-
-
I liked Tom Segura before he started to make fun of poor and homeless people.
-
I feel the same about Dave Chappelle
-
-
Mike Birbiglia
-
Jim Jefferies' childhood friend brothel story will always crack me up.
-
Also Australian and a master is Luke Heggie. Very dry, and worth a listen.
-
-
Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.
The Ship Shape, amiright?
-
"Me Talk Pretty One Day" had me audibly cackling. He's the best!
-
-
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.
-
Sarah Millican
-
And her husband Gary Delaney. If you like puns, he's the current king.
-
-
James Veitch
-
His story about the rubber ducks is awesome
-
Was he the one that had some sort of scandal recently?
-
-
Dmitri Martin has an uncanny ability to make me laugh out loud like basically no one else can.
-
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
-
Jeff Arcuri - his funniest stuff is his crowd work so he constantly has new stuff to watch.
-
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.
-
Kyle Kinane
-
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.
-
Rodney Dangerfield.
Still the king of one liners.
-
Bruan Reagan and Norm McDonald are two of my favorites.
-
That guy that's always drinking whiskey
-
"I'm Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink"?
-
did you mean Ron White?
that guy is hysterical
-
Yup that's the guy! Yeah he is funny af
