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!

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.

Stewart Lee is better than all other standup combined.

Ross Nobel has a surrealist ability beyond all others, delivered in a geordie accent makes it perfect.

Dmitri Martin has an uncanny ability to make me laugh out loud like basically no one else can.

Jimmy O. Yang.

Jo Koy.

There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.

Joke answer: Peter Molyneux

Serious answer: The sadly now retired Eckart von Hirschhausen, who does comedy mostly about health and medical topics.

The end of the supermarket episode of Joe Pera Talks With You made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed in my life.

[โ€“] Kosh@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Taylor Tomlinson, Matteo Lane

Frankie Boyle

Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias

Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.

[โ€“] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 2 years ago

Benny Hill.

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.

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.
