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”
Norm MacDonald
The moth joke, dirty johnny, country of germany, 9/11 compilation, ManGrate, guest appearance with courtney thorne-smith on conan.

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
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.

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."
- George Carlin
- Billy Connolly
- Carl Barron
Patton Oswalt. I love that nerdy little hobbit man when he really gets on a rant.
Mike Birbiglia
Bill Hicks
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)
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
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
Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.
The Ship Shape, amiright?

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

Jeff Arcuri - his funniest stuff is his crowd work so he constantly has new stuff to watch.
