She is consistently very good, and has excellent stage presence.
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 Burr
This fockin guy
- 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!
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'.
I've never watched taskmaster you know? People keep saying I should but there's just so much of it and only so much time in the day.
Try Fern's season! You don't have to watch any of the seasons in order, they all exist in a vacuum. And it's all on YouTube! I say give S14 E1 a shot and see how you like it :)

Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt KrΓΆmer, 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
Billy Connolly
Bill Hicks
Rishi Sunak and Keir Starma, to name but two.
All feels like gallows humour.
James Veitch
His story about the rubber ducks is awesome
My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.
Frankie Boyle
Joe Lycett, Stewart Lee, Philomena Cunk
Cunk is a fictional character. Diane Morgan is the comedienne that plays her.

Ramesh Ramanathan
And his evil twin, Romesh Ranganathan
He was one of my partner's teachers at school, she still finds it very weird when she sees him on TV.

Not stand up. David Sedaris, his life essays, not the short stories.
The Ship Shape, amiright?
That guy that's always drinking whiskey
"I'm Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink"?

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

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 StrΓ€ter.
Joe Pera
Todd Barry
Kyle Kinane
Stavros Halkias
Jimmy O. Yang.
Jo Koy.
There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.
Don Rickles. Some of his stuff is very dated, but he skewers everyone... with love. π
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.
Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
Kaamelott. You will need to kearn french first, but its totally worth it.
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.
