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.

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

Rodney Dangerfield.

Still the king of one liners.

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.

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.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Bruan Reagan and Norm McDonald are two of my favorites.

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

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

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

Jimmy O. Yang.

Jo Koy.

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

My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.

Joke answer: Peter Molyneux

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

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

[–] Kosh@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Taylor Tomlinson, Matteo Lane

Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias

Chris Estrada. His TV show This Fool is one of the best things to watch, it's SO good.

Also Maria Bamford is a riot.
