Looking for some good comedians to crash time with
Mike Birbiglia, Kumail Nanjiani, and Patton Oswalt are three recentish faves of mine
Two of my favorites are Kyle Kinaine and Dave Stone
Roy Wood Jr. is hilarious and so is Hannibal Buress, pretty much anything from them is great.
Stavros Halkias has good specials, just don’t go near the crowd work (but that’s pretty much every comic).
Aamer Rahman is great and he just came out from hiatus, check his older stuff first and see if you like it.
Michael Che has good stand up too, even if you know him from SNL and don’t like his stuff there.
Mitch Hedburg is a legend. No one has ever had a comedic style like he had. He was taken from us way too young.
Sheng Wang is hilarious, I think his humor would align well with a lot of people here. He has a special on Netflix worth checking out
The randomness of python packaging attempts. Recommend reading the source code of Chimera Linux. How to build a distro and write everything as a script.
And any recent dramas bad reviews on imdb. Forget about watching the videos, the reviews are priceless
I’m amazed no one has mentioned Susie/Eddie Izzard yet. Their sets are rather old at this point so I shouldn’t be too surprised, but they are all great and I highly recommend them, especially if you are into history at all.
Can I get some love for Stewart Lee?
He’s a genius and so am I because I like him.

James Acaster has a good 4 part comedy special. Jeff Arcuri is pretty active on YouTube and instagram
Ya I’ve seen Jeff Arcuri. He’s great but I’ve only seen his shorts. Does he have long form stuff online?
Bill Hick’s Rant in E Minor
George Carlin
Mitch Hedberg
Bill Burr
Wanda Sykes
Personally, as much as I loved Bill Hicks at the time, and he died far too young, I don’t think his material has aged well. The level of corruption he was railing against just seems cute these days.

Josh Johnson has been coming up
George Carlin. Start with Class Clown, it’s more approachable than his later stuff but once you get him you can pick up anything.
Jimmy Carr
Fern Brady
Aisling Bea
Fiona Cauley
Lewis Black
Taylor Tomlinson
Jimmy Carr
Fern Brady
Starting off on the gentle stuff there.
Kevin Bridges’ older stuff is world class too. Haven’t seen him recently
