Kyle Kinane is my favorite.

He tweeted at Gethard a few days ago and hopefully will be on TCGS in November.

I also really like Ron Funches.

David O'Doherty has a nice brand of comedy, he's pretty big over here in the UK:

That was his first US TV aperance.

And Jon Dore is pretty funny:

And for one liners I like Stewart Francis:

I kind of like Tacky comedians.

HEPHAESTUS IS LONG DEAD, BUT THOSE THAT KNEW HIM FOUND HIM TO BE HYSTERICAL. HE INVENTED THE WHOLE ANVIL-DROPPING-ON-YOUR-HEAD GAG.

And Jon Dore is pretty funny:

How do you know of him? When I lived in Canada, I loved his show on the Canadian Comedy Network as well as his stand up, but it never seemed like he got nearly enough exposure, even after he moved down to the States. But regardless...friggen amazing.

Another guy I've been really big on more recently is Tim Minchin. Hilarious and incredibly talented musician.

Also, Todd Barry is really good. I was saying this to my friend the other day, and he responded with "You know he's sitting directly behind you right?" Weird stuff.

Otherwise, I think all my favs have been named in here.

I think it was from a little segment he did on Conan about the NBA lockout. After that I watched a bunch of the jon dore television show episodes, which are hilarious. Like literally hilarous. His stand-up isn't as good as his show but i still like the way he thinks. You're right, he deserves a lot more exposure than he's gotten. He needs to bring back the tv show for sure.

You're right about Tim Minchin too, very talented. My sister's a huge fan of his and must have seen him about 5 times; apparently his live shows are amazing.

Another Aussie to check out would be Adam Hills. He's a very, very funny guy.

I'd say Dara O'briain
Sarah Millican
John Bishop
Simon Amstell
Oh and Steven Merchant. He's bloody lovely and I thought Hello Ladies was brilliant.
