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.
This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.
Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.
Bill Burr is great too.
Joe Pera
Todd Barry
Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
The end of the supermarket episode of Joe Pera Talks With You made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed in my life.
Jimmy O. Yang.
Jo Koy.
There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.
Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias
My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.
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.
Way too many these days and not in a bad way.
Frankie Boyle
Stavros Halkias
HajΓ³s AndrΓ‘s
I got to see Todd Barry on a whim one night and I was crying laughing in my seat, his crowd work is fantastic and he was absolutely skewering the local yuppies of my town.
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.
