Taylor Tomlinson
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

- 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 :)

Seeing him again on Saturday. Can’t wait!
His childhood primed him for comedy.
Bill Burr, Eddie Izzard, Diane Morgan, James Acaster, Jimmy O Yang
German: Carolin Kebekus, Kurt Krömer, Teddy Teclebrhan, Loriot (Rest in peace)
Billy Connolly
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
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
Frankie Boyle
Ross Nobel has a surrealist ability beyond all others, delivered in a geordie accent makes it perfect.
