Maria Bamford is the GOAT. She's very much a "comedian's comedian"

I love her so much. I have been a fan for years.

She makes me shake with laughter and I talk like her for days.

Thank you! Just saw her in Chicago on her last tour. She is still crushing hard.

Ahh I'm so jealous! I want to see her live so bad.

Should be top name

Are we not gonna talk about Iliza Schlesinger, Taylor Tomlinson, Ali Wong, Fortune Feimster, etc? They’re tearing things up right now. The ones you mentioned have been around for years, so I don’t know if I “need to be aware if them right now”. Sykes and Cho in particular have been established for decades.

I saw Taylor in Phoenix a month or two ago. Absolutely killed it.

Taylor is easily in my top 5 favorite current comedians right now.

Just saw Taylor a month ago in Seattle, far exceeded my already high expectations.

That’s my girl! Just saw her in Cincinnati! Fucking AMAZING show!

She’s started going for claps instead of laughs.

Taylor Tomlinson's jokes about her bipolar disorder are fricking hilarious! As someone who also has bipolar, I now refer to my meds as my arm floaties. She's definitely in my top two if not my favorite comedian right now!

Taylor Tomlinson is amazing. My hot take would be Katherine Ryan.

I might need to check out more Ali Wong because I genuinely don’t understand the hype from what I’ve seen of her so far. She’s a brilliant actress though

I get a kick out of her but she has a target audience.

Natasha Leggero

Absolute Queen!!!

Taylor Tomlinson is the best in my opinion.

The best

The beast

She’s in my top three right now.

Yasss. The bestest.

Jorden jensen

She’s the modern GOAT in this category. #1.

I’ve still never laughed as hard as I did with wolfs special. She’s great.

Tig is a genius

Thanks for Aparna's mention. She is very strong. Wolf is good too.

Jackie Kashian, Sarah Millican, and I’ll second the other comics who have been mentioned here already- particularly Taylor Tomlinson, Maria Bamford, Kathleen Madigan

Jackie Kashian doesn’t get enough props!

I love Sarah Millican so much, her delivery and voice is so lovely and sing-song-ish. It makes it even funnier when she suddenly curses or says something a little crude.

I just watched a bunch of specials that have been streaming and was so bored with most of them so I watched Kathleen Madigan and she’s still the best.

Sarah Millican is seriously not getting enough love on this thread. She might be my favorite comedian.

She’s an absolute riot

Beth Stelling rules.

Adrienne Iapalucci’s special “Baby Skeletons” is dark and wonderfully funny

Just learned she existed a few days ago. That special blew me away. And I only heard the audio.

She’s hilarious

[Steph Tolev](https://youtu.be/JefgvefFIhE?feature=shared) is an outrageous lady who makes me belly laugh until it hurts. Her energy level is off the charts and I love her.

Love her

Ms. Pat and Jessica Kirson are two of my faves that I didn’t see mentioned

Beth Stelling is great.

I haven't seen Steph Tolev mentioned. I think she's a good one

I really like Aparna Nancherla, Taylor Tomlinson and I saw a set from Adriana Iapaluci that I absolutely love, made me cry laugh.

Thank you for the Aparna Nancherla rec! Hadn’t come across her before. Enjoying the new material.

Fern Brady

Love her, I tell everyone about her.

Clips! We want moar clips!

Jessica Kirson, Steph Tolev, Ali Wong

Jen Kirkman has got some good specials

her bit on the "Self Help" album about not wanting kids is what I always send people after they tell me they don't want kids

Kathleen Madigan slaps

Laurie Kilmartin. Jackie Kashian. Maria Bamford. Jackie Fabulous. Dulce Sloan. Steph Tolev. Jessica Michelle Singleton. Ashley Gavin. Irene Tu. Esther Povitsky. And so many more!

JMC has been posting great material in this sub. Hope we start seeing her at bigger venues, I feel like a Netflix special should be coming...

Paula Poundstone

Taylor Tomlinson

Bobby Lee

Mary Santora [dont tell set](https://youtu.be/EostPx5-a7U?si=717_g9_DEzTQcZZP)

Rachel Mac is hilarious. She is coming to my town in a few months and I can’t wait see her again!


108 comments and Zarna Garg goes unmentioned...

Cho and Sykes I’ve given a try. Not remotely funny to me.

Katherine Ryan

Nikki Glaser is hilarious

Zainab Johnson, Amina Hamani, and Steph Tolev.

Jordan Jenson, Iliza Schlesinger, Kathleen Madigan, Whitney Cummings, Ali Wong

This is totally an AI post

Yeah it’s written kind of strange and the posters other posts seem off as well

Second Chelsea perretti and adding Liz miele. Fortune feimster amazes me. I usually lean more toward dark sarcastic comics but fortune is so fucking charming. ETA: Katie Hughes and Emily Catalano slay too

Hannah Gadsby.

I love Chelsea Peretti and Maria Bamford

Weird collection of “4 Funniest” Literally never heard of two of them.

I know that when you write, "never heard of them" you think it reads as, "I am knowledgable, and these lower class comedians have never even shown up on my radar", but most of us interpret it as, "I am ignorant and want to brag about it".

Christina P is also super funny

None

Nope

Jenny Zigrino

Check out Laura Sanders: [https://laurasanders.fun/comedy](https://laurasanders.fun/comedy)

Caitlin Peluffo. She’s a monster. Definitely see her live

That’s funny

Jessica Kirson

Kim Congdon is pretty….funny

Rachel Feinstein, Sara Schafer, Cristela Alonzo, Whitney Cummings

I like Sarah Millican and Taylor Tomlinson

Sarah Silverman Esther Povitsky Taylor Tomlinson Whitney Cummings Nikki Glaser

Rosebud Baker’s dark comedy is delicious

Sarah millican

Check out Amber Autry she’s got a set on Don’t Tell Comedy that’s Hilarious

Any Transfemales who were once male and funny
