The Funniest Comedian Right Now? (1 Viewer)

[The Big Guy]

I love the style and delivery of Sebastian Maniscalco. He is not a knockout of a comedian, but the way he tells a story makes it a good show.

 

[That one guy]

I saw him live a couple of years back. I was in tears from laughing so hard.  Wife and I have tix to Nate Bergatze in a few months. 

Jelly...dude is hilarious!

I don't know about funniest but I have really come to appreciate John Mullaney -- his style/delivery and substance.

I'm a big fan

I see quite a few people mentioning Bert Kreisher and I don't get it. He takes off his shirt and starts telling long rambling stories that suggest he has severe ADHD and can't stay focused long enough to finish a story. I started one of his specials on Netflix and could not finish it.

Same feeling on Bert. Not impressed.  

For me, the best comedians are easily Dave Chapelle and Bill Burr.  Then a host of others on the next tier.

Bill Burr's latest Netflix special wasn't so good. I watched the first ten minutes and the material was well below his standard.

I haven't watched the entire thing but I thought the beginning was hilarious.  The bit about going from 0 to 100..  "I idle at 75" lol.

Chapelle still the top dog to me.

I watched most of it so far. It’s funny. He’s a funny dude.

Wife and I have seen these 3 in person in past year. We listen on satellite to comedy an inordinate amount of time. Too many favorites.

Jeselnik 

Gaffigan

D.Martin - his graphs and illustrations are the best. Graph of "Fun" on Y-axis and 'Type of Party' on X-axis kills me. Fun Bar gets higher as you go right.. Something like Birthday,  Toga  Bachelor....and then the big dropoff to 'Search'.

Agree on Mulaney . He's great but his stand-up special on Netflix recently wasn't as good as normal stuff I hear on radio from other bits.

Same with Jim Jefferies

Jeselnik 

One of my favorites, but he's someone that's not middle of the road comedy.  Nobody "kinda likes" or "kinda dislikes" his act.  Either you're on-board or you can't stand him.  

While it's great to watch someone like Mulaney (and he's great), sometimes I want a little edge to my comedy that 'safe comics' (Mulaney/Birbiglia/Gaffigan/etc.) can't provide

Skanks for the Memories is one of the funniest albums of all time

Just heard about this guy. About to get on a plane and have one of his specials loaded up.

Jeselnik has this unique ability to twist in directions that you just never see coming, even knowing he is going to do it.
