Favourite Comedians

I can't find a topic dedicated to this though I know it's been touched on a few times. Who is everyone's favourites? I have the Melbourne comedy fest coming up, hopefully get some inspiration to see someone new.
I'm working through Bill Burr's specials at the moment. Outstanding stuff.

I've always loved Michael McIntyre, has a great skill of making pretty mundane things really funny. Also doesn't rely on political stuff or mocking people which is nice.
Ricky Gervais is probably my favourite at the moment - his Humanity show was superb.
Rogan can be really funny too, loved Triggered though his newest one Strange Times wasn't as good.
Good idea for a thread, keen to get more ideas on who to watch, especially those not as mainstream.

Christine Pazitsky has a great Netflix special .
Bert Kreischers one is decent .
iliza shlesingers ones are average but she’s hot so I can tolerate that for a while.
Of course all these people pale in comparison to whoever is on Seven Days

A list of decent kiwi comedians would be very very short . Leigh Hart , Billy T , Jason Hoyte , who else?
Anyone off seven sharp has a lot of ground to make up to be considered an actual comedian . -

Why do people keep mentioning Leigh Hart in a thread about comedians?
Oh , do you think of him more as a master brewer these days because of the awesome beer he makes?
He’s a comedy legend
Yeah piss off Crucial you old misery guts. Leigh Hart has consistently provided comedy gold since the early 2000s.

I agree Leigh Hart is great, Moon TV rates as the funniest NZ shows of all time IMO.

He’s the male equivalent of that fat saffa dyke. Thinks he’s much funnier than he is.
His only saving grace is that he hasn’t sullied himself on Seven DaysIf this fat saffa dyke is vegan ... I think I’ve found my soul mate

Also hovers around the top 3 in my most punchable faces list .

Yeah, seen McIntyre and Gervais live, both fantastic. Jarred Christmas and Tim Vine I saw at a 4 kiwis night out in Chiswick, Vine is an absolute one liner king.
Daniel Simonsen is one I'd like to see more of:
Going to see Rhod Gilbert in April, looking forward to that - one of my fave clips:

@JC said in Favourite Comedians:
Sean Lock is top for me. Also Katherine Ryan, although to be fair I’m not fussed if there’s no sound.
Would. Mrs went t see her last year, said she crapped on in a girl power style too much and wasn't all that funny in the long run. Mrs has a terrible sense of humour though.
