I'm a big fan of Gabriel Iglesias, as well as the late John Pinette.

I second your mention of Bo Burnham.

Dollypop, you made me go back and watch some of Gracie Allen's work. Her timing was perfection! She could toss off an off the wall comment so matter of factly and make it seem so perfectly normal! Pure brilliance!

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Classic - George Carlin

Current - Sarah Silverman. She's really the only current stand-up I like. Except, I once saw her live, five years after Jesus Is Magic came out, and she was still using the same material from the movie, so I've kind of soured on her since then. So I don't like any comics.

Natasha Leggarrio is very funny too. She is usually the best on the Roasts. She stars in Another Period which is on tonight on Comedy Central 10 oclock
