Sarah Silverman
Amy Schumer
Jim Gaffigan
Louis C. K.

and a ton of honorable mentions like Dave Attell (his stand-up is ok and I usually laugh but I'm a fan because he is a nice guy in person. My wife met him at an airport gift shop and he was just really nice and funny and generous and humble to her and, by extension, that's cool with me.)

Paula Poundstone, Nikki Glaser, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (together or separate), Patton Oswalt is terrific, Eddie Izzard, I never think he's gonna but Brian Regan always makes me laugh, Dave Chappelle is great too.

And Ron White. I don't care about any of the other Blue Collar comedy dopes he used to tour with but Ron White is a funny emmereffer.

Norm MacDonald is kind of anti-comedy comedy. His delivery kills me. I'm still not sure if he's right-wing douche-bag or just trolling them but until such a time as I find out he voted for trump he's making me laugh.

I haven't seen Steven Wright do anything in a long time but he always used to make me laugh.
