Patton Oswalt is my bridgetroll soul mate and his comedy is wonderful.

Tig Notaro, who is specifically endorsed by Louis CK with a link to her on his personal site. She is the future of comedy, and in such a short amount of time has literally moved mountains in the world of comedy. Her story is amazing, and if you like her, listen to Aisha Tyler interview her on AT's Girl on Guy podcast. Additionally, of course, Louis CK.

Maria Bamford is wonderful.

Mike Birbiglia. Michael Ian Black. Brooks Whelan.

Anjelah Johnson is a wonderful hispanic comedian.

I grew to really like Jim Jefferies, but some of the stuff he says about women is just nails on the chalkboard for me. I know it's all comedy etc etc but comedy is based on truths so I'm an angry internet feminist about that particular portion of his comedy. He is generally hilarious, though.
