Jimmy Carr, on occasion.

Sort of, prefer comedy shows or movies but my fave would be Frankie Boyle.
He’s brutal but hilariously funny…trust me.

I don’t watch much but my favourite is also Frankie Boyle. Kevin Bridges is good too.

I like Bill Engvall. His comedy is clean. I don’t care for profanity laced comedy. But he is really funny and talks about the human condition, that we can all relate to. I like Jeff Foxworthy too, for the same reason.

I also like Ellen Degeneres.

John Oliver is another favorite. He is the milk spitting out of your nose variety of funny, and he is spot on with his political commentary. I like Trevor Noah for the same reason. And John Stewart. Funny and poignant.

I like Gabriel Iglesias “Fluffy” I’m tall and large and have similarities finding goods and services that are Fluffy friendly.

Yes, depending on who it is, but I don’t have a favorite.

Maria Bamford
For two reasons. I love her funny voices and imitations of people in her life, and more than that, she makes hilarious stories about her personal life, including her mental illness.

Michelle Wolf
I didn’t know of her before the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner and I fell in love.

Kathleen Madigan
Her Midwest stories and Midwest accent remind me of me.

Dave Chappelle
Because he covers serious topical subjects with the emphasis on funny and not the polemic. His Saturday Night Live monologue after the 2016 election was beautiful.
