Rachel Feinstein
Whenever I'm asked in interviews who my favorite comedians are, Rachel Feinstein's name inevitably comes up. She's endlessly enjoyable, does great character work, and combines a sometimes-acidic tongue with excellent, idiosyncratic delivery.
Jamie Kilstein
Jamie Kilstein is a fucking genius. A lot of his stuff is really political, which I love, but he can also do funny slice-of-life stuff that is relatable to anyone, regardless of political affiliation or level of intelligence (that's right, I said LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE. Jamie's really smart.)
W. Kamau Bell
W. Kamau Bell is redonkulus. Super-talented, political, plus white people AND black people think he's racist! I haven't consulted the Asians or the Latinos or the Native Americans or the A-rabs on Kamau's stand-up, but I bet it makes all of them cry.
