Brent Weinbach is one of my favorite comics in the country. The idea that he can take over a comedy club while speaking monotonously and holding the mic with two hands is absolutely amazing to me. I guess it's because he's insanely funny.

Jasper Redd is as funny as it gets. I like how he slides into jokes slyly, sort of like Mitch Hedburg. The ideas in his bits always explode.

I love Kamau. He's a big guy with a big stage presence, and his comedy is pushy -- he takes it straight to the audience. But his jokes are always a little off kilter, they always surprise you.

I love a dry comic, and Tig Notaro is a world champion in that department. This is a great example.
