First I want to say I care about 3 things --- comedy, movies, music.

I've seen hundreds of stand-up on TV, internet, and many live.... I don't want this just for me, so if everyone who wants to find more, list down your favorites, and maybe someone has good recommendations based on what you type?

I'll even rate mine in order

1. Mort Sahl
2. Bill Hicks
3. George Carlin
4. Louis CK
5. Bill Burr
6. Dick Gregory
7. Doug Stanhope
8. Mitch Hedberg
9. Dave Chappelle
10. Dov Davidoff

Comedy is weird for me. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with it. Even most comedians I find funny I also dislike in many ways. And yet I've been obsessed with it for the past few months. 

Emo Philips, Mitch Hedberg, Kumail Nanjiani, Kevin Nealon, and Stephen Wright are all ones I can recommend in relatively good faith, though.
