Colin Murphy and Frankie Boyle are the first two names that spring to mind for current comedians. They're the only two I consider 100% dependable for laughs. Especially, the former. Murphy's so under-rated it's ridiculous (if you check out his work on the Irish satirical show The Panel, you'll see what I mean.) One of the best improvers I've ever seen. Like lightning. And I'm not just saying that 'cos he's a Belfast boy. Though, that's certainly a plus.
Speaking of...
Patrick Kielty's gotten a bit sweary lately and it feels like a weird fit for him, but he's still solid, too."The bear is a solitary animal. They like their space. They live in a magic circle. They don't mind if you're, like, a mile away. But if you get inside their circle, they will maul you." - Anonymous

I'll bump this thread a bit.
More and more US comedians are coming in Montreal outside the Just for Laugh festival, which is pretty big. Managed to see my favorite Louis CK on his Hilarious tour last year, and fucking Doug Stanhope, who also killed. 3 years ago Eddie Izzard did a mini-tour and came over and we got front-row tickets. It's one of those comedians that can't be translated on a CD, which is my main way to discover those guys.
Also, a sort-of revelation, Christopher Titus. His show on FOX a few years ago as funny, and Stacey Keach KILLED as his father, but on stage he's actually really impressive. His The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour is a classic.
A Just for Laugh gala hosted by John Clesse was worth it if only to see him shred it on stage. Glorious.
Now I'm waiting for my other favorite Patton Oswalt to come over.
EDIT: And other comedians I enjoy, like Carlin, old Eddie Murphy and his bush bitch, Lewis Black, the genius of Mitch Hedberg, some Lampanelli (her act is always the same...), Aziz Anzari, Brian Posehn and so on...Last edited by Martin; 02-20-2011, 06:46 AM.BACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACON

Just watch Patrice O'Neal on CC last night. I laughed but it seems as though he focuses too much on sexism and racism.

Also, I was too drunk to type this last night, but Hannibal Buress's "My Name Is Hannibal" is another hilarious, underrated album from last year."Here, young man, your hormones are raging.
