I love stand up comedy but I feel like the comics I am used to have gone stale and I would love to find some new ones.

I would love some recommendations from anyone who also enjoys stand up.

I don't listen to a whole lot of the genre, but I stumbled across Kyle Cease years ago. I heard his bit about NES and checked him out. No idea if he's around still...

Jim Gaffigan and Tim Hawkins are two of my favorites, though I'm not huge on stand-up comedy as a whole.

Edit: They're both completely clean.

Stewart Lee is my favourite comedian. He does a lot of satire if you like that.

Eddie Izzard comes very close second. Death state canteen is brilliant!

I don't like the vulgar stuff, but it seems like most comedians think it's a gold mine. Good & clean stand-up is rare. I liked Bill Cosby. Sorry, I don't really have a suggestion!

I agree with this whole heartedly, it makes it very hard to find decent comedians.

I liked Eddie Izzard when I first listened to his cassettes around 18 years ago... I went to see him live a couple of years ago and barely raised a smile.

I think Milton Jones is hilarious... his deadpan delivery is fantastic when coupled with his dry one-liners.

I think Tim Vine is really funny too... he's famous for his one liners and he rattles off so many than some are misses but there are so many hits.

These three are mostly clean language... they don't really on vulgarity anyway.

Jim Jefferies rant on gun control is fantastic... and hilarious.... but the language may not be for some. I'm not that bothered personally but some might be.

Dara O'Briain is very clever with his stand up routine and I've always found him funny. Frankie Boyle will easily offend some.... his material can be ridiculously offensive... but I actually think it's also very funny.
