If you can't appreciate Tom Segura's two special then you don't have a good sense of humor. His First 48 bit still cracks me the frick up

Bo Burnham "What." and "Make Happy." His style is very experimental and creative. Sometimes it is more creative than outright funny. It's still hilarious in parts. He also tries to mix in some heartfelt messages with absurdity.

He's become my favorite comedian.

Found it on youtube. Wasn't his best all-time work, but he still had a couple killers.

Louie CK has a new special. I watched it while doing cardio at the gym which was a mistake. I was laying out loud at some ofbthe jokes. I like CK, but his shtick got old to me. Did not tho k I'd laugh as hard as I did because some of his jokes pushed the line hard, but still worked great.

The abortion joke he starts out with is something that if you described it to me, I wouldn't think I'd laugh (or possibly change the channel), but he does a good job of showing just how fricked up the issue is and doesnt really make any political statements.

If you haven't already discovered him go watch the Sebastian Manascalco specials. They are awesome and I had never heard of the guy.

Well, looks like everything I was gonna recommend had already been mentioned.

On one hand, I appreciate the amount of stand-up content Netflix offers. On the other, I've seen a fair amount of duds on Netflix too, so I'm starting to wonder if they're going to the well a little too much. The other day, I heard Bill Burr say he believed stand-up might be entering its "hair metal phase", where even the B-listers are now getting hour-long specials, and I can't say I disagree with him...

Nick Offerman had one that came out about a year in a half ago. Not sure if it's still on netflix but it's pretty funny.

Bill Burr new one as well.

I'm going to second anything from Mike Birbiglia (watch his two movies on there, too), Bo Burnham and John Mulaney.

ETA: Demetri Martin's special is great as well.

Neil Brennan’s latest one is awesome, even if he seems like a supreme douche in real life.

Shane Gillis

Tim Dillon

Bumping Mics with Dave Attell and Jeff Ross is awesome too in addition to his latest standup.

Anthony Jeselnik, Nate Bargatze, Shane Gillis, Sheng Wang, Dusty Slay, and Bill Burr are all worth a watch. Michelle Wolf had a couple episode stand up series that was probably the funniest female stand up I've ever seen.

I actually enjoyed Pete Davidson's latest set. The world is coming to an end.
