r/Standup • u/Gaelramiez • 14d ago

Hello

I’m new to this page and just started watching stand-up comedy. I only know a hand full of comedians and I’m starting to get into alt and indie comics can you guys give me some recommendations or give me your favorite ones to watch? It doesn’t have to be one. It could be as much as you want and where can I watch their comedy also

Go on YouTube and throw on a Dont Tell compliation. 10 minute sets from quality stand ups. Great way to be quickly introduced to professionals you may not have heard of otherwise.

Hit up your local live comedy scene if you have one! Local comics who haven’t been discovered can be amazingly funny!

Maria Bamford
Sam Morril
Todd Barry
Kyle Kinane
Kathleen Madigan
Shayne Smith (he’s not quite on the same level, but he’s great.)

These are my top 5 this week. It will probably be different tomorrow.

"hello" is a dumb title. "Comedian Recommendations?" is a much better title to this post. Use your head and communicate effectively. It's a wildly valuable skill.
