I am an Australian who is a comedy fanatic. Who are the best stand up comedians from the USA in your opinion?

r/

I feel like a lot of the comedians I know of from the USA that are the most notable are moreso comedic actors or actors that happen to play in sitcoms and not your traditional standup. And it’s not to discredit them because those people are really talented they just probably don’t do that much stand up

Whereas I don’t really know a whole lot about the best traditional stand up names

The main ones I know are Joe Rogan (who of course is also known for many others thing like his podcast and hosting fear factor and UFC stuff) Tony Hinchcliffe, Ryan Goodcase, Redban, Shane Gillis, Whitney Cummings, Nikki Glaser, Brian Simpson. So I know a few but I’d love to learn of more

    Probably Bill Burr. It used to be Dave Chapelle before he went off the deep end

    Josh Johnson has been gaining popularity doing stand-up, in addition to appearing on The Daily Show.

    I grew up with Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinison, Leo Gallagher, George Carlin, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ray Stevens.
    I kind of stopped paying attention to standup after the 90’s.
