Joe Pera
Todd Barry
Rodney Dangerfield.
Still the king of one liners.
Jeff Arcuri - his funniest stuff is his crowd work so he constantly has new stuff to watch.
Milton Jones. His style is basically one-liners, but he's amazing at them. If you've ever watched his appearances on Mock the Week you'll know.
Bruan Reagan and Norm McDonald are two of my favorites.
Lee Mack
My personal favourite is Jon Richardson.
That guy that's always drinking whiskey
"I'm Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink"?

This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.
Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.
Bill Burr is great too.
The end of the supermarket episode of Joe Pera Talks With You made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed in my life.
Ross Nobel has a surrealist ability beyond all others, delivered in a geordie accent makes it perfect.

I'm going with the niche german option: Jan Philip Zymny. He is a former Poetry Slammer and writes hilarious dadaistic texts. An he can also do that spontaneous together with the audience.
And of course the german comedian Thorsten StrΓ€ter.
Joke answer: Peter Molyneux
Serious answer: The sadly now retired Eckart von Hirschhausen, who does comedy mostly about health and medical topics.

Chris Estrada. His TV show This Fool is one of the best things to watch, it's SO good.
Also Maria Bamford is a riot.
Patton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
Jimmy O. Yang.
Jo Koy.
There are others, but these are the most recent I've watched.
Frankie Boyle
Stavros Halkias
Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias
Benny Hill.
