I love comedians that don’t act as “wisecrackers”. Comedians that build their act on their own pain. This is why Louis CK is high on my list that doesn’t exist. He’s one of the few American comedians I follow just because of that.

I’m also not a fan of one-lining comedians just because I feel like it doesn’t give me anything more than laughs compared to a complete patched together red-thread act.

I’m a huge sucker for panel-shows with integrity to them. We have a show in Norway that adresses news in a funny way. I’m also a massive fan of QI.

A lot of comedians who do stand-up are amazing at writing, acting or at panel-shows, but not that great at stand-up.

If I have to name an absolute favorite comedian it would have to be Richard Ayoade. That man is a great actor and he manages to combine his shy being with some insanely well-timed jokes. To my knowledge he doesn’t do stand-up, which I think is a good idea as his way of being just works better with other people.

To drop some more names.

John Pinette  
Sean Lock  
David Mitchell  
Bill Bailey  
John Cleese

I like

Bill Burr

Zach Galifianakis

Probably more, but I tried to include some that haven’t been mentioned. Bill Burr is probably my fav.
