Also comes to mind: I love Dropout and their content -- their show Make Some Noise will never cease to make me cackle, as will Breaking News. A few months ago I got deep into Taskmaster--hilarious, absurdist wonderful comedy. A man who will always make me laugh is Bob Mortimer, a British comedian who is so absurdist but so authentic (see his stories on Would I Lie To You--to die for).
