Reddit reviews Sleepwalk with Me: and Other Painfully True Stories

birbigs is awesome and blowing up the last couple of years. he has a new book, did a one-man show off-broadway, and has been all over this american life on npr.

patrice o'neal is hilarious and vastly underappreciated. louis ck has a lot of recognition and rightfully so, but i don't think anyone can call him mainstream. maria bamford's sheer nuttiness makes me laugh every time. greg proops has been doing a lot of other things for a long time, but his standup is still top-notch. dov davidoff is a guy on the rise who has a hedberg-esque persona. james adomian is known for his dead-on impersonations, but his standup is great too. there are tons of great comedians working right now.

start checking out some comedy podcasts and they'll introduce you to lots of great people. my favorites are wtf with marc maron, comedy death ray radio, doug loves movies, and risk! which isn't standup, but is some wickedly funny true stories.
