    Love Swardson - he stole every scene he was in in Grandma's Boy and was tremendous in Blades of Glory. I've seen Brian Regan multiple times...very, very good choice. Boulger's well-known in Massachusetts and will be a household name at some point.

    The wife and I are going to see Louis CK in Nashville next month. I know a little about him, but I'm not sure if he fits into the category of "comic most people haven't heard of." Funny dude.

    Adam Sandler wrote that stuff, and Gay Robot actually appeared on his disc, "Shh ... Don't Tell."

    He had a very underrated show on HBO in 2006 called Lucky Louie. It was cancelled after one season and got mostly terrible reviews, but it was funny shit. Another comic giant, Jim Norton, played an awesome character in it and the lady who does the voice of Bobby Hill was Louie's wife. There were a bunch of other great stand-up comics with roles in the show.

    I love Lucky Louie. that's how I discovered Louis CK. And I watched it mainly to see Norton, who is one of the funniest comics I've ever seen. Saw him in Nashville last year. Fantastic show. Took pictures afterward. Real cool guy.

    Jeff Kreisler - Some great political humor. Ivy league grad. Has done some behind the scenes stuff at Comedy Central, but no on-camera stuff there that I know of.

    This is one of my favorite songs from Lynch:


    John Valby (aka Dr. Dirty, I think) is a piano-man dude who writes raunchy versions of songs.

    Fransisco, as others have said, is great... especially his movie-trailer voice.

    Saw a dude named Tim Joyce the other day... he cracked me up. He even did Shakespearian-tit jokes... which was an experience.
