One of my favourites is by Danny Boy talking about Australia (pretty sure it was Australia) and hotels.
Demitri Martin is also the dry kind of witty that I enjoy.
Working from home and between music, fantasy hockey podcasts, and game of thrones conspiracy audio blogs- I like to throw on some stand up comedy for background noise. I think Ive done most of the Louis CK, Bill Burr and Amy Schumers- so looking for some new voices- any good recomendations? Cab ne mainstream or a little more underground. Profanity is not an issue and I dont offend easily so edgier suggestions are welcome too. Cheers!!

Sebastian Maniscalco - Whats Wrong With People 1 & 2 are pretty good and recent. Think he's still on tour maybe.
While he is dead and gone now, one of my all time favorites is Patrice O'Neal. His stuff is decidedly for men, and he likes taking shots at women, deservedly or not!

Not sure if you're looking for new stuff as in "recent," or just something new that you may not have given a good listen before. So this is definitely not underground or obscure, but I rank Bill Hicks in the must try category if you haven't already. Unfortunately, like Patrice O'Neal, he's also in the "gone too soon" club.
Completely different style and more contemporary, Tommy Johnagin is another who I consistently enjoy.
And about as mainstream as it gets, I also think Jim Gaffigan is hysterical.

Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Jim Jefferies...
I'd stick with Jimmy Carr's earlier work as I think that was better... Jefferies can get long winded and Boyle may need subtitles if you have difficulty with Scottish.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Jim Jefferies is great, but I feel like he rose to soon and has only really one set right now.
And there’s this one guy I saw on CBC’s comedy show who was bald and had a joke about his old high school football team called the sparrows with a tree in the middle of the field. I can’t remember his name.

Carlin and Lewis Black are my standbys. Their routines still produce chuckles even after the first few runs through their material...well, for me at least. Rare feat with comedy.
