I'm generally left-learning and I enjoy the usual left-leaning comedians - you know, TDS, Colbert, Kimmel and the likes.

But I also pride myself on being open-minded and listening to all sides, and I don't know any good right-leaning comedians. And ya know, if it's funny, I'll laugh at anything said by anyone.

So please make suggestions! Whose jokes and commentaries are worth listening to?

And in case it wasn't clear, this is NOT flamebait: I'm genuinely looking for good comedy material from comedians on the side of the political spectrum I'm not on, for my own education.

Finally a real list that doesn't include Dave Chapelle - whom I already knew and whom find extremely unfunny.

I do enjoy Bill Maher very much. I don't always agree with him but at least he makes good points and he's funny. If nothing else, I respect his ability to address points regardless of which side of the political divide they traditionally fall on.

I've watched Joe Rogan too - not for comedic value but to listen to some of his guests - and he sucks ass. I didn't think he was trying to be funny, because he really isn't. Buf if he is, it's not working at all. He's just a terrible Youtuber the same way countless other Youtubers are, just with a bigger audience, as far as I can tell.

I don't know any of the others you mention. So I will gladly check them out now. Thanks!
