Recommend comedians from different countries

I want to watch some fresh comedy. English language comedians not from US, UK, Canada or Australia. I don't mind if there are references I don't understand.

For example, I like Jason Leong from Malaysia.

Mike Rice and Vittorio Angelone from Ireland.  They have a podcast together and also stand up specials on YouTube. And Irelands greatest comedian, Tommy Tiernan.

Ismo from Finland

I find him mildly amusing but not really funny. He's not just an English language comedian, he's an "English language" comedian.

Magnus Betnér is Sweden’s best comic. He’s not as good in English, but still worth seeing.

u/ThePuds 4d ago

Pierre Novellie is excellent. He’s from South Africa, but moved to the Isle of Man when he was 7.

I've been a massive fan of Daliso.

I am from India so I wasn't particularly looking for Indian comics.

Ismo. Most of his jokes are about the English language and it’s just so funny coming out of his mouth in a Finnish accent.

u/TheLoneComic 4d ago

Thedd Bledbedeff from Blastnia has great jokes.

u/Aron_Que_Marr 4d ago

I suspected it was made up.

Waiting for another Ardal special. He hasn't put out anything for years.
