7 Stand-Up Comedians You're Currently Sleeping On

Looking for some laughs for an hour or so? Check out these amazing stand-up comedians!

Preacher Lawson.

Often described as the "next Eddie Murphy," Lawson broke onto the scene as a finalist in the twelfth season of "America's Got Talent." His fast-paced delivery of jokes will make you feel exhausted (in the best way, of course).

I first discovered this Australian comedian while sitting in an airport. Assuming she was just a carbon copy of Tig Notaro (who appears later on this list), I put on her Netflix stand-up special "Nanette" in search of some background noise. What I found was funny, deeply moving, personal, and sometimes all-out depressing take on her life as a gay woman. I could never recommend anything more.

James Veitch.

This British comedian has two things I don't have: guts and improvisational talent. Veitch's comedy is purely situational, and his most famous bit in which he replies to spam email is the most clever way you can bring situational comedy into the twenty-first century.

Greg Proops.

Yes, there's an "r" in his last name, don't worry. lmprov-comedy aficionados may know him as the one guy with the glasses on "Whose Line Is it Anyway?" Proops is a talkative and blunt comedian who puts out a weekly podcast titled "The Smartest Man in the World," where he gets increasingly inebriated talking about whatever he wants to. His off-the-cuff humor has turned into political banter in the most recent years, and his new comedy album "The Resistance" is something you should definitely check out.

Michelle Wolf.

Yep, the lady who pissed off Donald Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner. Her comedy is witty, timely, and, above all else, not something you should get overly offended by.

Chris Fleming.

John Mulaney's comedy was once described as niche-humor. As a Mulaney fan, I agree with this… but then I discovered Chris Fleming. Fleming's humor represents such a specific type of person that even I don't even know how to describe. It's hilarious, nevertheless. Check out his stand-up special Showpig, you won't regret it.

Tig Notaro.

Notaro is the definition of dry humor, more meant to perform in an intimate coffee house than a massive stadium. Nevertheless, her insanely clever jokes are simply hilarious. Her jokes on motherhood are top-notch and can be seen in her most recent special, Happy To Be Here.

All of these comedians have specials available on multiple streaming services and YouTube.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
