Who would you say are the funniest black comedians working right now?

[Cynic]

It's weird stand up comedy is in this weird place because a lot of would be comedians are sticking to the social media circuit. I think we had a golden era with the kings of comedy, Chappelle, Rock, etc. All performing during a time when stand up was a requirement to make it in comedy. Now we got dudes like Druski who's whole schtick is to do skits but would actually bomb hard on stage.
The people you mentioned in the OP are OK. I just think the talent is out there but they are pursuing comedy in other outlets

Carmichael had a spark and he can write full on tv shows but this bizarre avant garde sh!t is where he lost it.

I started his latest stand up but cut it off when he was still on the story about getting into it with his son. That shyt wasn't funny to me at all. This is coming from a fan of his.
