20 Hilarious Comedians And Their Best One-Liner Jokes

Stand-up comedy is as popular as ever. It’s impossible to keep up with all of it, but if you’re a fan, you know a good joke when you hear one.

There are some incredible one-liner comics out there, but even comedians who tell longer stories know they’ve gotta pack those bits with laughs. A good setup and punchline still matter no matter the style.

I pulled some of my favorite jokes from stand-up comedians who’ve been making audiences laugh for years. Some are veterans, some are newer names, but every one of these jokes hits.
