hey!!! this was in my inbox and i totally forgot about it so i’m sorry about that!
first off unfortunately i cannot help with stand-up as i have never seen a stand-up special in my life LOL oops! but i can give you some suggestions based on who i like in improv and/or actors in general, many of them are also stand-ups (as well as writers etc)
my favorites are ego nwodim, mary holland, jess mckenna, lennon parham, jessica st. clair, tawny newsome, nicole byer, june diane raphael, betsy sodaro, lily sullivan, chelsea peretti, natasia demitriou, maria bamford, gillian jacobs, lauren lapkus, amy poehler, mary sohn, sasheer zamata, tig notaro, judy greer, kulap vilaysak, claudia o’doherty, natasha leggero… thats what i can think of rn but yeah i hope this is a good starting point!!! 😃
