Which male stand-ups are openly gay?

Does anyone find Matteo Lane truly funny? I *want* to find him funny, but he seems to trade almost exclusively in tired clichés. You can see his jokes coming from miles away.

Plenty in Australia: Josh Thomas, Joel Creasy, Nath Valvo, Tom Ballard, Rhys Nicholson.
I can't stand any of them.

I cannot stand Josh Thomas either, R8. From his ugly, little wrinkled face and his shock of unkempt hair to his pretentious accent and his twee mannerisms, he is truly the worst of the worst. The rest of them I find tolerable and even quite funny at times. Tom Ballard is exactly my type in terms of looks - dorky, but cute.

I will give it to Mario Cantone. I find him extremely funny. When Gilbert Gottfried had his podcast, Mario would come on every December for the Christmas episode and the two of them had me gasping for air, I was laughing so much.

Mario Cantone’s riff on “The Birds” starts very funny where he sings the schoolchildren’s song but then he runs the joke into the ground.

Too many of these gay comedians stress the gay part with their stereotypical mannerisms and forget the comedy.

Joel says he's playing a character. Anyhow he does make me laugh (not belly laughs) but mainly he's a good storyteller.

Larry Dean. Gay AND Scottish are two of his themes. I've only heard short bits but I find him very quick and likeable.

I like Bowen Yang as a sketch artist and he’s great in Nora From Queens. I know you all don’t like him so no need to come after me.

I've seen Jay Jurden a few times around NYC and I think he is pretty damn funny. Certainly better than Matteo Lane was.

I think Matteo can be funny R3, but I think R19 really nails it:

Without the gay "schtick" I'm not sure what he has to separate himself from other comedians (and maybe that is the point). Anybody can bitch about airline food.

R48 Ugh. Jessica Kirson mainly just belittles people in the crowd and laughs at herself when she says something she thinks is funny.
A little bit of her goes a long, long way. She's like the ugly lesbian version of Matt Rife.

I find Matteo funny, but I also find his faux NYC elitism quite off putting. You're from Arlington Heights, Il. Matteo, so quit trying to act like you are NYC born and bred. Don't get above your raisin'! A real New Yorker would never be so pompous.

He definitely did not grow up in NY r51, but the guy has lived in NY for well over a decade now. That's a good amount of time. I think after about 4-5 years in a city you can really start claiming it, but that's me.

No, all you can claim is that you are a New York City resident, not a New York City native. BIG difference.

You know R51 ...
I was about to write a comment about how so many New Yorkers are pompous asses (and yes, many, MANY, of them are) ... BUT
I am now questioning how many are native New Yorkers, and ... it is not looking good for the transplants.

Jessica Kirson is certainly not a gay male (she is a lesbian, though), but I personally like her a lot—she excels at crowd work which is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s also not something all comedians are capable of doing either. She makes me laugh—I can say that much.

I lived in NYC for 3 years in the late 80s. The transplants (at least early on in their residencies) were always very pro NYC. Everything about the city was magical to them. There was no other place on earth they would want to live. The natives all dreamed of the same thing, getting out one day. After my temporary assignment there was over and I came back home permanently I kept in touch with many of the NYC transplants I knew or would catch up with them when I'd return a few days a month for business. Without fail they all had fled the city within 5 years of moving to that magical place.

Whitehall is fancy upper crust boarding school British, which means it's going to take more than female partners and fathering a child to convince me he's heterosexual. He makes John Inman look macho in comparison!

Tim Dillon reminds me of those gay dudes who tries too hard to fit in with the straights, so he acts as boorish and asinine as your typical wingnut, even he probably doesn’t believe half of the shit he spouts to be accepted by them.
He is funny, though.
