Does anyone have any decent stand-up comedy recommendations? I obviously don't want anything woke but it doesn't have to be anti-woke either (although I'm certainly open to anti-woke recommendations as well). It seems like stand-up comedy is dying along with the rest of the entertainment industry.

I've yet to see anyone online admit that they find Rogan to be a legitimately funny comedian.
I have no particular hate for Rogan. But it's interesting that such a successful guy in other domains (sitcoms, reality TV, MMA, pioneering podcasting, shilling BS supplements) identifies and labels himself firstly as a road comic. Despite the fact that it's the one domain that there's a universal understanding that no one thinks he's good at it and he's just using his wealth and status to hang around with his comedian buddies and give himself more everyman street cred.
I don't watch Rogan post-Spotify, but I discovered Theo Von via JRE.
The memes BITD were that not only is Rogan a hack comic, but he doesn't understand & appreciate better comics stylings like Von on his podcast, allowing dry wit to to fly right over his head, ruining bits and even getting passive aggressive when comics were funnier than him on-air.
