Most of the hot "new" comedians aren't actually new, they just aren't known yet. I love comedy and I promoted a few shows recently, so I'm taking a more proactive role in it.
Doug Stanhope is fucking great, and no matter how big he eventually (hopefully) gets will always take the time to hang out and get fucked up with his fans.
Jim Norton is also absolutely incredible, and no less an authority than Joe Rogan has proclaimed him his favorite stand up comedian.
You should also check out, in no particular order:
Louis CK
Bill Burr
Rich Vos
Robert Kelly
Todd Lynn
Colin Quinn
Patrice O'Neal
Nick DiPaolo
Jim Florentine
Laurie Kilmartin
Keith Robinson
Dave Attell
None of them are new for the most part, but because they aren't hack, politically correct comedians they don't get a lot of mainstream press, although Dave Attell did have the Comedy Central show Insomniac for a while.
