Thaer / Jordan 
What comedians do you like?
Hello, my name's Thaer and I am from Jordan. And today's question is, who are your favorite comedians?
Well, I have actually a couple of comedians that I really like, and I really like to watch, too. One of them is Kevin Hart. This guy is really funny, and he has a really funny and nice sense of humor that I really like. And I also like Russell Peters. This guy is the Indian-Canadian standup comedy guy. Even though his jokes is kind of racist, but it's really comedy if you don't look at in a racist way. So those are the two. And so both of them are really, really, fun to watch and I find really funny. So what about you? What are your favorite comedians?
