Two of my favourite programmes are never mind the buzz****s and have i got news for you.

If you havnt you should check out Simon Amstell and Russell Howard for stand up. The only problem being that a lot of the humour does relate to being british.. but give them a go? you might like them?
Same for a lot of British stand up comedians. Probably limits their appeal outside of the UK.
