Ten More Comedians You Should Follow on Twitter

A lot has happened since Paste editor-in-chief Josh Jackson published his Comedians Worth Following on Twitter list more than a year ago. Namely, a lot of funny people have joined Twitter! That, coupled with on-the-rise humorists from all over the place getting their tweet on has made it necessary--nay, essential--that the list be updated. Below, then, are 10 more hilarious folks that will fill your daily Twitter trolling with the utmost of mirth. Let me know which ones I missed in the comments or directly on Twitter at @austinlouisray.
