Why ancient Greek comedians of course! buh-dump psh!

Actually it is that simple, unless you want names. If so, Aristophanes and Menander are pretty good. However, this is largely pretty mature stuff. Aristophanes wrote a play telling how the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta ended, the women of Greece collectively withheld sex from their husbands (even the prostitutes stopped, and that was a pretty heavy business since most men didn't marry until their late 20s, thirties). Some of Aristophanes' stuff was so raunchy that it wasn't properly translated for a while. Naturally, I highly recommend Aristophanes.
