Not as good as Thoughts and Prayers, but still pretty great.
I had never watched thoughts and prayers, but did thanks to the posts on this page. “Who was it that said the first million was the hardest? Was it Hitler?” :lol: Thanks, guys.
I can't believe you never saw that. Its so brilliant.

I have yet to watch his new one but I did see him on that tour in denver last year. It was good. Not mind blowing by any means....Will be interesting to see the standup and see how it may have evolved.

And i've never actually seen a comedian on tour while he was preparing for some sort of video release....
I was at Gervais’ Out Of England 2 taping at Chicago Theater. Saw Louis CK there the next night.

We saw Bobby Lee last month and he was so fucking great.

I don't understand why he refuses to do specials.

If you're not talking about Jake Flores, the cumtown boys, and the red scare ladies arguing about whether Louis CK is a worker you're really not on the cutting edge of comedy.

I thought the new Jeselnik on Netflix was horrible. After about 5 jokes, I was predicting every "twist" in his joke before he made it

Wholly agree. He’s just Dane Cook now.
This is a ridiculous comparison.

Cook and Jeselnik have completely different deliveries, timing and personalities.
