I found Pete Davidson’s Netflix special scatterbrained and formless. Outside of the opening about Louis CK, I don’t think I laughed at all.

By the way, we all know CK is an asshole for obvious reasons, but Jesus Christ what an asshole that guy is.

I saw him Olympia, WA in 2001. It was interesting.
My wife LOVES him. I’ve only heard/seen bits and pieces of his stuff but I always find it very funny

There should be a "like" counter on there.

Going to see Chad Daniels in a week. Anyone else here listen to The Middle of Somewhere podcast? 2 Minnesota comedians (Chad and Cy Amundson) just swapping stories. It’s awesome.

Tom Segura's new Netflix special is pretty great. Aside from his bit about your mom...

I was supposed to see Pearl Jam in St. Louis tonight. Instead, for $8 I had a fun hour watching a master past his prime yet still able to hit the high notes here and there. I download a lot of torrents so I’m not high and mighty, but Louis putting this out now was a gift, and I was happy to legitimately support it.

Louis has still got it. It's not his best special at all, but there are still some funny bits.
