The Stand-up Comedian Thread

[daft twat]

Any Kevin Bridges fans here? Scottish comedian from Glasgow. I just watched his first two specials from 2010 and 2012. The first one is unreal. I cannot believe a 23 year old wrote a set that tight and performed it so breezily in such a big room. It’s nearly perfect. Special 2 had some nice moments, but he swore 20 times as much. I hate the laziness of that more than anything else in comedy. I have two specials to go.

Yeah he's brilliant. Love his bus stop bit.

Bo Burnham "INSIDE" is about as good as anything you will ever watch.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

if a comedian is picking up a guitar, I'm so out

lol yeah

[bodysnatcher]

not a fan of flight of the conchords?

Idk that it added much to his act, but for Demitri Martin it seemed like a necessary conduit to not just be considered a Steven Wright wannabe. These Are Jokes is a pretty solid album.

i havent seen it, and i might but i fear he is just too cute, bland and correct and i need more ugly truth in my comedy.

[doone]

Well fuck.
