The Stand-up Comedian Thread

[bada]

The Jo Koy stand up on Netflix was pretty funny.

Watched Chappelle's new specials. The first had some funny stuff and felt like a legitimate concert film. The second is astounding. It's just him talking to 50 people about shit going on that week, that day, and it's funny. And fucking ballsy. He says shit no other famous people would. He talked about Louis CK and it was heartfelt and brave and, man, I just admire his skill. He's peerless.

i really, really enjoyed both of these specials. much more than the previous netflix specials he put out. i loved the two different settings for these, shows how versatile he can be. that second one was full of really poignant and touching commentary.

[bodysnatcher]

i'm also laughing at the fact that people are "up in arms" about a few of the jokes he made, which proved his point exactly.

goddammit, why do i even skim the headlines of some websites.

[Norah]

Yeah the two new Chappelle specials are great. Much, much better than the previous specials he put out recently.

[Jorge]

I'll check them out, or at least one of them. The last two were really fucking lame

[Norah]

I agree. I nearly didn't watch these because the last two sucked. But I was bored and it Netflix was pushing it on me hard.

I really liked his Comedy Central show. Deserved another season.

Got tickets to see Anthony Jeselnik in June.

i just picked up tickets to see him in may at the vic. my wife and i love this guy. he's so damn dark. we saw him 3 years ago at the vic, and he just eviscerated someone in the front row who got a little too chatty with him.

still my favorite jeselnik joke (the day of the Boston Marathon bombing for context):

[LoathedVermin72]

I thought Dave Chappelle’s The Bird Revelation was super good.

RIP Barry Crimins. Way more influential to today's comedy scene than a lot of people realize. Watch "Call Me Lucky" if you've got the time.

Went out to see Nate Bargatze tonight. His delivery is fantastic. He was getting big laughs from, if you go by how the mc was received, a pretty discerning crowd, and he was doing it without swearing. Tha always impresses me. So much harder. Going through the list of comedians I’ve personally seen who didn’t swear - Seinfeld! Steven Wright, and this guy. After the show I wondered why I don’t go out for more live comedy.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Brian Regan has had success without swearing

Cosby kept it pretty clean. On stage, anyway.

[Peeps]

david mitchell vs lee mack is phenomenal

[wease]

Going to see Jerry Seinfeld in June.

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.

That sounds like absolute hell
