Re: The Stand-up Comedian Thread
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.

Re: The Stand-up Comedian Thread
yea the opening bit got me hook line and sinker, but it took a major nose dive after that. Think i lasted 10 minutes at most.

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...

Re: The Stand-up Comedian Thread
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.VinylGuy wrote:ill look for the torrent.tragabigzanda wrote:Louis CK just released a new special on his site, $7.99.

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