05.04.19 | Gaffigan's opener tonight was Ted Alexandro, who was decent. Guess he's been around awhile, but I never heard of him before. |
tyman128
05.04.19 | Gaffigan has always been a go to for me (literally just watch Noble Ape on the plane like 2 hours ago), but Brian Regan has been a close second |

05.04.19 | if you like bill burr. check out Doug Stanhope. the dude is burr turned up to 11. Basically my spirit animal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhoSTyGSKHc quite possibly the greatest three minutes of stand up ever recorded. "From Across the Street" is my favorite special of his so i recommend checking that out too.
I also like the more obvious ones like Tom Segura (seeing him in a few weeks, front row), Jim Jefferies, and the greats like Bill Hicks, George Carlin, and Richard Pryor. But Doug Stanhope is the GOAT. |

05.04.19 | Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright, Demetri Martin - the classic one-liners! I also enjoy Hannibal and Jeselnik a lot |

05.04.19 | George Carlin is awesome but not quite a stand up comedian...its a more funny Ted Talk lol
I only like LouisCK tbh |

Pheromone
05.04.19 | I cannot understand the adoration of Stewart Lee - he's held in iannucci levels of praise, but I don't find him all that funny. |
zakalwe
05.04.19 | The points he presents and how he presents them.
The Pear Cider routine is fucking amazing. The conclusion to his latest show was a mind blower as well. |
Pheromone
05.04.19 | I'll give it a watch dude, I like what he's saying for the most part but it rarely brings out a laugh. On the other hand, anything Chris Morris has his name on is gold |
zakalwe
05.04.19 | The whole show has to be seen to gain all the references that build to the conclusions that he comes to. The pear cider thing really is something.
Chris Morris is certainly no stand up but yeah Brass Eye and Four Lions are works of genius |
beefshoes
05.04.19 | I have never heard a hilarious stand-up comedy performance. Some are certainly entertaining, and Hannah Gadsby’s special from last year was superb for the message and emotion it conveyed, though it still wasn't funny to me.
Maybe I am just a humourless bastard and am incapable of finding "jokes" funny. |
Egarran
05.04.19 | James Acaster's netflix specials are pretty great - but his subjects are not exactly controversial and he is VERY british, which is obviously a major turn-off.

05.04.19 | So no one dig Louis CK around here? Is it because he got naked in front fame pursuer ladies? He's still hilariously funny. |
TheMightyScoop
05.04.19 | he's funny. just haven't listened to him in awhile for no particular reason.
also, blaming the victims of sexual assault for "fame pursuing" is hilariously childish. |
Egarran
05.04.19 | Oh Louis CK goes without saying. Def in the top 5 of all time.
The metoo thing did more to disqualify themselves over that. I actually saw articles with headlines like 'why Louis CK was never funny'. Yeah lol aint nobody actually thinks that, unless they have a sad agenda. |

05.04.19 | Mitch Hedberg and Eddie Izzard are probably my all time favourites. But I've only ever seen the one Chappelle special and it's amazing. |
Ecnalzen
05.04.19 | Bill Burr is one of my favorites, too. I started watching some Joe Rogen lately and thought he is kind of similar to him.
John Mulaney, Mike Birbiglia, Jim Jeffries, Hasan Minhaj, and Bill Burr are my current favorites.
Ron White, Lewis Black, Bert Kreischer, Trevor Noah, Donald Glover, Bo Burnham, and Demitri Martin are all good for some laughs too.
Iliza Shlesinger, Katherine Ryan, Ali Wong, and Jen Kirkman are all great for some lady funny.
I may watch too much stand up. |
JeetJeet
05.04.19 | Hannibal Burress & Anthony Jeselnik are my two favorites. |
Hawks
05.04.19 | Donald Glover needs to do more standup for sure. His one special that was on Netflix is fucking great. |
Ecnalzen
05.04.19 | Agreed on Glover. Of all the things he does in the entertainment business, I am most interested in his stand up, and I want to see more of it.
Not too interested in his music, some of the tv shows/movies he has been in are good, but his stand up is hilarious.

Kompys2000
05.04.19 | My faves at the moment are Hannibal Buress, Kyle Kinane, Mike Birbiglia, and John Mulaney. I've got a soft spot for your Demitri Martins and your Mitch Hedbergs but storytelling-based comedy will always be what gets me the most.
Honestly, I've never been a big fan of Bill Burr, he was always just a bit too caustic for my tastes. And some Louis CK stuff still holds up but I've really soured on his whole worldview as I've gotten older. Same goes for Bill Hicks. |

05.04.19 | "Eddie Izzard is fucking useless. A Monty Python parody without the guile, wit or bite."
Odd considering Monty Python themselves have praised him, and have gone on to even consider him an honorary member. From John Cleese “I don’t see any Python-esque comedy on television at all. For me the performer that has taken on that surreal Monty Python view of the world is my favourite comedian Eddie Izzard.
“He creates these surreal worlds which he inhabits which is the closest thing to Python that I have seen.” |
Egarran
05.04.19 | Bo Burnham +1 I love that neurotic/genius kid. |
DominionMM1
05.04.19 | Kyle Kinane and Doug Stanhope are two that i’ve probably listened to the most over the last couple years |
Deez
05.04.19 | Bill Burr is one of my favorites, too. I started watching some Joe Rogen lately and thought he is kind of similar to him.'
absolutely not. Rogans comedy is atrocious. Hes made a career out of UFC bros thinking hes funny. His first special I found pretty amusing. Now he makes me cringe I cant even watch any of his shit. Bill Burr is great but his last few specials have been pretty average.
For me Carlin/Pryor/Stanhope/Patrice/C.K/Chappelle/Hicks are all GOAT level. |
Hawks
05.04.19 | Chappelle and Murphy are my GOATS by a large margin but I enjoy a lot of standup. Michael Che’s stuff is hilarious too and Dwayne Perkins is another one that I just thought of. |
Kompys2000
05.04.19 | I remember really liking a Che set I saw on CC years ago but his most recent special left me pretty underwhelmed. Also he's fucking terrible on Weekend Update and yet still somehow better than Colin Jost. |
Doibhin69
05.04.19 | Bill Burr is my fav nowadays too. |
Sinternet
05.04.19 | i need to watch more chappelle, only seen a few of his skits but theyve all been class |
Hawks
05.04.19 | Chappelle is easily one of the best ever. Watch his specials on Netflix. His old specials are all classic too. |
Ryus
05.04.19 | chappelles most recent netflix specials didnt wow me but his old ones are some of my fav standup ive seen |
Hawks
05.04.19 | Idk I dig them all equally tbh. His show is also a bonafide classic in every sense of the word. The man is a genius and always has been. |
Ecnalzen
05.04.19 | "absolutely not. Rogans comedy is atrocious. Hes made a career out of UFC bros thinking hes funny."
I didn't like him for the longest time, but I watched his Strange Times special from last year recently and really enjoyed it, and for whatever reason, it reminded me of Burr. It def wasn't UFC bro material, anyway, lol |

Shuyin
05.04.19 | Dave Chappelle is the goat |
Sinternet
05.04.19 | jimmy carr is all flash no substance imo. his whole schtick is making offensive jokes but he doesn't really have any you didn't see on sickopedia or some shit back in the day, and his delivery is poor. he's a good panel show presenter though |
Kompys2000
05.04.19 | Tosh is an edgelord and there's a lot he says that I really disagree with but he's smart as all hell and knows how to construct a good joke and I respect that. |

05.04.19 | most of my 'favourite comedians' I like more so for their podcasts then actual stand-up: duncan trussell, pete holmes, marc maron, theo von, ari shaffir. Louie and Chappelle probably make me laugh the hardest in terms of actual stand-up though. I saw Dave Attell live and he was great. Some good recent specials I've seen recently: Rory Scovel's latest and Demetri Martin's Live at the Time. Jimmy Carr's good for some laughs too. I probably watch too much stand-up. |
TheMightyScoop
05.05.19 | if you guys haven't checked the Ten Minute Podcast, check it out. It's made up of Will sasso, chris d'elia, and bryan callen. They're pretty average comedians on their own, but for whatever reason this podcast is fucking brilliant. Check out the episodes Dude Finder, All of Bryan's Fan, and Cuddling Movie Night.

05.06.19 | How the fuck did I know there would be at least one CK apologist in here, good lord. I got off a lot of stand-up thanks to so many of them becoming reactionary shitheads like him, but I'm glad to see Wright and Hannibal mentioned. Theo Von and Nate Bargatze have good specials on Netflix at the moment. And Jeselnik is divisive for obvious reasons, but he can write a joke like nobody's business. |

TalonsOfFire
05.06.19 | Jerry Seinfeld is a favorite too, despite some of his stuff not aging well with being kinda safe and pedestrian. Dave Chapelle, Richard Pryor, Steven Wright, Joan Rivers, Ali Wong, George Carlin, and Norm McDonald are great from what I've heard, I just need to hear more. |
