Any Stand-up fans?

Forgot to mention... I loved the high energy delivery of Robin Williams. It was fun to watch/listen to every snippet of thought drop out of his mouth.

The new Tom Segura special is fan ducking tastic.

The new Tom Segura special is fan ducking tastic.

His albums are killer. He's the right mix of self deprecating and spitefully hateful. And just random ridiculousness.

The newest Norm Macdonald on Netflix is really good.

If you’re running out of stand up, there are several comedy podcasts that are great:

You Made it Weird (Pete Holmes)
WTF (Mark Maron)
The Sitdown with Mike Recine
Tuesdays with Stories ( Mark Normand & Joe List)
Gilbert Godfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast
The Bonfire (Big Jay & Dan Soder)
Cum Town (Nick Mullen, Stavros Halkias & Aaron Friedland)

The newest Norm Macdonald on Netflix is really good.

Norm is the fuckin' man. Last season of the podcast was really hit-or-miss, though, even though he had some really big names on (though maybe that was actually a contributing factor).

I think Stewart Lee might have surpassed him as my favorite active comedian, though.

Somehow managed to find someone on Spotify I hadn't heard yet... Sean White. I honestly can't tell if he's drunk or he just has a natural slur but some solid bits.

A bunch off the top of my head...

Dana Gould
Maria Bamford
Emily Heller
Brooks Wheelan
Wyatt Cenac
Jackie Kashian
Dan Telfer
Guy Branum
Matt Braunger
Rhea Butcher
Hampton Yount
Ali Wong
Baron Vaughn
Max Silvestri
Jared Logan
Kumail Nanjiani
Rory Scovel
Kurt Braunholer
Sasheer Zamata (she's on SNL, had no idea she did standup and loved her special)


A lot of them don't have as many albums/specials as I would like, since they write for tv shows or act and that sort of thing.

Dan Telfer reminds me a lot of Eugene Mirman as far as voice/delivery/intelligence goes. The side-rant about dinosaurs is hilarious. PENGUINS ARE GODDAMN ICE DRAGONS!!!!!!

I also think a back-to-back set (or maybe even a podcast) with Clayton English and Bruce Jingles would be hilarious.

Speaking of, as much as I love standup, I've only been to a few comedy shows (mostly due to the lack of a good venue).
Zach Galifianakis - actually did a show at my college, dropped the n-bomb and ended the show in a Little Orphan Annie costume with Dimetri Martin style easel/notepad thing
John Pinette - Sadly, I'm fairly certain he was already drunker than he should have been getting on stage. At some point during the show he just started singing.
Christopher Titus - Maybe the best of the bunch as far as the show goes. He actually went over his time but still did the fan interaction at the end of the show, even though there was another show right after. But, I grew up watching the TV show and am more of a fan than most.
Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood - As a fan of Whose Line, this was great. I actually laughed so hard at this show I had to go to the hospital the next day.

Not exactly stand-up but one of my favorite funny people. You may recognize some of these bits from THE YOUNG ONES.

I was listening to the latest Diane Spencer this afternoon while working:



Not quite as great as some earlier shows but she always cracks me up

[drolo]

also, in staying in the British regions, Ross Noble! I used to listen to him while driving to my job and and just laughed in one go

I can't believe I forgot....
Danny Bhoy
Frankie Boyle
Fern Brady

Those last two especially... Frankie has outstanding material, but he seems to do even better ripping into hecklers. He's vicious and I love it. Fern is just the best mix of awkward and self deprecating.

[molokaio]

don't know if he qualifies as comedy, but lately I'm back into my obsession for doug stanhope.

[calfzilla]

Stanhope is hilarious. The bald spot bit is classic. JT Habersaat is another in that vein.
