A+ Patton, I'm really excited to see him in a few weeks.
Louis' latest show was really great, I think way better than his last few specials. A lot darker, which is saying something. No idea if they were recording it, although it very much had the feel of a recorded special so hopefully that comes out.
Just got tickets to Chris Gethard's new show too, which I'm really excited about.
i saw this show in 2013. it was good. read the blurb if you're going to buy it, the bit with the finger is relevant and one of the few things i remember about it.
Saw Jim jefferies on Saturday. He was awesome as expected. Had some really good material to battle hecklers too. He spent a good 10 minutes demolishing some guy.
Seeing Kumail Nanjiani tonight and Leggero on Friday. Might see another show or two as well this week but schedule pretty busy.
Gonna go see Lachlan Patterson on the 8th. Haven't really watched much of his stuff but I vaguely remember seeing him on Last Comic Standing. I'm just gonna keep it that way so his material will be 100% fresh to me.
I think Bill Burr has a new special coming up pretty soon. Not sure if it's gonna be on Netflix or CC or what but that's definitely one to watch for.
damn! always wondered how much someone like bill burr made off a netflix special. obv nowhere near $20 mill, but would be interesting to see the numbers.
Going to see Brian Regan in a couple of weeks. One of my favorites but have never seen him live.
Watched the latest Sebastian Maniscalco special on Showtime. He seems poised for the big time. Thought it was kind of weak though. Some pretty standard bits about Whole Foods and some long forgettable bits about trips to Italy and Turkey. Seems like his whole shtick is the weird voice and facial expressions/body movements. The material itself isn't that great. I still like him when he focuses on his family, growing up Italian, etc.
if anyone cares, there is a new rogan special on netflix today (friday)
trailer made it look awfully bad. have never watched his standup, was thinking about doing so, but yikes.
I like his podcast cos he's great at holding a conversation and has some good guests but I generally mute it whenever he's trying to be funny. Can't imagine his stand up is watchable.
Watching the Rogan special right now. Pretty terrible so far as he is high as **** (his words). Did have one real solid joke so far though in the first 15 mins.
