Favorite Stand Up Comics - Page 107 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I saw Brad Williams for his first set as a regular at the Comedy Store. I forgot his name for a month I think. Today I just found him on twitter. Hes one of those people who probably had to be funny for survival because hes really funny.

For me at least, he's right u[ there w/ Jeffries, and Burr as funniest comics working today

Randomly caught Michael Che's special again and it was still great. Any recommendations on most similar comedians?

I've seen some of their stuff before but I can't say I was ever a fan. It's just not my style of comedy.

Watched a couple episodes of an Epix show called "Unprotected sets" that features up and coming comics doing roughly 20-25 minute sets with brief interview segments mixed in.

The 1st comic, Zainab Johnson, was really good. I liked her set a lot except for about a 2 minute lull midway through.

The 2nd one was not as good but still decent. Turned the 3rd one off halfway through mostly because by Red Dead 2 download finished, but he was markedly worse than the 1st 2.

Speaking of that format, I went through all of the Netflix versions, and I gotta day... Only 1 set was somewhat weak, the African lesbian’s. Cool chick but not that funny. The rest were very good. I was impressed. Haven’t checked out the newest series yet but will this weekend.

Also, Ron White’s latest is decent and Sandler’s was really really fun!!

Watched most of The Degenerates. I don’t think anyone killed. I thought Joey Diaz was funny but it could be because I root for him to do well. I expected Christina P to be a lot funnier but maybe because people seem to talk her up so much.

Just introduced my kids to Brian Regan. My 12-year old was extremely disappointed when the hour-long video was over. She told my wife all about it (my wife and I saw him at a club before we had kids, so she was quite familiar). She also like Jim Gaffigan. As you tell, I've exposed them to "clean" comics.

I have showed them some Mitch Hedberg, so of course some f-bombs have been in there, but they - as they should - think he's hilarious. Watching my 9-year old's brain process the jokes and then see the smile come across his face is great.

Joe Rogan: Strage Times

I'll give it 3/5, worth watching. Funniest Rogan special I've ever seen, I usually find his standup annoying.

Ron White: If You Quit Listening, I'll Shut Up

4/5 Love me some Ron White.

Kathleen Madigan: Madigan Again

3/5, I loled a few times. Her delivery sometimes sounds clunky to me.

Christina P: Mother Inferior

1/5. No.

Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts And Prayers

1/5. First time I've seen Jeselnik. Half the show is a monologue about how cool and edgy and non-PC he is, or a lame meta-analysis of his own jokes. I think he's just trying to compensate for the actual jokes being completely unfunny.

She’s also married to Tom Segura, who had the 2 best specials on Netflix up till this year.

Brad Williams was my favourite in the degenerates. I hate Yamanika and didn't watch her part. Diaz was OK but and I don't remember Christina P at all 3 days later.

Being married to Tom is probably a big part of why you'd expect her to be funny (also probably why she got the special).

Christina's special just isn't that funny, while I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Tom, Completely Normal and Mostly Stories 2 of my all time favourite's.

I have to disagree. I can see how Jeselnik is not for everyone but I find him hilarious.

Christina P is really good on their podcast but her standup is kind of meh.

Just had Cristina P on for a few minutes, decided taking the trash out was better. Came back 3 minutes later and the wife had turned her off, said "that lady wasn't funny". So we agreed on something.

Jeselnik seems like he'd be a dick in real life though.

I'm going to agree that Christina P is not funny. Joey Diaz was solid but he seems funnier when he's not on stage.

Michelle Wolf's special "Nice Lady" is good if you're looking for a stand up special from a female comic. Same for Katherine Ryan's "In Trouble".
