Huge recommendation from me btw

Haven't seen his special yet
But last summer when I was in LA I saw him at laugh factory and comedy store a Bunch, always killed it , and was obvious he was about to get his own special soon

How should I view his standup now?

I'm sure his standups are on iTunes.
if you have netflix instant u can stream "fully functional" on ur iPad.

but both alcaholocaust and fully functional are worth whatever iTunes is charging.

doubt they have "contraband" on there but skip it.
he didn't even want it released and paramount did so without his permission.

pls tell me you've seen all 3 of bill burrs specials.

ya he has an HBO one night stand and a 30min Comedy Central special.
both are good but his 3 actual specials are on a whole other level.

if u like the Jim Jeffries specials (which I'm sure U will) def check out his recent appearance on the joe rogan podcast it's hilarious.

I love Jim Jefferies when he stars with short jokes, but hate his closing long stories. Or mb he's just getting too drunk towards the end of show.

Dave Attell?

Obviously he's one the list of the some of the best current, BUT he has a new special that either comes out tonight, or came out yesterday. Gotta check it out, but with Attell, it's gotta be uncut and uncensored.

He's one of those that is so much better live then in special form. And by miles.

Stanhope is a favorite of mine. Junior Stopka has been opening for him lately. Stopka is very good, too.

Agree, saw them both on the **** town tour a few months back. So good. Stanhope was just working stuff out and going to a handful of yellow pad notes, but did like 90 minutes, with at least 2 or 3 great premises (in addition to good ones).
