Confirmed jelly.

I find it hilarious when people walk out in the middle of his shows because they are offended... I mean they know exactly what they are getting into don't they?

Carr is hilarious.

Yeah, I love Carr, he's one of my absolute favorites. But in terms of being a great stand-up I can't put him up there with the great long form guys.

I love stewert Lee. But that makes me have something in common with JD. How do I proceed?

Sean lock is amazing too, but he tends to be better on panel shows than he does stand up.( still good watch though)

Carlin and Hicks are in the level of their own.

Russell Peters used to be somewhere up there too, although his recent shows have been ****.

Been watching a lot of standup lately so if anyone has any tips on good comedians I might not have seen they'd be much appreciated.
Met Russell Peters in LA. He is a genuine real ****. Told us to **** off when we wanted a picture after one of his shows. Got us kicked out of the bar he was in too.

Jimmy Carr is my fav. Great guy as well. He is eaxactly like he is on the show as well.

People like to laugh and there are some people out there who are really good at making us laugh, so good that we give them money to makes us laugh. What's the fuss?

zee is so hipster that he's past stand-up comedy

standup doesn't get you closer to the alpha being

only thing about Kitson is that his recent tours seem to be more funny shows than pure stand-up like he did in the early days. so been kind of disappointed after some of his latest tours.

i've got a download of a kitson show from hull, years ago, which is pretty faultless.

Paying for SUC is one of the optimal uses of money.
11-05-2014 , 12:14 PM
Me and my friends have had good experiences meeting Peters, but that's usually a crapshoot.

Going to Just for Laughs tonight, headliner is Demetri Martin.

there laughable premise that you can't get your comedy in forms thats not some dude talking holding a microphone in a dingy smelly part of town and that u simply must pay for it when literally the same content is freely available on youtube.

Demetri Martin is awesome

I've been to most of his shows. He's really anti-TV so it's hard to find much of him online. What makes him so special is just how ahead of the curve he's kept himself, it's funny to listen to see a show he did 10 years and spot how his comedy has percolated into other comedians' acts and even the general consciousness.

That said, Zee is right about standup, it's not a particularly great medium. No other artform has such a huge dropoff between the top, top guys and the merely good. I mean, Kitson and C.K are the only two who are worth seeing, every one else may be entertaining, clever or interesting, but they just are not funny.

Wenger must think that Cazorla's outswinger has a greater ev than Gibbs inswinger when you also add the opponents counter attacking equity.
