Someone like Louis CK, for example, is observational, but he opens up himself in the conversation so that it's *event* -- *what "normal people" see * -- *What my dysfunctional mind thinks* -- *how I irrationally act*


I'd add that this guy takes 4-5 minutes to get to his punchline.

It's not really a comedy show per se but the Joe Rogan podcast is good to listen to and he has comedians on all the time. Also Burr, Gafigan and Tod Barry.

Yeah, I misread the thread title. I thought it was" Comedians...who is on crack?", hence my list.

Haha, All of them are hilarious. Robin was just different breed as the show went on.

I have always loved Chappelle but I got the chance to see him 2 years ago and the luster was gone, but I think he was just working on new material (during the time he started his comeback and was getting booed)

Kat Williams was fire a few years back then shyt got weird..

Currently
Aziz, Hannibal, Louis CK (his Saturday night monologue was disturbingly funny)

People I like to watch
that Ryan Davis dude on Facebook is pretty funny to me

Just go on youtube and listen to the Opie and Anthony Show. Comedic gold!

Patrice O'Neal was hilarious and so real. All his comedy had some type of wisdom to it. He was ahead of his time. RIP.
Jim Norton is hilarious on the O&A show.
Bill Burr is my favorite.
Louis CK is also very blunt and honest which I love.
Tom Segura is very underrated as well.

Def check them out on the show together.

Tough Crowd is still the greatest show for comedians ever imo and that whole clique was heavy on O&A. I still go back and listen to the highlights from O&A from time to time. Bobby Lee was low key hysterical too with his manic energy. Speaking of that clique, Colin Quinn has a few history based stand-up/one man shows that are epic right now too.

Colin Quinn and Dave Attell are OG comedians that still kill and are easy enough to see live if you look these days. Easier and cheaper to see than the Burrs and CK's of the world at least.

Upping this thread mainly because Dave Chappelle's stand up specials for Netflix drop today.

Also, I gave Amy Schumer's new special a spin. I didn't think it was one star bad, but it felt really hacky to me. She got a few laughs from me as it wore on, but nothing about it made me think I have to watch her next one. She had a spark when she started but idk, wasn't feeling this one. I will say, I can see her having an audience that loves this ish but it was "meh" to me.

Jerrod Carmichael's HBO stand up special though >>>>>>> that one is good. He does a bit of the Bill Burr thing where he makes an observation that sounds insane and then explains his logic and perspective in a way where you start to see where he's coming from whether you agree or not.

The less I say about Amy Schumer, the better. If you're going to steal jokes on a Mencia level they should at least be funny. She's making money off of it though so good for her. Dave definitely still has it. The first of the 2 specials feels like a warmup for the 2nd one which is more LOL funny throughout. It's just nice to see him doing his thing again. I'm ready to see what Chris Rock has up his sleeve this year too. Jerrod is definitely funny and his new special is great. He's one to watch for sure.

Chappelle is by far the best I have ever seen. I am also a big fan of Louis, but I am not comfortable recommending him to everyone. I love that famous Russel Peters stand up, I think most are familiar with his work. Out of less popular ones, I really like Mark Normand.

Are you watching the History of Comedy on CNN?


I hope that series becomes available online at some point, but in the mean time, I found this:
