OT: Hornets Comedy Escape Thread
We've had a few discussions about standup comedians in the past and with how depressing this team has made this place lately I thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread to some of our favourite standup.
This one has been played a lot recently as people get sick of political correctness. Which is sort of funny in itself as its years old.
This is an old one of Steve Hughes as well, his take on gays is bloody hilarious.
Steve Hughes was actually a drummer in a death metal band before doing standup, he's a fricking genious with a lot of very intelligent opinions mixed into his comedy.
Recently been getting in to Brian Regan, after hearing Bill Burr compliment him on his aggressive style while staying clean.
And of course anything Bill Burr I love
He will give anything a shot, who else could get away with picking on a blind person like this? But he goes there, turns it on himself and I can't help but laugh. He does it so naturally as well.

Seinfeld said his Mt Rushmore of Stand up is Richard Prior, Bill Cosby, George Carlin and Don Rickles
Some good Carlin

I didn't put him on my Mt Rushmore, but Zach is personally my favorite comedian (or at least tied with a couple others). Live at the Purple Onion might be my favorite standup special as well.

Something about good comedians who unreasonably get angry or shout crack me up. Would hate to be the target at one of his gigs.

by his own admission Sam Simmons is an unusual flavour of comedy, he's not for everyone

RIP to one of the all time greats, he could insult absolutely anybody. Apparently the only person who could insult Frank Sinatra and he would laugh.

My Goat is Patrice O'Neal. He has his gift to make unfunny things funny. His death sucked
