Watch any good stand-up’s lately?

Post by ParaDime77 »

Going through a bunch of the Netflix catalog and stand up comedians lately. Thought the Heather and McMahan stand up was pretty good. Watch the new Taylor Tomlinson the other night and it was a bit let down as she sounded like IIiza Schlesinger verbatim.

Taste in comedy is subjective. I like some of Anthony Jeselnik’s specials.

Deon Cole! I was actually at the filming for Charlene’s Boy. My girlfriend and I are in it a couple times. Pretty easy to spot. We were pretty much the only white couple there! :)

Chris Porter

Iliza and Taylor as already mentioned.

Sebastian of course.

cristela alonzo (watch the first one and then the second one. Her jokes about her new teeth are charming).

Not a special but Pauly Shore Stick with the Dancing is his life’s work. Hope he gets it on film as some point.

Brad Williams is hilarious
Missed out seeing him at comedy club near the beach. Wasn’t going to DTLA at Ace Hotel to see him

Not sure what would be more entertaining seeing him up close or last row in balcony
Up top might be choice probably could not see him
Not sure how he got famous..big fan 😆

It is awesome Brad has career going places and Earl Skakel still “closing “ nights at Comedy Store at 2am when the other 19 comics are done

My experience: For most of the stand-ups on Netflix, I find the first 1 or 2 specials pretty good (Ali Wong, Illiza, Taylor, Ricky G, Chappelle), and then less funny with their 3rd or 4th. It's probably me; knowing what to expect doesn't have the same impact.

I'm a big Gervais fan, beginning with The Office and everything that follows, but I could barely hang for the hour in his last stand-up.

I enjoyed Orny Adams’ YouTube stand up show

Sebastian still cracks me up. The Italian humor is so great I can relate to it with my family!

Watched Shane Gillis host SNL. Painfully awkward and unfunny monologue. Did ok in the sketches...

I know stand-up is subjective but for my money? Nick DiPaolo-always slays. Dennis MIller. Dana Gould.

The two Louis CK specials after his cumback were hilarious. The last one was not as good but still better than 90% of the trash on Netflix. Bill Burr has lost it.

I like Nate Bargatze. Funniest clean guy I have seen recently.
Jimmy Carr is always good.
I really liked Jeselnik when he was new. I still do, but the formula gets old fast.
Jim Jefferies is ok. Used to be gret.
I liked Tom Segura early specials, but he's terrible now.
