fwiw i hate 98% of stand-up at a conservative estimate so this is genuinely high praise

Just watched the RH Netflix feature last night. I laughed and smiled through about 90% of it.

Hope everyone's having a great 2014
My gf and I listened to this set (from Joe Zimmerman's recent album "Smiling at Wolves") yesterday and were both laughing to the point of can't-even-talk-, stomach cramps etc. He's done tight fives on a few of the late shows, but these bits have only 200-300 views each.

I'd never seen any of his standup before tbh, only knew him from American Splendor and 30 Rock

saw him at the village underground earlier this year, i'm interested to see the special to see if any clips from that show made it

he was funny, but his schtick grated over the course of an hour
everything is from January and May at the Comedy Cellar, I think?

and it's all just him riffing with the audience re: geography and politics

watched the latest Seinfeld thing (the wife wanted to). Really odd how lazy it is, just this kind of nostalgic self-hagiography and a bunch of (mostly?) old jokes. I still laughed a couple times cuz he does know how to work his material but it felt like a really strange thing for him to do, like, why bother.

I thought there had been some discussion of it around here, must've been on some other thread tho?
