Rolling Stand-Up Comedy 2018

re: Lee

I thought Content Provider was the weakest set he's done, as masterly as the opening Leave voters gag (and its reprise) is. I know it's his trademark now, and the repetitive nature of it is an acknowledged part of the joke, but the meta audience material has really run its course

Yeah agreed. I saw it live and the Turkish psych music at the break was the highlight.

I wanna rep the virtually unknown Joe Zimmerman again. He's in my top 5. If you like kinda benign absurdist comedy plz check it out

from the excellent album "smiling at wolves"

Possibly offensive to some palates, but I thought Burt Kreischer's special was funny.

is it good poly

netflix is so shit with stand up, the 15 min specials are cack - dude who is good these days

all fucking blaise

Really because the preview made it look like the absolute most unappealing comedy special I've ever seen

any natasha leggero fans

read an interview with her and she is funny as fuck, show on comedy central - stand up special-netflix as well

heard her first two albums, seen her a couple of times, and caught one of the last "warm-up" shows of onstage relationship advice that she and Moshe did before taping the same as part of their 3-episode Netflix special. It went way better than the taped version.

her story on Maron of going to australia is fascinating

hated the netflix special of hers that I watched 15 minutes of, flubbed deliveries etc.

if yr act doesn't make me laugh within the first few minutes then it's game over imo

She is delightful (as is Moshe)

One time I saw Moshe at a comedy club and got sat at a table with some druuunk hicks, who were saying some foul anti-Semitic and homophobic shit. My great regret is that he didn't hear them.

generally like her in the stuff I've seen her in (Another Period, Let's Be Cops, that Netflix special) though none of her stuff has knocked it out of the park for me

^xp also saw Moshe last year at an all-Jewish variety show at Canter's Deli (with a giant buffet table piled w/ free nosh for audience)

onstage relationship advice ... went way better than the taped version.

btw for those who haven't seen it, they brought ppl out of the crowd to interrogate and solve issues for, it wasn't a rehearsed piece. watching the released version, I thought a Netflix version would have done better to make a series out of the best examples from the tour, rather than rely on one night's sample being the finale to a special.

Is this where we talk about Brody Stevens, cause fuck that news hit me hard. His whole schtick was relentless positivity and for him to go out the way he did is tragic

obituary thread too

but Brody’s relentless positivity was always, always obviously self-medicating for mental health issues

(and apparently his meds ran out after an insurance hiccup, 😔😣😖 America)

always

ie no less tragic, just fractionally less surprising

Yeah, that was clear and was a major undercurrent of his HBO show. But it felt like he’d figured something out

Man, ppl really don't like landlords huh
