I love stand-up. Throughout my life I have become interested in hundreds of things, and eventually moved on from one thing to another. Stand-up comedy has been one of the few thing that have really stuck with me. This thread is to talk about our favorite comics, discuss the art of comedy, and if you are a comic, feel free to talk about your experiences, trials, and tribulations. This is a thread to discuss comedians, but please don't just post a bunch of names and a joke or two. Put some effort in. ALSO! I'd like to use the second post as sort of a NMD location for upcoming specials, albums, shows, etc. So if you have news about such things, post it and I will try my best to keep it up to date.

It doesn't matter if it's good for comedy or bad for comedy or whatever. If a comic doesn't want to have their poo poo recorded, and askes someone not to do it, you act like a polite adult and respect that.

I don't know that Gervaise is revered in America. He hosted the Golden Globes a few times and was "shocking", but it's not like he's known for his stand -up.

The hair metal analogy is stupid because weird alternative comedy has been around forever and will always be around as long as there are people with a weird sense of humor.

Yeah PFT's was recorded in October. Seems like it's gonna be a good year for specials. Chris Hardwick did his earlier this year, Garfunkle and Oates just did theirs, and apparently Kumail Nanjiani (who is awesome and yall should check him out) is prepping his hour. And TJ Miller's Mash-Up is filming now.

PFT has probably become less of a character the more he's done comedy. Check out his first CC half hour to see him in full on pompous fancy mode.

So I went on a little bit of a comedy album buying spree. I bought both of Jonah Ray's EPs, Matt Braunger's Soak Up The Night, Jimmy Pardo's Pompous Clown, John Mulaney's The Top Part, and Pete Holmes' Impregnated With Wonder. They are all good, but John Mulaney's and Pete Holmes' are so funny it's crazy. Anyone got some more suggestions.

A similar thing happened to me at the Doug Benson show I went to. Brendon Walsh came up first and KILLED, and then Doug came out, read from his loving twitter feed longer than he did any material, did a half assed LMG, and that was it. Really disappointing, as LA dudes don't seem to make it out here very often.

DerbyTime!!! posted:I went to an open mic tonight and it was free and very fun. Go to open mics and support people, basically everything about it is great. Oh yeah, this reminds me. I went to an open mic a couple weeks ago, and did my first 5 minutes! It was terrifying and I was so nervous that I completely forgot a chunk, but I'm definitely going to do it again.

DannoMack posted:Let's share stories of our first open mic experiences instead of rapetalk! -I set myself a goal to do my first open mic before my birthday, and managed to get in on the very last one I could. -I only told my best friend to come because I knew he wouldn't bullshit me about how I did. -I sat in my car outside for half an hour before and almost bailed because I was convinced all my jokes were terrible. -As the guy before me was finishing up, my heart started beating so fast that I thought I was having a heart attack. -I couldn't hear anyone laughing, but after listening to my recording of it, I got a few laughs. It probably helped that most of the people before me were terrible. In other news, Matt Braunger's stand-up special is on CC tonight at 11. Matt Braunger is part of a crew of guys who came up in Chicago who are pretty much all great, including TJ Miller, Kyle Kinane, Hannibal Burress, Kumail Nanjiani, Pete Holmes, etc. and is hilarious. Y'all should check it out.

DangerDummy! posted:I asked this in the Netflix thread, but I want to get the point of view of the stand-up fans. I agree that the part dealing with actual hecklers at a show was pretty decent, but the rest was terrible. The only time I was on his side for the rest was when he was talking to the internet critic, and only because that guy was an even bigger rear end in a top hat. Also the part where Uwe Boll proves his movies are good by beating people up was a real eye opener.

I feel like I should just listen to the album, as the only material I've heard was on PYHT and I wasn't a fan. I guess I shouldn't judge her based on that alone.

So I listened to Cameron Esposito's album, and it's pretty good. Basically all my criticisms of her PYHT work were addressed, and the itunes comments are totally overblown. 7.5/10, would listen again.

He successfully used social media before most other comics and grew his audience through that Also his first album was good, for the time at least, I don’t think I’ve heard it in a decade.
