Rewatched a couple Tiffany Hadish standups last night. I lol’d a lot.
Stand Up comedy
Big fan of James Acaster, saw him in a comedy club in London in 2016 before he was well-known
Kevin Bridges is the best out there imo
bosstrabs me too, funny bugger. Saw him in the little room at the Glee in Birmingham doing one of his Edinburgh shows Recognise…probably around that time too. Me and my other half have somewhat differing comedy tastes and she was pretty stony faced throughout. Saw him in the pub beforehand but didn’t say hello.
New Nate Bargatze is quite good on Netflix. As far as clean comics go he’s probably my favorite.
Also on other stand up-news Jim Jefferies announced his retirement from stand up on his podcast. He’s going to do the tour he’s contracted to do, after you can do stand up in theatres again, so when he comes to London next time you’ll know it’s his last time.
At first I was a bit sad, but his reasoning is actually solid. “I’ve done 8 specials, and I think I’m starting to repeat myself. And covid made me realize I like being at home and not touring.” His last special was shit anyway.
Surprisingly, Jim Gaffigan’s 2021 special is spot on. The missus played it randomly and I found myself laughing quite a lot.
Louis CK’s latest, Sorry, is standard Louis, in the sense he opens the thing dedicating the first 15 mins to pedophilia. It’s a bit meh, but I enjoyed the covid material. Found the previous come back one better. His website has a package for all his specials for about $25.
Brian Simpson on Netflix’s new season of Stand Ups is a very good half an hour.
Doug Stanhope but a new hour + for free on Youtube.
Homegrove he is playing in leeds next month and was considering going. not sure if the wife would enjoy it though
Shite
What do I think when H recommends comedy?
S to the werve big time!
Smallman1 H knows his comedy
Me thinks not.
He hasn’t posted a single clip from Only Fools & Horses for starters.
Along_the_Wire have you watched the clip?
Millsy I haven’t to be fair.
He got me into Bill Burr
I’ve not yet either, but Standhope used to be great, not sure of his current state. The one after this clip was great too.
