Homegrove Marc Maron’s got a new special out today on HBO Max. From Bleak to Dark. The older I get the more

And that was fucking excellent. It being on HBO Max I guess UK folks might have a hard time finding it, unless it’s on Sky.

Jim Jefferies has also a new on Netflix today.

    Homegrove Only just discovered Jeffries so this is a great heads-up. Thanks.

    Proper funny fucker.

    Not Homegove, obv.

      Jim Jefferies is funny? Wow. This is a new low.

      Jeffries doesn’t have a very long shelf life imo, because of his style. I’d like to see some Bobby Lee standup, he’s a funny fucker on podcasts.

      Bobby Lee is gold but far too dry, perverse and diverse for your average obvious Jim Jefferies user (who isn’t funny at all imo)
      This is one of my favs

        Homegrove He posts great crowd work on his IG

        Big fan of Todd Barry, who I think is the master of crowd work…

          bosstrabs he’s been a long time favorite of mine. He’s got a Netlix-special, but needs another.

          Could be in the Netflix thread, since it was a ‘live event’… the Chris Rock special is aight. A bit too angry, bitter, and ranty, perhaps even sanctimonious. Kinda loses out on the laughs. And the Will Smith stuff was weak sauce too. Can’t really say it’s worth a watch.

          Forgot about this guy, very funny from what I remember

            i actually thought the new chris rock special was one of his funnier shows. laughed out loud on a couple times, especially in relation to the Kardashian’s

            In a review I read I heard Rock “destroyed” Will Smith. Is this true?

              LT42 Unless I missed something, it wasn’t very funny or clever. Just aired all the dirty laundry and was really aggressive. Got so worked up about it, kinda spoiled one of the jokes, had to correct himself mid sentence.

              Shouty comedians are generally one trick ponies and get very dull very quickly.

              New John Mulaney-special on Netflix April 25th. Should be interesting at least considering what all happened to him during the pandemic.

                Homegrove Life worked out for him, unadulterated honey for a wife and a cute asian baby to boot.

                Also massive relapse on his addictions, intervention with a bunch of great comedians, rehab, and leaving his wife for Olivia Munn. Also having a baby with her right away after being publicly childfree with the previous wife.

                  Off to see Stewart Lee this evening. He’s alright at that comedy lark.

                  We’ve been watching lots of Bill Burr and Chappelle lately, all new to the missus and she loves them. She went with Wanda Sykes latest last night and I shuddered but it was actually very funny.

                    LT42 Sykes is old school, and very good. This is free on Youtube and really good.

                    This is a pretty perfect bit on Will Smith, Jada, and the slap. Hilarious. Looking forward to his special.

                    A mate went to see Mickey Flanagan last night and said he was absolutely awful. Best days behind him and still selling out shows.

                      LT42 went to see him last week. Not sure I would agree he was awful but would agree he isn’t as funny as he used to be.

                      Everyone has an off night I suppose

                      He did fluff his lines a few times and there wasn’t much stand out like there has in previous outings.

                      Direct quote - “Jesus Flanagan is one boring man.”

                      The majority of the screenshots, at first, I thought, are just whatever. ordinary gibberish from neckbeards. The internet is an awful place, not to justify it. Then, that video from 14 years ago… terrible. After that, things only get worse.

                        Just back from Jim Jefferies in Helsinki. Very good, much better than his new special, though I liked that one too. While others here didn’t. All new material, except for one line in a joke.

                        The Marlon Wayans special might just be the best stand up I’ve seen all year. Was in tears, and it just doesn’t let up. Don’t watch the clip I’ve posted earlier in this thread, ruins it. All I’ll say is that the entire thing is cantered around the Oscar slap, and it doesn’t get tedious.

                          rhouses you watch the new Mulaney-special yet? He says on it’s he’s divorced and now problematic, but not why. 😀

                          The intervention and rehab-stories are hilarious though.
