Stand Up comedy

Some line up on that Bill Burr presents Friends Who Kill that’s on Netflix today. He closes it, with Dave Attell, Michelle Wolf, Jessica Kirson and Jimmy Carr going before him. And a few others. Just shame that with a running time of 70 minutes they each get about 10 minutes. Burr has already shot a full special, he just is not ready to lose the material yet because he’s got a full touring special. Kudos for him not being like Jimmy Carr. Saw him a week after his first Netflix-special. And he did nothing but that. Usually comedians are expected to retire the material once the special is out.

Homegrove This was the first “collective” special that I really enjoyed. Felt Ronnie Chieng was wasted but otherwise loved all the sets. Steph Tolev was insane and hilarious, and I loved that Michelle Wolf played it like a female version of Burr, going at white women mercilessly. The token black guy was great as well.

Homegrove The one time I saw Dave Chappelle in 2002, he did a few original bits about Orange County (where my college was) at the start, but most of it was Killing Them Softly, which released in 2000.

Saw him once. He was hilarious. Seems like one of those guys who knows how to work a room. Not sure how well that translates to television.

Had an old roomie who worked at Cobbs, the biggest comedy club in SF. She used to get us in all the time and I saw pretty much all the big acts for a while there. Most unexpectedly hilarious comedian? Sinbad. That dude was incredible.

That Bill Burr Netflix is a Joke-special was just bad all around. Burr’s disease blankets, and Michelle Wolf’s white women twerking were the only things I really laughed at. Even Dave Attel was not funny.

benson yeah same here, Bens. I actually fell asleep. I’m starting to tire of the comedic style where they just rant about political stuff and such and dress it up as comedy. I’ve been watching a lot of Steven Wright lately to get away from that. Just witty jokes. Back to basics.

The Pete Davidson Collective show was surprisingly good. Tight sets from mostly everyone on that bill.

As much as I hate to say it, the first 15 mins of the Bob Saget memorial show was a train wreck. Things get a bit awkward when Jeff Ross says “boy he loved his cocaine”. lol. Couldn’t go any further, it was painful.

Niiice. Looking forward to that.

The Jon Stewart Mark Twain award show is up on YouTube, funny and poignant. Like that Chappelle talked about how he was the only credible news source post-911 and during the Iraq War, reminded me that I only watched the daily show for news during my college days in the states.

I gave Jin Breuer a chance and he’s an utter wanker.
Comedy for people who were crocs.

Thank fuck Bill Burr can still deliver. Live at the Red Rocks was great. I was worried when I read that topics were cancel culture, wokeness and feminism, but instead of bitching that it’s not the old days anymore he was actually making good points.

Nick Mullins is by far my fav comic going. I am so happy he is back on the road.
