My group got to the improv early enough to almost get seated on the stage. I hurriedly said can we sit back a few rows? Im very glad I did.

They do this every time. They try to put everyone up by the stage hoping that it is someone who is new or doesn't know any better and just accepts where they are seated.

I've been listening to John Mulaney through most of today so far. Good stuff.

Yeah, Mulaney is one of the better recent comics IMO. I also like Pete Holmes, both his stand-up and his nerdist podcast. In fact I recommend checking out the Mulaney episode, it's pretty solid (he has mostly comedians on).

Rob Delaney: Live at the Bowery Ballroom was just added to netflix instant. He's hilarious on twitter and his standup was pretty great as well.

I followed him on twitter for a while before hearing any of his stuff.

from what i gather, pete holmes is a 6 year old with brain damage and severe ADHD.

I find it endearing, but can see why someone wouldn't.

Doug stanhope: a total failure on the man show, awesome in stand up.

I drove from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and then to San Diego a few years ago. I took back roads the whole time. My rental car had XM and I listened to the comedy stations pretty much the whole time. Bob Newhart is one funny dude when it comes to stand up.

Steven Wright might be my favorite.

You obviously like really unsubtle comics.

I enjoy stand up comedy alot. My favorite right now is Russell Peters. By far IMHO the best the last 5-10 years

This guy is a trainwreck. I hated him on Best Week Ever and any of those other VHS specials. He was on Jesilnek's show a month or so ago and broke out laughing like a toddler every time he said something, or someone said something to him. You'd think it was his first time in front of an audience.

Sounds about right. It's concerning that he's popular.

There is a comedy tour with Dave Chappelle coming to first Niagara pavilion august 30. Tickets go on sale this weekend. I might buy some

Dan Cummins is not funny at all. He should get a bat to the back of his head once for every time he has said "that joke is called".

eddysnake · Post by **eddysnake** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:45 am

watched L CK Oh My God over the weekend, thought it was good. Also watched Chappelles killing them softly which is always hilarious.

This needs to be stated and re-stated a million times; Kyle Kinane is simply amazing. Seriously. Youtube "God of Thunder" by him, and just sit back.

Idoit40fans · Post by **Idoit40fans** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:50 am

Yeah, I never heard Kyle Kinane until a couple weeks ago. Pretty awesome.

If you've got the $, just get his two albums. I just love his delivery...he can essentially take one thought he's had and just stretch it for ten minutes, hilariously.

Where we're going, we don't need $.

i've been championing him for a couple years now. He and John Mulaney are probably my 2 favorite comedians at the moment.

God of thunder is the pancakes on a plane bit, right?
