Going to see Stephen Lynch on Friday. Super excited although I haven't heard any of his new stuff. If you have time look up Stephen Lynch Superhero on YouTube. Language warning.

Pablo Francisco is the least funny person i've ever come across that qualifies as a comedian.

He lumps into that ****-tier of comedy with me. Like a 2nd rate actor from Mad TV or something.

I'm not a fan of Rob Delaney *

*and I base that solely on his Twitter account. Literally none of it is funny.

It was a great show. I've seen him a couple times and what really makes his show is how he interacts with the people on tour with him and te improve type things that happen during the show. The songs are very good but he has some kind of charisma and wit that really comes through live. Very good show.

Kyle Kinane in Cleveland was incredible. Front row center, we were at the first show. Gave him a gift we had pertaining to one of his jokes, and he loved it, was laughing like crazy. Got to hang out with him and the other comedians after the show, have some drinks. He found out we drove in all the way from Harrisburg and was amazed, so he offered us free tickets for the 2nd show that night. Of course we accepted, you don't say no to Kyle Kinane. The other comedians also found out we were staying for the 2nd show, so they totally changed their sets, and so did Kyle. Got some shout outs during the show, and it was far and away the funniest show I've ever been to. Hung out again after that show, Kyle really is socially awkward like he says he is. Definitely saw that having to deal with the bachelorette parties. Shook hands and left.

Then we looked yesterday and he Tweeted about us, which was just the icing on the cake. Support this guy, he's the man.

Thank you. I wish I could block retweets from him.

Not a live stand up thing, but I watched Mike Birbiglia's newest special on netflix, and I thought it was fantastic.

Saw him in Baltimore and he was really good. Carmen Esposito opened and had a guy thrown out for being waaaaay to hammered. Jeselnik came on and talked about how he was excited his cousin could come to the show but that Carmen had him thrown out. Not a bad show for winning tix on the radio, especially because I hadn't heard much about him before the show.

Watched the new Jim Jefferies special. BARE. It is terrible, disgusting, out of line, and absolutely hilarious.

Yeah its interesting watching him with the fiancee. He really plays with her line of offended and laughing. That was a great special. We were watching tom papa's most recent speciL last night. Also, if anyone doesnt know tom segura, he has one on netflix which is pretty excellent. He is one of my favorites and i almost just rewatched that one last night.

Lewis Black is your favorite comedian of all time? I mean, your preferences are your preferences but I've never found him to be anything more than average. Then again I like Gaffigan so....

I watched Bil Burr: I'm sorry you feel that way" on netflix Saturday after seeing ID40 recommend it some time ago. Holy hell was that good. Usually if I'm watching something by myself, I don't actually laugh out loud, but I did during a good chuck of that 90 minutes. Probably either going to watch it again today or some of the other specials he has on there.

I saw Kevin Hart last night at Heinz Hall. Great show. 3 opening acts were really good too.

I'm surprised he stopped filming a movie long enough to do a set.

I'm pretty sure that he has not stopped doing stand up at any point.
