Bill Burr is the greatest stand up comedian walking the planet today, and I will bump this thread in two years when we are all treating him like Louis CK is being treated now.
burr’s mm podcasts are hilarious (plus, he’s on breaking bad!), on the other hand louis ck is undoubtedly a genius - the best of today’s generation
My favorites are Dave Chapelle and Dane Cook.
Cook’s movies suck but I love his standup.
Russell Peter’s “Be a Man” sketch was good. That was the one that made him, but everything else after that has been so-so in my opinion…
Agree that Russel Peters wouldn’t get away with his act if he was white .
Dane Cook in my opinion is abysmal . Can respect others taste but in my mind he is a hack and also a confirmed joke thief .
At the moment I feel the hottest guys in the game are Bill Burr ,Louis CK, Doug Stanhope ,Hanibal Burress and Jim Jefferies .
Here’s a place for some great stand up routines.
Simon Evans
Stewart Francis does it for me.
Sir Rowan:
Michael McIntyre is far and away my favourite. He’s just hilarious.
Bill Hicks was something else.
Not quite, but yeah
Frankie Boyle.
You may require subtitles if you are not familiar with the accent.
Bill Burr can be okay. I like him riffing more than I do his actual jokes.
There are a lot of stand up sets on Netflix. I haven’t really been through most of them but I really dig some of them.
Ricky Gervais’ Humanity is great (I always like his specials)
John Mulaney’s Comeback Kid (his new one is alright too, but I don’t think his best stuff is on Netflix)
Dave Chapelle has 4 different specials and they’re all great.
Ali Wong is okay, but I find some of her punchlines too predictable. Her shtick is funny.
Patton Oswalt’s Annihilation is a must-watch as far as I’m concerned. The last 20 minutes kills me every time.
Kevin James is boring.
Judd Apatow really made me laugh. Some very interesting stories too. Not top of my list though.
Louis CK pulls his dick out and jacks off in front of unsuspecting women, so fuck that guy.
Neal Brennan was very funny but also quite moving. Very different to your typical comedy special.
Sarah Silverman was fine, there are a few good laughs but it didn’t change my life either.
Anthony Jeselnik is very funny. Not the kind of comedy you should watch with your grandmother though.
Jim Jefferies’ Freedumb is good for a laugh but a lot of his best stuff is found elsewhere.
I think Bo Burnham’s special is another ‘must-watch.’ He’s hilarious.
