Just watched this last last night. I thought she was great, quite insightful. Really weird outfit though. Really.
It ties into her ethos, mebelieves.
no doubt. She has a six pack. Fierce for sure.
Yeah, he drinks a fair bit. Talks about being into hard drugs too. He seems to not do them anymore but his cavalier attitude about it also makes you wonder. Could be just for laughs⌠may not be. I am also slightly annoyed by how much he puts on the accent. You can catch him in conversation where he uses his regular speaking voice. He does have a thick Australian accent but not THAT thick. Otherwise, I like him enough.
Iliza Shlesingerâs been around for a minute. She has 3 - maybe 4(?) - specials on Netflix, if you search her name.
Ya, binged her right on back after Millennial. Thatâs why I am surprised sheâs stayed off my radar for so long. Between her, Hannah Gadsby, The Handmaids and those women in orange, (not to mention that clown in orange), Iâm starting to think white guys are pretty much shite.
Gervais pounds pints on stage, Chapelle vapes, and well, Dean Martin and Foster BrooksâŚtradition. Donât see why this would irk you off his message. Is it that the message is critical of America and your ears donât enjoy furrin accents making such comments? Sincerely asking, cuz there are plenty of red, white and blue ears out there that are quite offended by critique from without.
I think it was Entourage that ruined it for everyone.
Iliza was on the Kevin & Bean show in LA last Thursday, if youâre interested. 9 minutes.
No. I think it shows a lack of professionalism, which granted may be exacerbated by the fact as gaboman says, that he might be using the drinking to prop up his drinking drugging stories. Either wayâŚmeh. I think my brain thinks heâs being disingenuous. My gut says heâs probably a jerk irl. Dave vapes, but what does he vape? I recall Robin Williamsâ cocaine fueld HBO special in the 1980s. WowâŚwhat a mess that guy wasâŚbut funnnnnnny.
As for offending my nationalistic sensibilities, I guess you are talking about his gun rant? AgainâŚmeh. Bill Burrâs take on guns in America is far funnier, which is the point of stand up, yeah? So, before I overthink this, JJ goes for shock humor, calling his kid a c8nt for effect for example. Itâs low hanging fruit.
I was watching a talky news show on TYT the other day and one of the heads was saying a female comedian had decided to not tell any more jokes. And that was her showâŚjust spouting off a la John Stewart in the day. I like my news to be newsy and my stand up to funny. Iâm funny that way. Same reason I give Sam Bâs show a wide pass no matter how many times her commercial says sheâs the funniest thing on TV. Not while Wicked Tuna lives, sheâs not.
That said, I am willing to give Michelle Wolf a go for the sake of fairness to the art form. The dust from the Correspondantâs Dinner has settled. lol
In Jim Jefferies case, it doesnât help that the Australian accent is the result of generations of alcohol abuse. Ricky Gervais does indeed tend to have a Fosters (gross) tallboy on stage but he doesnât seem half as inebriated.
I really liked Jim Jefferiesâ gun bit. And his follow ups. And his talk show in general. Usually makes me laugh. But, yeah, I was going to mention him calling his son a c*nt. I donât care, per se, but itâs not something that Iâm going to laugh at. His new special on Netflix was just okay, although I do feel the story he tells at the end tipped it over the edge of being what Iâd call âgreatâ. Really made me laugh.
Iâm just listening to a Bill Burr bit on gun control. I donât know if itâs the one youâre talking about, but itâs not doing much for me. Heâs making okay points, just not funny. Donât think heâs trying, though. He seems to have a lot of them, though, so I doubt itâs the same one. I just find him okay, but I typically donât like angry comedy (with a few exceptions).
Been watching a lot of 8 out of 10 Cats recently (as well as its âDoes Countdownâ sibling show). Not sure why I started, just randomly stumbled across its existence on the webs.
Jimmy Carr is great on both shows which made me tune in to his Netflix special. Entertaining, but not super. I like one liners mixed in with longer stories, of which there really isnât any in his set.
Anyone here like Stewart Lee?
Looks like Michelle Wolfâs Netflix gig has been cancelled, due to low viewership numbers. (thatâs a FOX news link for those of you who are allergic)
Along with a show featuring Joel McHale, whoever that is.
Edgy stand-up comedy - on a schedule - may be the hardest line to walk in Western entertainment.
guess her jokes at WH Correspondentsâ Dinner flushed half of her potential audience down the toilet.
There are only American comedians? It should be put in the header.
Spoke too soon. Sheâs been cancelled.
Hereâs one. Actually, Iâm not a fan except for his Ben Carson impersonation. Hadnât seen thisâBen Carson gains a few points in my estimation for having the fortitude to participate here
Iâm a âmanâ with limited tastes. Best of the best (brilliant separately, but when combined together even better). Norm MacDonald and Dennis Miller.
Looks like Louis CK is trying to make a comeback
The worst, Tim Minchin.
I would crawl across two miles of broken glass just to punch this man in the face. That said, middle aged housewives seem to love him.
