Standup comedy

[David.]

Anybody else into it? Vanessa has been taking a workshop and it's fun seeing the class go up and bomb, or do well, and see how their natural talents or deficiencies come into play and how they individually need to work on stuff to come up with a good set.

Lots of specials coming out bc they're so cheap to make.. most are bad. It's interesting that like, these people who are not good, can pack a theatre and have good responses and have somehow provided themselves enough financial stability to keep it going.

Sheng Weng is one that I really liked. Jacqueline novak is a particularly bad one I've seen recently. Even the bad ones are fun to watch. Why is it bad? Could the jokes be written differently or what's going on? How is this person successful? Etc etc

Saw Bobcat Goldthwait a few weeks ago. His style has evolved but he's just a funny guy, even when he gets away from his bits and just talks.

I have seen allot of comedy over the years, my best friend here in Phoenix is very, very into it, probably went to over 100 comedy shows in the last 4 or 5 years. I have been to about 20 of those with him.

Favorite comedian is Bill Burr, biggest legend i eve saw was George Carlin, not much to explain there, probably the GOAT (or Pryor)

And the biggest surprise was Russell Peters. I wasnt to into him before the show, but my friend's wife couldnt go so I went with him. Peters is huge internationally, but his live comedy was much. much better than I expected. I do see why he is so huge around the world and his crowd work was amazing.

Dave Attell is great, and one of the hardest "workers" in comedy for the last 20+ years.

Seeing Nate Bargatze in Orlando this weekend.

He’s very solid, saw him a few years back just before Covid. You’ll enjoy it for sure.

Saw Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer in Vegas this past weekend. Both funny although Segura is the better comedian/story teller. What was really cool is that they didn’t say who would be opening and then we got 10 mins each from Trevor Wallace, Bobby Lee, and Shane Gillis. Probably the best all around show I’ve been to.

Really good podcast guest.

He's coming this week and I think im gonna pass. Can only find 20 year old specials online and they're probably kinda dated but don't really do it for me

Really good podcast guest.

That's how I came across him. His podcast is great and great guest too. Where did you see him
