Dean Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I love comedy. My favourite comedians are probably Ross Noble, Sam Simmons, Jimmy Carr and Tim Minchin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solace Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Obligatory Louis CK: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah Louis CK is probably the most popular comedian right now, and for good reason. He deserves everything that has come his way. His TV show is fucking great. I think another comedian that is really great at the moment is Bill Burr. His new special is pretty funny.

shane Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Seeing Bill Burr on Breaking Bad is awesome lol. Louie CK is great too. I also really like Jim Gaffigan one of my favorite Louie bits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejFDw4yz56o#ws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I remember them saying something on the podcast about how he was commenting about his shirt in that episode. He was all "Hey guys look at me, I'm a fucking cowboy!" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was all "Hey guys look at me, I'm a fucking cowboy!" lol lmao, i said that in my mind in his voice. have you heard his Monday Morning podcast? it's funny. and tReerAT, good list. Greg Giraldo is overlooked i think... too bad the bastard had to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 CHRIS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Him and CK are very close friends actually. Great watch, but I feel Gervais is out of place there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVBFwY4na7E#ws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great watch, but I feel Gervais is out of place there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVBFwY4na7E#ws this is an amazing video, definitely check it out. So amped to see Louie this fall, be my second time seeing him live. It was a painful experience because it was the most hardest and longest I've ever laughed. I remember them saying something on the podcast about how he was commenting about his shirt in that episode. He was all "Hey guys look at me, I'm a fucking cowboy!" lol lmao, i said that in my mind in his voice. have you heard his Monday Morning podcast? it's funny. and tReerAT, good list. Greg Giraldo is overlooked i think... too bad the bastard had to die. Thanks man, I really really love good stand up, always wanted to try it out, but I am pants shittingly afraid of being up on stage. And it really is a shame Greg died, he was probably the best part of any old CC Roast and his other stuff is mint as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Honestly, if you want to try stand up... you just have to do it. Don't over think it the first time. I've been doing it for about two months now and love it. I'm not good at all, but I love making strangers laugh and trying to write funny material.

tReerAT Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 how do you deal with that, like the reality that maybe you aren't that funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 how do you deal with that, like the reality that maybe you aren't that funny? You just keep at it. It took Louis CK almost twenty years before he caught on. For most of his career he was doing the same set. Watch his old YouTube clips.. you'll see. You're gonna suck shit when you first start, unless you're just a fucking natural like Seinfeld. I'm absolutely horrible, but it's something I enjoy doing and even if I can get a chuckle out of an audience I feel like I'm going somewhere. Don't be afraid of bombing... it's going to happen, it's inevitable. Just get in the mindset of learning from those mistakes and improving on your material.

Pussay Patrol Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Tim Minchin, Robin Williams and Carl Barron are my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Frank Skinner, Lee Evans, Micky Flanagan, Sean Lock, Michael McIntyre, Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert. This one is still one of my faves ever, so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 So many you guys forgot or just didn't mention. David Cross Patton Oswalt Louie C.K. Dave Chappelle Maria Bamford Brian Posehn Michael Ian Black Dave Attell Mitch Hedberg Norm MacDonald Zach Galifinakis Jim Gaffigan Paul F. Tompkins Patriece O'Neil Aziz Ansari Todd Barry Eugene Mirman Demetri Martin Janeane Garafolo Ray Ramano Andy Kaufman Garry Shandling Lewis Black Emo Phillips Jim Breuer Also, the lack of Bill Hicks, Richard Pryer, Rodney Dangerfield, Steven Wright, Denis Leary, Steve Martin, and George Carlin in this thread is disturbing.

I usually write out my thoughts. I try to remember certain keywords or phrases on stage. I always have a plan for what I want to say before I go up, but it's never written out word for word.
