Stand up Comedy

[Director Callahan]

I'm a massive stand up comedy fan (with some level of aspiration to write material and go to an open mic night one day) and while there's a whole bunch of stuff out there, I figure it might be a nice way to get some laughs going if we share some clips of our favourite comics and maybe discover some new people we're not familiar with.

Right now one of my favourites is a guy called Jim Norton who's famous for being the third mic on O&A and being in Lucky Louie that one time and while his stand-up is hit or miss at times, his presence on the O&A show is always excellent and as such I can give him a pass when some of his stand up bits don't quite kill. A lot of his stuff is pure filth though so don't check this out at work.



Alongside him, I like most of that clique of comedians such like Bill Burr, Rich Vos, Colin Quinn, the late and great legend that is Patrice O'Neal and of course Louis CK along with a lot of the major UK comics that are out there too. So post some clips you find funny and get the laughs going.

My favorite stand-up comedian is probably Taylor Williamson. I really liked him from his days on Last Comic Standing, and he was recently on America's Got Talent, as well.

Growing up I was big into stand up comedy, not so much now a days...I've always liked that long list of characters that Callahan rolled off..especially Rich Vos. We'll here's a segment from someone not listed...

Brian Regan - Stupid in School

[Phoenix Roost]

I watched a Brian Regan special on Netflix one day on a whim. I did not expect it to be good. His delivery is odd, but I liked it more than I expected to.

Here's a clip from my favorite comedian that isn't someone I think the whole fucking world already knows about (Lewis Black).

Lewis Black is my all-time favorite. But, like you said, I think everyone in the world knows how good he is.

I am one backwards ass son of a gun because I've heard of Iglesias and not of Lewis Black. This is some great stuff so far. Got some belly laughs out of the Joe Rogan bit on Brock Lesnar.

Noah, Taylor Williamson reminded me of this guy;

I know people are big on awkward comedy now a days but personally I'm not a fan. Sure their delivery is good, it's what people are laughing about. But I prefer good material...

Here's som Aziz Ansari:

My all time fav is Lea Evans very funny man worth a watch.

I've seen this guy live and he absolutely tore it down. Very popular in the UK and Ireland. If anyone is familiar with Bobby Moynihan's character "Drunk Uncle", it's fair to say he lifted it from Dylan.

Drunk Uncle is comedy gold.

My wife and I are huge SNL fans, and Bobby is one of my favorites. His character Anthony Crispino is also hilarious.

I said Lewis Black's name to complete the thought of "He is my favorite comedian, but I'm pretty sure everyone already knows who the fuck that is, so here's a clip of someone that I don't think everyone knows." What my post basically says is "I like Lewis Black a lot, but a lot of people like Lewis Black a lot, have a clip of somebody that isn't Lewis Black that you should like a lot, BLARGH" *spews embedded video at you*

My bad ...I read it wrong... Actually Fluffy is well known around the world ...He is the number 2 comedian in the middle east  right behind ...
