    Anyone here like stand up comedy?

    I've been getting really into stand up comedy lately. I love all forms of comedy but this is definitely my favorite. Fortunately, these days you can pretty much watch any comedian for free on Youtube or Netflix.

    My all time favorite comedian is Dave Chappelle. He's hilarious. Some of my other favorites are Louis CK, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, and Jerry Seinfeld. I actually just finishing watching this 1 hour special from John Mulaney and that dude is hilarious

    Who's your favorite stand up comedians?

    I actually saw Ron White a few weeks ago, that was hilarious

    I don't know if I could pick a certain favorite because I watch so much of it

    Bo Burnham, Eddie Izzard, and John Malueny are some of my favriotes. Dan Cummings, and Jim Gaffigan also have really good pieces. I have a pandora station devoted to Stand Up Comedy recordings. It's really nice because it plays tracks from people I've heard and new ones, so I can get a variety in my listening.

    Almost all the comedians on Chelsea Lately are my faves. Loni Love and Fortune Feimster especially are great--I've been wanting to see them for awhile.

    I haven't been able to keep up with it recently, but yes, I am a huge fan of stand up. So far, I have seen Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, and Brian Regan live. I even have an autograph from Gaffigan.

    My favorites tend to alternate, but Jim Gaffigan, Demitri Martin, and Steven Wright.

    I have always relied on stand up comedy to brighten up my day. I have even seen all what Netflix has to offer on the genre as well :grin: I have a top ten, not just one favorite comedian. Too many to chose from, haha.

    Aw, I can't forget the late Mitch Hedburg. Truly someone who was lost too soon, he died right before his career was about to take off.

    Try some of Ellen Degeneres' old stuff, it's pretty great :slight_smile:

    She's not my favorite, though. My favorite comedian, and my inspiration is Etta May! If you haven't heard of her you should look her up!

    I'm actually a tremendous stand up comedy buff. There are so many good comedians out there I will just list some of my current favorites: Louis CK (best active comedian alive), Dave Chappelle (best comedian alive), Ellen DeGenerous, Amy Schumer, Anothony Jeselnik, Daniel Tosh, Maria Bamford, Brian Pohsen, Ian Harvie, Aziz Ansari, Eugene Mirman, and so many, many, many more.
