Saw Patton Oswalt in KC last weekend - He was very good but particularly good with crowd work

Patton Oswalt's bit on Denny's KILLS me.

Nate Bergatzi (sp?) is probably the only comedian I’ve seen on streaming in recent history that I’ve truly enjoyed (other than Chapelle).

You would prob like Jim Jeffries. He is my favorite. I'm a big fan of Anthony Jeselnek as well. Both have great Netflix specials. Jeselnek is pretty dark so it may not be your thing.

I don't remember the last traditional standup special I enjoyed. A couple non-conventional specials I've liked:

Carmen Christopher doing standup on the street during the pandemic:

Tim Heidecker mocking the crap out of bad standup

My dad wants me to come to Salina for it, but Lewis is in Tulsa the following Saturday so I’m trying to get him to come here.

I like Jeselnik, but he’s so different & it’s slow sometimes. After awhile I get the point. However, his what’s the worst gift you can give someone after an abortion joke was the hardest I’ve laughed at a stand up joke in a long time. I also listened to him on Bomani Jones podcast & it was really good.

I totally get that. Some times you have to wait it out and it def isn't for everyone. His Boston marathon bit is really good too. I think what I like most about him is that he says the most awful crap you can imagine on stage and I've listened to interviews and podcasts with him or with people talking about him and he is supposedly a really nice down to earth guy. He openly admits its all a schtick which is pretty cool.

I really like Bergatzi. Tennessee Kid was hilarious.

Almost forgot I also like Tom Segura although it can be hit or miss.

I was thinking about it, but I don't like seeing comedians in big arenas. I missed him last time at the Midland and really want to see him, but i'm prob passing.

I missed this post initially but wanted to emphasize that Jo Firestone thing. It's so fun and adorable.
