I know @Pissclams has a trap thread on this, but I want a serious one. I've been spending a lot of time watching stand up lately and I'm really falling in love with a few characters. Here's my current top 3.

1. Louis CK- He's amazing and blowing up. I also love his show. Anything new that comes out with him, I have to watch. His SNL a few weeks back was hilarious.

2. Aziz- Hilarious! I like it when he makes fun of guys for sending dick pics. He's a winner!

3. Kevin hart- Yes, he's mainstream, but man, he's funny.

Louis CK is my favorite, by far.

I also really like Jerry Seinfeld and Lewis Black.

Kevin Hart, Aries Spears, Jo Koy are pretty hilarious

Trogdor · « **Reply #5 on:** June 11, 2015, 01:25:03 PM »

Gabriel Iglesias is probably my favorite

Steve Harvey is also pretty funny too

I mean, more than he already was. I mean, he's like a super star now. Before, he was just a star.

For some reason I got into random women comics like Nikki Glaser, Schumer, and Chelsea Peretti.

Back in January, I saw Louis CK at the Chicago Theater, with Hannibal Burress as the first opener, and Steven Wright as the second. It was a fantastic show.

I like going to Bay Area standup open mikes. I've enjoyed most of them more than any comedy show I've paid for.

Obviously randomly selected from the current top 3 most popular female comics.

so here's why I like open mic's more:

1) Most of the performers are working comics or people who are trying to be working comics.
2) Open mics are an opportunity for them to try out new jokes, which means they often push boundaries - you see stuff that is more racist, crude, and "edgy", if you will, because they want to see how people react. This is often extra funny. When it's not....
3) people bomb. I like watching people bomb because it's a very real, human experience. If you're paying to see someone they'll generally play it safe.
Finally
4) you do get some really really bad people which isn't as bad as you think because it only takes like 5 minutes.

This is a great recap. I've told several ppl on here, that one of my roommates in college does stand up. I'll give it to him, he tries really hard, but nothing really bites with the audience. When I was dating filly, she boo'd him and heckled him on stage, and I went off on her. That's when I knew she was a bad person IRL.

She booed an open mic?
