Stand-Up Comedy has been something I've watched near-daily for years; but I have only very recently attended shows. First comedy gig I went to was Stewart Lee's "Content Provider" which is a hella weird first gig to go to, being as he is really Out There... Followed shortly by Dylan Moran. I seek out pretty much any Chappelle I can get my hands on, and I really rated Russell Brand a lot up until he decided to get grandiose and quite deluded ideas about being a Left icon... (So; competition) Dylan Moran bit I like; Illustrative of what Stewart Lee is like; deliberate contempt for audience; deliberately "fucking up" bits... He's just fuckin good and can sort of Tease every kind of laugh out of you, Awkward laughter, Nervous laughter... Then when the Joke happens (You get abt. 3 conventional jokes per set) you're laughing out of surprise and catharsis as much as the joke. One standup set I really didn't like what Katt Williams latest (I think?) Netflix special... Where during a fuckin NETFLIX SPECIAL he did about fourty minutes of material on The City in America he was in... Fuckin why make local interest comedy then put it on Netflix? IDGI. So; standup comedy, what do you like on telly? What have you seen in person?
