Going with a recent favorite.........Tom Segura. He has a number of specials on Netflix (they are all amazing) and his new one comes out tomorrow July 4th.
Make sure to see him live- waaaaay better and far more raunchy than the Netflix specials. I’ll see him anytime he makes it to N FL.
Seen him twice. I honestly didn't recall much difference from his live show, but it will be interesting to see his new special today and compare it to what I remember seeing it live last fall as it should be a lot of the same material.
Way back, liked Myron Cohen and the other dialect comedians on the Ed Sullivan show. I remember the night Jackie Mason got kicked off. Not Jewish, but somehow I wound up at Westwood Junior High School (aka UCLA).
I'm siding with the pickle man here, I think it takes more skill to be funny when they stay away from being crude. It's a more sophisticated level of humor, in my opinion. Yes, people laugh at farts but how much talent does it take to fart?
There's so many... Carlin may be that guy.. Cosby was Carlin's all time favorite, and Cosby was beyond fkin hysterical. There's really just too many. Impossible choice, that's like music, can't really pic a favorite. But Jim Jefferies and Rob White ...are two of my newer favorites...of course Dave Chappelle...he gets a golden pass.
