Fordgalaxy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6k_278oGHI Chelsea Handler. Pretty funny. I wouldn't go across the street to see her unless she was getting run over by a tank. I second Mitch Hedberg, R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Jay Mohr is very underrated as a comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) I saw Craig Ferguson live earlier this year and he was hilarious! His Keith Richards/Mick Jagger story is great! I've enjoyed his DVDs too. We saw Lily Tomlin live a month or so later and she was stellar. A true icon. If you're going 70's and 80's old school, Richard Pryor is a must and probably the gold standard, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Kevin Pollack, Michael Keaton, and earlier than that Joan Rivers, Bob Newhart, Lenny Bruce, Burns and Allen, Jack Benny (he was more variety show but absolutely hilarious) Edited September 12, 2015 by CygnusGal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a series of phone conversation routines that were great. Like "The morning after the night before...". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nagzOGCc8N4 Edited September 12, 2015 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Dana Carvey and Kathleen Madigan have all done good stand-up specials IMO. Burr's a little more on the racy side though. Edited September 12, 2015 by TexMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great one and he was way ahead of his time. Great phone calls (have you seen the phone skit from the Judy Garland show? - hilarious - I don't care how low your sister's voice is, my name's not Dorothy ) He sounds like an influence on Larry David. http://youtu.be/nOyDkwF8AGc For me, Bob Newhart is the king of the deadpan phone call delivery. The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart actually knocked Elvis out of the #1 album spot and won a Grammy in 1961! :o And, he had virtually no experience in front of an audience at that time. He was an accountant who wanted to be a comedian and so they hired a club in Texas where he could have an audience while Bob recorded his album with the help of some friends. The album was a huge hit and launched his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his original 70's tv show was one of my favs. Nice to find another fan of class comedy, CG! :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
