Oh yeah, Jim Norton is definitely up there. I haven’t seen much from Rich Vos but he’s hilarious when I’ve heard him on old O&A clips on Youtube and more than one person has told me I need to see his stand-up. So I guess I’ll have to check out his stand-up now.

I’m definitely a fan of Rogan’s podcast, but I find his stand-up to be just okay. He’s too inspired by Kinison. I can enjoy Kinison but it comes off as too much sometimes. But I did really like Rogan’s last special, “Triggered.” Probably his best stand up special since his early specials. Maybe even surpassing those early ones… maybe… Heck, I thought it was funnier than Burr’s most recent special and I think Burr is the best stand-up comic currently in the business. Granted I thought Burr’s latest was his worst special to date (not that it was bad, just didn’t live up to my high expectations of him and maybe that’s unfair, especially with how busy he has been the last couple of years with F is for Family–which I love, his podcast, etc).

If you like Segura, I think you’d like Kreischer. They’re good friends too and are hilarious when they are on podcasts together. Check out Bert’s latest special (The Machine) if you can. I think it’s on Showtime, but I saw the full special on Youtube. Should be able to find it, though it’s not the best quality.

A truly great loss for the comedy community. His wit, comedic timing, and ability to rip into anyone was genius. It’s, sadly, hard to imagine him being able to come up with his style of comedy today. RIP funny man.

That’s the infamous The Machine Story. It’s probably his most popular story from his Showtime special, but he has a lot of funny stuff on that special so I suggest watching the whole thing if you haven’t already. If you don’t have Showtime it’s on YouTube. He’s also great on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

Funny and rough to watch.

Jeff Dunham. It’s like he knew me when he created Walter.

Yep. Also, in '97 Rolling Stone had a 6 page profile spread on him as the top party animal at the top party school of the year when he was a 6th year senior at FSU lol. He’s really funny and has a contagious laugh.
