Stand Up

Stand Up is worth its own thread.

I just watched Jeffries: High and Dry - Not his best work. I'll only watch it again if I'm really bored.

Thread 'Stand Up Comedy Thread'

Nov 22, 2023

I am a big stand up fan and felt like we needed an official thread here.

With the timing of it right now, I'll kick it off saying how disappointing Matt Rife's Netflix special was. I had heard him on podcasts talking about how it's awkward to be famous for his looks and I felt like this special was so over the top on how "controversial" he was and how he wasn't a pretty boy but how he was edgy. Not funny and totally forced and not a well crafted and tight set at all.

Stanhope is finally in Pittsburgh tomorrow night after not coming here on recent tours and I'm forced to miss it as I'm leaving for CT the next morning for a wedding. Still have never seen him live. He's on my bucket list.

OTOH, have good seats for Louis CK next weekend. He's pretty much the only A-list comedian where one can score reasonably priced tickets. Paid just over $100 for two ten rows back. 2700 seat venue when other A-listers are selling out arenas for much higher tix prices.

Saw John Mulaney with Fred Armisen, Mike Birbiglia, and Nick Kroll opening up, a good night of comedy

I really wanted to see that show in Westville, but I was away last week for a family trip.

Got pre-sale John Oliver tickets for the Oakdale in December. Seen him before, he does a solid stand up show.
