Stand Up Comedians

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Watched Ray Romano Right Here Around The Corner. Wasn’t great. I’m a huge fan of Ray, but seemed kind of like he did it just for the pay cheque.

Some people are suited to tv sitcoms comedy than stand up. I think Romano is in that boat.

Jerry Seinfeld too, as I find his stand up a bit hit and miss at times. Went to garden of laughs at msg in april earlier in the year and thought seinfeld's set was the worst of the comedians they had on show.

Well said!
And ya I agree about Seinfeld as well. The show is one of my faves but I’ve seen some of his stand up and it’s kind of dry like rays in my opinion.

He's not really hungry anymore and has nothing to prove.

I think he just does stand-up so he can keep going around telling everyone it's the hardest job in show business.

If that was true, then he wouldnt bother turning up to New York's smaller comedy clubs and perform for free while he tries new material. I've seen him on more than one occasion unannouced at Gotham comedy club.

He does it because he still loves it. It is just he is getting old. And its tougher for an older comedian to adapt to a younger crowd. Observational comedy, which Seinfeld made his name doesnt work as well with millennials.

Millenials don't like Seinfeld?

Thats news to this millenial and all of the millenials I went to school/interacted with throughout my life.

Maybe you are thinking of Gen Z?

That sounds like a laugh track.

That's not funny in the slightest. Just says a bunch of random things but is never telling jokes.

Joe Rogan got in interview with...Edward Snowden on his podcast.

Most people don't realize Millenials are technically people born from 1981 to 1996. Lots of them grew up watching Seinfeld.

I can't think of one female comedian that I find funny.

Perfect delivery. Especially the Dracula bit.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Genuinely edgy comedy. It doesn't have to be what is said. His form and delivery is a lot more risky and edgy than whatever current comics are crying about.

My absolute favorite. Love this guy, shame there isn't more, but he's one of those guys you could see it coming.

I just don't find him funny

Harvey Weinstein(!)showed up to a performance for new(!!) actors and comedians, and these inexperienced stand ups started roasting him.

What a POS, him and anyone supporting/defending him.

I'm of the opinion that a comic should talk about any subject they like, they just have to be funny while they do it

She wasn't funny
