Hey I saw that movie
funny thing is that I had not realized it was the same person since I have only been listening to him and did not check what he looked like ... lol
I'd be remiss not to mention Joe Pera. Thinking about it, I think he holds the supperlative for the hardest I ever laughed at live show. I saw him perform in some 200 person venue for a $5 admission Sketch Show. He had a set and I'm pretty sure everyone was in tears. The rare thing is, his act is not even slightly offensive and I'm pretty sure is 100% clean. (Although, I don't think the humor is for everyone.)
Joe, if you're reading this, I saw you in the summer of 2015 at the 'Prove It All Night' live show at WFMU. I told everybody you when that whole week.
This guy:

I am not a fan of offensive stand up (or offensive anything) especially when it's just for the sake of provoking some reaction, which is all too easy.
so I will definitely check him out
Cool! I'm not sure how his material transfers to typical platforms (Late Night Spots etc.) and it took the crowd to warm up to him when I was there...but after about 5-6 minutes...HOWLING!!!

My wife and I used to go to 2 or 3 show a week. Mostly at UCB but also at Largo, the comedy store, and a few others. Dropped off recently though. Been a stand-up fan longer than a music fan. My dad and I watched all the specials and comedy Central back when that's 1/2 of the programming (the other 1/2 being kids in the hall).
Seeing Kids in the Hall was a lifelong dream (well, the part that they existed during my life).
I've been to every festival supreme, the SF comedy fests.
Steven Brody was (is?) One of the best with an unsuspecting audience.
Norm Macdonald is one of my all time favorites
Kevin Neelen was good
Nick Krol sucked (well, it was ok, but I've heard his cat impressions way too many times)
Hulka (Matt Walsh).
Matt besser
Rob Heubel is good most of the time...kinda better as a host
There was this one short metal dude that was pretty good but I can't remember his name haha.
All the cast of Bob's Burgers is great, but the guy that plays Linda might be tops.
Hannibal Burress is ace
Cheech and Chong were pretty dang good.
A bunch of the ones mentioned are great too.
Still love Chris Rock
There is a few names I'm forgetting...seen way way too many shows. There is one dude that I really like but I keep getting is name confused with Joe piscopo haha.
A lot of people are way better out of the context of SNL (norm and Kevin for example...maya Rudolph is pretty dang awesome too...as is princess her prince cover band)
-Ring Mods!
"I make you chocolate"
-comesect69-via-Majin Buu-by-way-of-Dirge/mtl.asm and special consideration from CA Anderton
I'm forever indebted to Chris Rock for the 'No ones home jerk...' bit. I slightly prefer the Jim Bruer incarnation of doing a Chris Rock impression doing that bit though. Shit's gone M E T A....
