That's Jokes

@T4920 Here you go.

@Jett129 Thanks man, that was brilliant. I'm going to watch the whole show over the weekend now. Seems like I may have jumped to conclusions about his style based on some other material that didn't particularly resonate with me, always happy to have my mind changed.

Just finished watching Michelle Wolf's new three-part Netflix special, 'It's Great to Be Here'.
Such good stuff. Tackles some hot, controversial issues in extremely clever and original ways! Definitely recommend a watch, and it's split into 3 themed episodes so it's very digestible if you're short on time.

@T4920 I watched the Michele Wolf specials and flat out loved it. Iwas once at a comedy club in NYC and she walked on and did 15 minutes and just killed it. I've been a fan ever since. Really smart,and as you said clever comedy and she can get raunchy,but never vulgar. My wife especially liked it.

[T4920]

@Jett129 That's awesome, I frequent the comedy clubs/nights in my hometown, but don't often get big names unannounced. Romesh Ranganathan showed up at tiny show last year, though.. Not sure if he's a known Stateside, but he's a big name on British TV, and was very entertaining live.

Have you seen Daniel Sloss' shows on Netflix? He's probably my favourite British comedian, his shows are borderline therapy for me, but not in the preachy, unfunny way a lot of UK comics get when they're trying to win awards at Edinborough Fringe

Couldn't recommend enough if you enjoy themed specials that really push the boundaries of what comedy can be..

Also, that Jeselnik clip made me want a Leather IH Type III even more than I already did...

[Jett129]

@T4920 My favorite British comedians are Jimmy Carr and Sarah Millican. I think I've seen Daniel Sloss. I was also a really big fan of The IT Crowd.

[T4920]

@Jett129 Seen Jimmy live a few times, never misses! As for British TV shows, I'll die on the hill that Peep Show is the best comedy series we've ever made.

[Jett129]

@T4920 Lunell is one of my favorites and she currently has a new special on Netflix. She's 75 years old and still doing it. This clip is especially raunchy and funny.

[T4920]

@Jett129 ahaha never seen her before, but I love Ms Pat, who I'd imagine was heavily inspired by Lunell here

@Jett129 yeah that was great! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to see Dave Atell in a couple weeks. Pretty stoked about that!

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Dave Atell is great,although I’ve never seen him in person. Comedy Club in Denver?

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 yup! Comedy Works. I’ve seen him one other time. He was so so good. Didn’t realize his genius until I saw him live.

[popvulture]

Oh man he is one of the masters. That’ll be great!

[Mizmazzle]

100% it’s incredible how many jokes that guy has.

[Jett129]

Dave Attell,Anthony Jeselnik,John Mulaney and many others were really big fans of this guy.

[Mizmazzle]

I remember watching Mitch when I was a kid. No one like him…ever.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Absolutely,I didn’t get into him until I heard other comics referencing him.

[T4920]

Has anyone seen Ari Shaffir's 'Jew' special?

I might be biased, cause I'd been a fan of him for many years before it released, but I think it's one of the greatest show's I've ever seen.

As he describes it, a love letter to his faith. He admits to have taken a few minor liberties with the truth, but I still feel like I was educated and entertained in equal parts.

@T4920 I read this yesterday evening and have been trying to rack my brain since and think of a better British comedy show than Peep Show… and no. There isn’t one. Genius!

[Mizmazzle]

I’ve listened to this Ari special on Spotify. Definitely a very smart and unique way to shape his comedy. A girl I was dating a some years back was a big fan of his and dragged me to his show. Another instance of seeing him “live” and becoming a fan.
