@T4920 I think Sam Merrill is second to none when it comes to crowd work,and I find myself waiting for him to get into it while he’s doing his jokes. Have to check that special as I don’t remember his closer. He’s been popping up at The Comedy Cellar in NYC as of late. Would love to catch him doing a set.

[T4920]

@Jett129 something about these New York guys that just resonates with me... him and Ari Shaffir are my two favourites.

Sam Morill is coming to Denver soon. He’s def a top guy for me too.

Jim Jefferies is also coming. Have tix for that in January. He is a top 3 for me.

@Mizmazzle Gary Vider usually opens for Sam Morrill,and I like him a lot. A great double bill. Jeselnik is my absolute favorite,and after him it's kind of like my IH jeans rotation,which is seasonal.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 yeah. Vider is great. I should snag up some of those Morill tickets.

With every new Special, Sam Morrill cements himself as my favourite working comic today. 'You've Changed' on Amazon Prime was so damn good, with one of the best closing jokes I've heard in years.

Went back and rewatched most of it and,you’re right his closer is great.

Loved Hassan Minaj's new special. The whole bit on 'Black America', 'White America' and 'The various shades of Beige-istan' really tickled me.

Had never seen his stand up before this, but was really impressed with the balance he stuck between crowd work and the continued narrative of the show itself.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 I agree. I haven't seen his newest special, but i've seen two of his older ones. He does a fantastic job of maintaining comedy while delving into some great social commentary. I love a comedian who can strike that balance.

Do you know who Roy Wood Jr. is? He is another guy who expertly tells poignant stories about social injustice with incredible humor. He's one of my favorites.

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle can't say I've heard of him, but I've just finished packing for my vacation tomorrow and was about to a crack a beer and find something funny to watch for a few hours.. I'll look him up!

5am start tomorrow, heading to Thailand again! If the 23h of flights/transfers wasn't enough, I have a 4h minibus to my final destination to look forward to when I land in Chiang Mai. Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself, but I know it'll all be worthwhile when I get my first sip of that sweet Chang!

@T4920 NYC has the best comics. And LA comics get better after moving to NYC.

Have you listened to Ari Shaffirs podcasts about Thailand etc? He tells such good travel stories!

@Mizmazzle Roy Wood Jr is so good! I got to see a filming of “This is Not Happening” when he took over hosting.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 hell yea dude!! CAn't wait to follow along on your trip bro. Have so much fun! Yeah, download some spotifies of Roy Wood Jr.
All the ones he has on there are great. Excellent in flight entertainment.

Any Hot Ones fans here. This is Maya Rudolph playing her character from the TV show Loot. It’s old but always makes me laugh.

Surprised they aged restricted it. The language is pretty spicy. Pun intended!

[seawolf]

@Jett129 That was a good one!

@Moty the Fake Tree reminds me of the time I watered the plants for friends while they were on holiday. I watered the plastic ones as well. In my defense, I’m a biologist not a gardener

@Tago-Mago - Nietzsche has a quote that might just be appropriate here…

[Jett129]

In the fake tree cartoon the tip is Pi/3.14 which I thought was pretty clever.
