That's Jokes

@Jett129 I think I've seen all of his recent shows (the ones on Netflix anyway) as I watch pretty much every special that's gets uploaded there, but I might well be guilty of tuning out a little if I'm doing other things at the same time.
I'll try and find the bit this evening, and will gladly stand corrected if warranted!

@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.

@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..

@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.

@Mizmazzle Dave Atell is great,although I’ve never seen him in person. Comedy Club in Denver?
-
Oh man he is one of the masters. That’ll be great!
-
@Mizmazzle Absolutely,I didn’t get into him until I heard other comics referencing him.

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.
