Standup comics

Kathleen Madigan is outrageously funny to me.

 

Louis C.K was only mentioned three times????

Fuck you all.

 

Lisa Lamapnelli is a HELL of a lot funnier than Carlos Mencia.

 

That's ....







really not saying very much.

 

True enough. Just saw the comparison and found it fraudulent.

Lampanelli is great on the roasts and what I've seen of her stand up is good.

I bet if you went and saw her in a club, you'd laugh your ass off.

I've had bouts of diarrhea funnier than Carlos Mencia.

 

Maria Bamford is funny if you give here a couple of minutes.

 

Mencia is a one-trick pony. And that pony ain't that funny. At all.

Of all the female comics that have been mentioned, none are remotely funny to me. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but I haven't found a funny one yet. Honestly, I'm not that disappointed, either.

Kinda off topic, kinda not. What are some of the best comedy clubs you people have visited? I've been to the Improv in a few cities and Zanies in Nashville.

 

Personally, I think Wilson is a poorer man's Rodney Carrington.

Banks and Wilson are both funniest in their music. I could listen to Banks' "Toast" all day, and Wilson's "Heaven on a Technicality" is good for a few chuckles.

 

Totally agree about the roasts. The only reason I compared the two is because Lampanelli's schtick is she's loud, fat and obnoxious/raunchy. Mencia's is he's loud, fat and "Mexican," even though he was born in Honduras and raised in LA.

 

Nail on head.

 

I picked Chappelle, but why no love for Paul Mooney?

P.S. I was watching Jimmy Kimmel's show last night and Don Rickles was a guest. That guy is hilarious.

 

I've never been a stand-up comedy fan until I got XM.

Since then my favorites are Mitch Hedberg, John Pinette, Gabriel Iglesias (especially when he does his Felipe stories), Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Dave Attel and lewis Black.

But my absolute favorite is Mitch Fatel.
