Big fan of Louis CK as well. He has a way of using humor to put things into perspective in an amazing way that makes you laugh and think at the same time.

A friend told me about Anthony Jeselnik yesterday and I watched some of clips on YouTube. I dig his dark humor as well. Kinda like taking Tosh's act and dialing up the darkness a bit. Good stuff.

I go to the comedy clubs when I can.... it's really hit or miss....

sometimes I laugh so much, my jaw hurts, others I cannot wait for it to be over....

In general though, I've found, I don't care much for women comedians... or older white guys as they seem to just say the dirtest thing they can think of. gets old quick...

Jeselnik is fantastic on the comedy central roasts.

I have tickets for Tosh tonight in Lincoln but not sure I will be able to make it or not.

I saw Jeselnik a couple years back. Sat front row at a comedy club and he spent like 5 minutes making fun of my buddy, it was great. Guy was hilarious.

Even though he tours the entire the United States, James Gregory is very popular in the Southeast. Gregory kinda has a down home style but discusses everything from lottery winners to fat women on airplanes. I actually had sore ribs one time the next day after seeing him perform.

Chris Rock by far my favorite comedian ever and it isn't even close.

I saw him in Vegas like 6 years ago when he was doing his new HBO special "Kill The Messenger"

I'm seeing him on Friday - looking forward to it.

Best act I've seen live is Bob Saget, dude just powers his way through 90min of material like it's nothing... Was very impressed.
