World (Vegas) Travel Thread

Buying tickets to see Ray Romano AND Kevin James in the SAME show. I love Vegas.

Bleh.

I don't know if you ever saw his standup before, but I thought he was corny as hell.  At the end, I was surprised he didn't make a joke about airline food, since he covered pretty much every other cliche.

ummmm louie ck hello

Bill Hicks, Rodney, Lenny Bruce, Carlin, Robin Williams, Sam Kinison & Denis Leary (among about 1,000 others) might also disagree with that.

dont get me wrong its a not a white black thang....theres like two funny black stand ups ever

its just that stand up is really an impossible thing to ever succeed at

99% of the world is NOT funny when they try really hard

and lol @ robin williams ever being funny....hes one of the most despicable people to ever walk the earth

carlin > all

There are 5 comedians whose standup I thought was worth watching, they are:
Eddie Murphy
Andrew Dice Clay
Chris Rock
Jim Gaffigan
Richard Pryor

Hope everyone appreciates my oreo cookie

Mitch Hedberg

[Sgt PSN]

Hedberg and Chappelle should def be on that list, more so than Gaffigan.  I think he's funny, but he's just a goofy white guy. 

[ice grillin you]

chapelles show was pretty funny but his stand up not so much

[SD]

wasn't a fan of Hedberg or Chappelle. Gaffigan is the best stand up act still doing shows today.

[ice grillin you]

stand up is just ridiculously hard to execute well...if hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports then stand up is the hardest thing to do in entertainment...even tho i may hate them and hope they die i still have utmost respect for even the worst stand up comedians for even trying

[General_Failure]

It probably doesn't help that you have the sense of humor of a turtle.

[Munson]

Of course that's only true in IGY world and the rest of us enjoy stand up comedy.

Also, Jim Jefferies is pretty good. But it could just be the accent.
