Official Stand Up Comedy Thread

Yall think Kevin Hart is as funny as people think he is? Or is he overrated?

I personally think he's hilarious. I didn' t like him at first, but now I do.
 
I think KH is funny. I have 100% respect for him, he's been grinding for a minute. Glad to see him blow up. If he is overrated, he deserves it
 
Kevin Hart did what Katt Williams could not...stay clean and stay relevant

Katt wasn't that funny to me. His content was always so...vulgar. I have no problem with listening to comedians talk about sex drugs and how much they hate ******. But damn, is that all you gon talk about.
That's why I like Kevin Hart, cus he's versatile when it comes to content
Katt was just a character.

If you haven't listened to Tig Notaro's Live (as in not die) you really need to. It's astonishing. Possibly my favorite stand up show ever.

from Louis CK...

"Tig was there. She was about to go on stage. I hadn't seen Tig in about a year and I said how are you? She replied "well I found out today that I have cancer in both breasts and that it has likely spread to my lymph nodes. My doctor says it looks real bad. ". She wasn't kidding. I said "uh. Jesus. Tig. Well. Do you... Have your family... Helping?". She said "well my mom was with me but a few weeks ago she fell down, hit her head and she died". She still wasn't kidding....

I stood in the wings behind a leg of curtain, about 8 feet from her, and watched her tell a stunned audience "hi. I have cancer. Just found out today. I'm going to die soon". What followed was one of the greatest standup performances I ever saw. I can't really describe it but I was crying and laughing and listening like never in my life. Here was this small woman standing alone against death and simply reporting where her mind had been and what had happened and employing her gorgeously acute standup voice to her own death."
 
I wish more people were stand up fans.

I've come across some good ones on Netflix (probably what I view the most on Netflix, by far). I'll post them later.

Aside from Patrice O'neal, Louis CK, Bill Burr and the obvious legends, there are some ok guys that are out there.

I haven't found any material from Hannibal Burress that I'm too crazy about. But I can get down with Jim Jefferies. And I agree with FlyNy that Katt is too obnoxious for my liking, even as a comedian.
 
Earthquake and Tony Roberts are hella underrated.

chris rock is the best at stand up and its not even close... kevin hart is funny and katt was always overrated imo
 
Chris Rock>Dave Chapelle>Kevin Hart with a lot of different comedians in between.

I never got into real old stand up acts beyond Eddie Murphy because it just didn't interest me in the same way as modern acts. Lot of these new guys are funny as hell, word to Aziz.
