Just now getting into stand-up comedy, never cared for it til recently. I like Patton Oswalt, I think John Mulaney's pretty good. Who are some of the best (I loved Jim Carrey as a kid, films.)?
Richard Pryor
try david cross, neil hamburger, tig notaro
also try never asking /tv/ about standup
Anthony Jeselnik, black comedy.

jeff dunham :D :D
bill burr and david cross are really good.. if you haven't listened to david cross' stuff, he has like 3 albums on spotify and i think a taped set on netflix or something. he's really great. bill burr is also great to get into and he has the only podcast ive ever actually listened to semi-regularly. louis ck is a cliche reddit "i can say faggot now because he said it! hahaha nigger!!" comedianne but she's still really funny regardless.
Ever listen to mitch hedberg?

nah brah

i liked jeselnik a few years ago, i think from seeing him on a roast and hearing some stuff on pandora, but when i tried watching his new thing it just felt super stale and boring, like you already know each of his jokes is going to be set up the exact same way (talk quietly about an innocent situation with an OBVIOUS twist.. pause.. then reveal the twist calmly!! absolute madman!) so you're able to literally predict like half of the fucking punchlines
>>63173499
yeah, back when he was called steven wright

>short, clever jokes are for one comedian only
>>63173684
>distinctly lethargic voice and slow, deadpan delivery of ironic, philosophical and sometimes nonsensical jokes, paraprosdokians, non sequiturs, anti-humor, and one-liners with contrived situations weren't poached by Mitch Hedberg because lol I only know of Mitch Hedberg so fuck you dude he's awesome
>>63173801
>Using all these words that basically mean the same thing
You could say "Oh you like Dave chappelle? Pleb. How about you listen to Bill Cosby? cause his jokes are about race relations and feature philosophical paraprosdokians.

Let's get down to brass tacks here. What percentage, out of 100, do you feel Mitch Hedberg was inspired by Steven Wright?
Daniel Tosh
>>63174117
Honestly he was probably inspired a lot from him and probably a little from Seinfeld and woody allen too, but that doesn't discredit him in any way.
>>63173330
Daniel Cummins has a similar style to those guys
>>63173566

DUDE JUST CASTRATE ALL WHITE MALES LMAO
I wish Comedy Central showed more stand up and fewer shitty movies. Shouldn't stand up be the cheapest thing to fill airtime with anyway? It's literally just a guy talking.
I really liked Demetri Martin, Jim Gaffigan, and Brian Regan a long time ago.
I got just the guy for ya OP
