Stand-up + sketch comedy thread


thrILL!

Recommended Posts

As one of the resident "old farts" here, I'm a huge fan of several "old school" comedians.

Bob Newhart, Franklyn Ajaye, George Carlin, Dennis Miller.  

If you've got Sirius XM, they've got a channel called "Comedy Classics" which has some of the old time greats:  Groucho Marx, Lennie Bruce, Red Foxx, Jonathan Winters, Alan King to name a few.

I consider Jim Norton to be about a C level stand up, but also one of the best radio/podcast comedians of all time. Two very different art forms. I think this bit is very representative of his talent(strengths vs weaknesses) because you'll notice how funny he is when just freely relaying his clear perversion and how meh the deliberate punchlines within the structure of his story are. 

Obviously, NSFW-
