Post a Comedian

Hey, they're people too! Well, most of them are at least.

Anyway, like the Post a Video thread and the Post a Music Video thread, I think this would be a good way to share a comedian. Especially since so many of them have specials and DVD releases. I know we'll get all the predictable Sam Kinison and Mitch Hedberg posts which is fine in a mundane sort of way, I guess. Not that I'm not a fan 'cause I am I just think that people already know about them. It's not new and if the guy/girl is dead, they won't be making anything new either. Doesn't make them less relevant though so, I guess they are ok.

But seriously, if you know of a comedian that you've seen or heard of that others might not have, post it. I mean, if you found it side-splittingly funny, someone else might too. Some of the best comics I've seen were opening acts for other comics and I wouldn't have known about them if someone hadn't said something to me or I stumbled on them looking to see another act.

Just one caveat, keep it clean and within the forum rules. Guys like Andrew Dice Clay have very little you could actually post here so it's probably a good idea to steer clear of his material. So use your brain and if you don't have one, borrow a brain from someone else who has a clue.


My first shot. A couple weeks ago, I went to see Kevin Brennan at Helium in Philly. Besides the fact that Kevin is pee in your pants funny, he's a nice guy too and worth seeing. However, on the night I saw Kevin's show, he had a guy opening up for him.

His name is Phil Hanley and he was just as good if not better than Kevin. He's a fairly new comic and his jokes aren't that fresh and new. But his comedic timing and delivery are what makes it. Well, shortly after his show at Helium, he was booked on Craig Fergueson's show. So here's the set from that show.

    I can't think of any comedians I like whose work would be acceptable here... haha.

    Louis CK is still my fave right now.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    He's gotta have something clean on YouTube. Dude has hours worth of material. If you can't post it directly, just link it.

    Can't access videos at work so I can't post one, but I did catch Louis Katz this weekend on TV and rather enjoyed his show. I had never heard of him, but maybe some of you have.

    In Youtube, there's an "Embed" button under the video. Just copy and paste. Sometimes, embedding is disabled for the video.

    I'm sure most people know Jim Gaffigan. He's one of those comedians that's actually funny without defaulting to sophomoric vulgarisms in every joke (yes, I find those comedians funny, too).

    Wow... Just because I didn't give a serious answer, it doesn't mean that I don't understand the idea behind this thread. If it will get that splintered stick out of your ****, Dave Chappelle, Mike Epps, Jeff Dunham, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor are a few of my favorites, but I don't have the time to dig up videos right now. I'll post some up later when I'm off work. Try not to have an an aneurysm until then okay?

    Don't care, really. Stop dumping on the thread.

    I wish people would post videos like others have instead of proclaiming thier love for an individual and leaving it at that.
