This is probably the wrong board, but it's primarily where I lurk and I couldn't think of a better place so here it goes. >Who is your favorite comedian?

>>3147460 Probably just Black Books. His stand ups have less than a million views on youtube so I doubt the general American public appreciate him. Bill Bailey is hilarious too, very underrated.

I don't really understand why Louis C.K is held in such high regard, he's a very good and comedic speaker but I don't understand the status, maybe it's an American thing. Not trying to shit on him or anything, he's good but doesn't seem as good as people say.

>>3147434 He's so underrated and so damn fucking good. The trajectory of his career and his death just seem so bizarre. I really want to see his movie. Also people who like Bill Hicks should have a look at Lenny Bruce.

Bo Burnham. Perhaps not my *favourite* but definitely up there. You shouldn't judge him off his early youtube stuff, which is, while still funny, fairly immature humour and does him nowhere near justice. His newer stuff is downright genius though. He has absolutely matured as a comedian and a thinker, and looks like he still has plenty of room to grow. While he is known for his musical comedy, his stand up is just as good, if not better. He is incredibly creative on stage, and clever. But I recommend him especially to proper fans of comedy. So much of his live material is making fun of stand up comedy cliches and tropes. I saw him in Sydney, and trust me, every single fucking international comedian makes some joke about how 'big' the country is or about how dangerous the wildlife is. He came out on stage with this: You know what's so weird about Australia? You guys have different electrical ports! And then kicked his chair over. May not read funny, but I really appreciated it.
