Comedy: Stand-Up, Improv, Sketch, Podcasts [ARCHIVED] • Page 510

Lmao I just got to this episode and it’s the best one yet for sure. My name is Sam and I’m now strongly considering changing my name on here to Ampersam.

 

His partner said he wakes up super early for his show and usually just wastes time surfing Twitter and picking fights.

 

This was so good. Such an honest look at depression, not unlike Chris Gethard’s. I love Gary. I still think it’s wild he was on Dane Cook’s Tourgasm.

 

I completely forgot about that. I think he was on last comic standing too.

 

Not strictly related but the commentary episode talk reminded me of Analyze Phish when they were listening to a tape from a show they went to and Harris made the same joke in studio as he did on the tape

 

I have four kids. There's enough feuding around these parts.

 

Live in NY ep is one of my favorite episodes of anything

 

Sometimes I get in my feelings thinking of Harris or Mitch Hedberg, thinking how great it would be to have their weird perspectives in this era.

 

People are still criticizing Julie Klausner for that tweet this morning, it’s sorta pathetic

 

Mister America is out!

 

first ep of In Myers We Trust is up on stitcher premium and nearly 4 hours long

 

jeez are they trying to out-do You Made It Weird?

 

Sounds like Michael Myers needs to slash the length of the episode

 

alternatively: make it 5 hours

 

saw Birbiglia perform The New One tonight. just a master storyteller. love him.

 

The new Gary Gulman special is great.

 

Jeselnik's new show is good. Haven't really heard anyone mention it.

 

watching the first episode now and the turtle bit is cracking me up

 

What is it? And where can I find it?

 

It's called Good Talk. It's on CC. Maybe check their website or On Demand??

 

It's one of the great tragedies of comedy that we'll never know what Mitch's twitter looks like. Sometimes stand ups are just as good or better in mediums that aren't stand up (Bill Burr w/ podcasting comes to mind) and fuck he would've killed it in that format.

 

Or, as I’ve seen with a bunch of other aging comics, he’d turn into some awful lunatic and ruin all my fond memories.

Twitter warps you’re fucking mind and I don’t know if even Mitch would’ve withstood that shit.

 

I feel like Harris's Twitter was the closest we'd get to Mitch's, except more crude. Just a lot of weird, funny observations about everyday things, like the chest hair on Lil' Caesar or how he's bringing back the word "Sheesh."

I'd like to think Mitch wouldn't be too concerned with politics or would just embrace his hippie side. But who knows. He seemed deathly afraid of getting personal, so maybe he wouldn't touch it at all.

 

Hard to say, since Mitch's comedy style in comparison to most was always timeless and oddly wholesome. You might still be right of course, but he seems to stand as being remembered as one of the good ones as of now.
