Going to Candlenights for the second year in a row!

 

So jealous! I just saw them last night in Orlando (they were incredible) but I so badly want to go to Candlenights someday.

 

I saw them live too, but Candlenights seems like it would be particularly special.

 

Nicole and Sasheer have such a great relationship. Love this show so much.

 

I've just started listening to stand-up specials while at work but it's mostly been the dead guys - Carlin, Hicks, Hedberg, etc. What are everyone's opinions on them?

 

They are good.

 

Listen to Steve Martin, he’s practically dead

 

Seth Myers’ special is great. Sorta Mulaney-lite in delivery and writing.

 

3 of the best to ever do it. Some of Hick's stuff hasn't aged quite as well, probably, but I haven't listened to him in over a decade so idk...

 

please delete this immediately

 

watched this last night and felt strong Mulaney vibes throughout for sure, specifically the "they thought i was Jewish because of the everything about me" line. was a little too "MY WIFE" for me but it was a good hour

 

Been watching Bajillion Dollar Properties and up to the last season now. Saw an ep last night and PFT utters "that's a clumsy portmanteau " and I nearly lost it.

 

the HH episode where they do commentary on the Carlin routine is god tier

 

This is really good. It explains a whole hell of a lot and makes a ton of sense. Also feel like Mulaney is another example of that "Kyle Kinane-level fame" that this describes at the end as being the sweet spot. You could plug his name into that last section and it would like exactly describe Mulaney too.

 

Birbiglia and Gaffigan too , they're famous but humble

 

Yeah they’re also good examples, and I would say they’re probably even like one step bigger than Mulaney/Kinane too. Like not by much but still a bit.

 

Gaffigan and Birbiglia are WAY bigger than Kinane.

 

IDK... he is the voice of Comedy Central

 

not anymore. David Gborie is now

 

Well what do I know... I cut cable and haven't watched CC in over a year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

in my mind Mulaney is the biggest of that group. mostly because so many people I know can't name a single stand up comedian they like besides him.

 

all I know is Gaffigan and Birbiglia played 5000+ capacity theaters when they came here and I saw Kinane with like 100 other people and it wasn't even sold out.
