Saw the king himself Shane Gillis last night and it was unbelievably great. Had to buy resale tickets over 100 bucks each but absolutely worth it, I encourage anyone else to do the same if he comes to your city

The guy who got booted from
SNL for making hack Asian jokes?

Saw Sheng Wang open for Ali Wong a couple of weeks ago. He's hilarious and her new stuff about getting railed post-divorce is really good.

I wouldn't compare him to anyone honestly. I'm so fuckin jealous you still get to watch his special on YouTube for the first time ever

He's 100% his own animal. I guess if I had to compare him to anyone it would be Chappelle Show era Chappelle, at least when it comes to the sketches. Bold, risque, extremely smart and subversive. Dude, just watch him.

I have mixed opinions on Shane, but I loved that special.

childhood · « **Reply #218 on:** March 06, 2023, 05:28:14 PM »

I'm a pretty big fan of his so this isn't meant as a criticism, but I think his stand up delivery/style is often reminiscent of Louis C.K., and his sense of humor on the podcast sometimes reminds me of Kenny Powers from Eastbound & Down. I'm sure he'd admit they're both big influences on him, so it's whatever.

And yes, he admittedly said some unsavory words in that podcast clip that got him cancelled, but the bit genuinely was basically a satire mocking how white people used to think of asian people as less than human.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but tbh I only found like half of the G&K sketches I saw funny.

Damn this is much sharper than the last special he put out.

Reminds me of a moment in the recent "tuesdays with stories" podcasts where they discuss attending a Bill Cosby show.
Is it ok to attend for free? Should you abstain due to his crimes?

Yes, I liked it, too. A lot less bad politically incorrect jokes („I say this edgy thing just, because I can“ type jokes), than in the last one. The last „gay sperm“ joke was like that, but I laughed a lot through out the rest of it.

definitely down to check out louie, thanks for sharing. my wife and i caught him in austin which was great because the venue was small and our tickets were really good because of that.

The Chris Rock special wasn’t as bad as I expected. Several times he’d veer towards the exhausting out-of-touch-rich-old-guy-vs-cancel-culture bullshit.. but then actually say something kind of funny. I just really wish the media would stop glamorizing cocaine so much lately… because it makes me really want some but I can’t.

Not sure if this belongs in the stand up or podcast thread.. but I recently discovered Kill Tony and it’s definitely entertaining. Maybe not so much the actual standup, but the absolutely ruthless and very not-PC roasting that ensues.

Can you link a choice episode?

I’ve caught clips and it didn’t hold my attention but, according to OP’s intent of the thread “…standup that has a non-traditional format” this fits right in so I’m interested.

(Rock’s special is another return to greatness.)

Coastal Fever · « **Reply #227 on:** March 07, 2023, 07:03:49 AM »

I’ve only listened to a few recent ones on Spotify while at work, and tbh they’re all pretty similar.. but the one with David Lucas and his daughter Luna was pretty good iirc. Him and Hans Kim are definitely my favourite regulars. William Montgomery is the only one I find too annoying/over the top.

matt_2993 · « **Reply #228 on:** March 07, 2023, 09:07:18 AM »

A couple episodes I enjoyed. Shane hammered is the best here.
Shane "as soon as I saw cargo shorts I knew you wouldn't be funny"
Rogan "shut up I wear cargo shorts!"
Shane "well...."

I thought I was great, I was dying at the joke about his daughter biting people

Even when he made a “my pronouns are” joke? Such a fucking hack joke I was surprised he stooped to it, but at least he didn’t dwell.

Overall, I enjoyed it, but I don’t know if I’d ever replay it

PistachiYo · « **Reply #232 on:** March 09, 2023, 02:51:34 AM »

New Louis CK was very good. One of my favorite comedians for sure.

Had to turn off the new Chris Rock special after about 20 minutes. Not my cup of tea.

Kind of expected those jokes, most older black dudes have a few conservative ideologies (speaking from experience) .knew that pronoun and his trans joke wasnt going to go too far but he really didnt work those like chappelle would…just moved on knowing hes old

Shane Gillis is playing the theater in my hometown in June. Tickets just went on sale yesterday! Definitely going to cop a few tomorrow when my paycheck hits.

Chris Distefano played here last week, and a ton of A level comics are starting to tour here. Comics are finally realizing my city is a huge market.

He's on every podcast and is touring the world. You want people to describe him to you like you're actually going to listen to some of his stuff? It's obvious you chimed in because you wanted to dogpile and now you're doing a little "oh! is he any good? describe him!" bullshit to backtrack because it's not 2020 anymore and nobody cares to join you in your little attempt at a finger-wag/dogpile. Nobody cares. Go try and be outraged somewhere else.

I had my knee-jerk reaction to your original question but, giving you the benefit of the doubt and your ignorance of his work, I'll link his special here so you can form your own opinion.
