Saw Shane Gillis last night. It was funny, but I was also really surprised at how much old material he used in the set.

Oh shit I was there too. He stayed in the same hotel so got to meet him after the show and had way too many cigs with lemaire. Shit ruled

The Notre Dame bit was fucking great, well, all of it was great, but of the new stuff, that one stood out.

Oh yea the one leading to Cliff in the hotel room with the boys? Fuckin great haha but yea whole show was awesome I loved hearing him fuck around with jokes that sound far from ever landing on a future special

This was a nice watch while stoned

I saw a YouTube short from Anthony Jeselnik on Joe Rogan's podcast and was unaware of an unreleased special.

It is not as great as his other specials, but it is definitely worth listening to. Allegedly, he performed this on September 9th and 10th before the tragedy occurred on September 11th. It is very dark, which explains why he/they decided to not release the special.

I'm a big fan of George Carlin and feel this special is interesting to view as it is an insight to his thought process of a comic as he became increasingly misanthropic at the end of his career.

Saw Anthony Jeselnik and the power went out midway through his set. He ended up finishing on some backup amps after a 20 minute delay. Fucking great shit, a master at work. His opener Dina Hashem was very good, too.

Saw Sam Morrell also. He killed it but then went into some crowd work toward the end, and I fucking hate crowd work. Twenty minutes of hearing one half of a conversation, or if the audience member is talking loudly enough, a way too drawn out story/explanation of who gives a shit. Almost ruined the whole show.

Just learned Sam Morrill is Ansel Elgort’s cousin (he’s and actor and his father is an uber famous fashion photographer of the supermodel era)

Not stand up but some standups doing a talk show. This is probably their worst episode but it's funny how much Steve o seems like he's not into it. (Still some ok bits)

rukes · « **Reply #343 on:** November 12, 2023, 12:52:47 AM »

Was funny to see Steve O looking pretty uncomfortable through some of that

Any aussies like Sam Campbell? He’s on the UK Taskmaster wearing Ishod’s and I’ve seen him wearing Pass~Port in sets, so it seems like we might have another skater stand up

Mean salto · « **Reply #345 on:** November 12, 2023, 01:51:04 AM »

For me he's good in small amounts. There's a big amount of Aus comedy that's just like stupid/wierd for the sake of weird stuff I really have to be in the mood for to enjoy. I keep meaning to watch his full specials but never get around to it so would be unfair to judge too much.
I've been wondering if he skated for a while I noticed the ishods on taskmaster and he did something in the last ep that made me think he def at least had some connection but now can't remember what it was.
I think passport is also just very involved in a lot of Australian, especially Sydney creative people. I think some older videos would have Donny Benet music and here's a clip that features Sam Campbell

at 4:50 he has a sketch with a character called Rhys Grogan. Rhys Grogan was a Sydney skater in the early 00s so I'm gonna guess Sam's connected to skating

I saw Kyle Kinane recently and it was really good. there isn't much opportunity in life to laugh for an hour straight so it is so much fun when it happens.

I saw him alongside Tim Key and Simon Amstell last month. Had never heard of him but he was definitely the funniest of the eve and a crowd favourite. I could see how it might not transfer over as well to TV but in person he was fucking hilarious

He’s soo good on Taskmaster I think and you can tell that the hosts love him. Agree that the kind of comedians that show up on celebrity corner of 9 out of 10 cats do countdown (I’m American so no idea if that’s lame to watch hah) might be Best in small doses

Notices Sam wearing that Electrical shirt from the Pass-Port sitcom/fake doc they’ve done a few eps of

AsianVegan · « **Reply #349 on:** November 23, 2023, 03:05:19 PM »

I saw him at this year's Melbourne Festival and he was a standout, he was wearing the same Redfern Electrical shirt, haha.

about 10 mins in and Breuer starts off by going HARD! I have to step out for work but plan on finishing this tonight.

Saw Drew Lynch with my wife, wasn’t expecting much, he killed.

Just watched Chad Daniels new special Mixed Reviews.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This guy is Rosanne Barr levels of stand up. Dude doesn't even tell any jokes, he just shouts talking points that the audience like in a funny voice while they clap along like seals

Good lord that was so bad. I watched a couple minutes and skipped around. The only funny thing I saw was him trying to roast science and the scientific method only to show how little he understands of both.

Atiba Applebum · « **Reply #355 on:** November 26, 2023, 06:13:38 PM »

I love that Adam McKay hated Breuer and basically iced him out of SNL when he took over the head writer job bc of how unfunny he thought JB was

fineslime · « **Reply #356 on:** November 29, 2023, 07:41:13 AM »

tbh, I didn't watch any more of the special. he just holds a soft spot for me from his SNL days and Half Baked.

Not to be all Al Madrigal but does Steve-o's comedy consist of jokes or is it him doing on-stage antics and recalling the times he horked an earthworm ?

I once asked a coworker where the best food was in the town and he said "Panda Express" and I feel similar apprehension anytime I ask people (people I don't know) if the comedy they appreciate would be the comedy that I appreciate. props to @fineslime for ye bravery

he's not doing traditional stand up, no, but he's also not doing stunts on stage. this special is basically him introing bits he filmed. some solid laughs so far and there's a definite shock factor to it. I'm halfway through and the bits are getting pretty fookin' gnarly. people passing out during the show. basically what you'd expect from Steve-O.
