So, I've done a lot of thinking about this "art form"... I have a lot of favorites. Growing up, my dad had a traveling job. I would steal his cassette tapes of various comedians and I instantly fell in love with that whole era of comedy. I grew up listening to Carlin, Cosby, and Pryor. Over the years, my taste for comedy has evolved quite a bit. If I had to list a top 5 (current guys/girls) it would include, no certain order:
1) Chappelle
2) Louis CK
3) Kevin Hart
4) Joe Rogan
5) Joey Diaz
I know this has been discussed before, so the repost police can suck a dick. [Reply]

As for female stand-ups, well, maybe it's me, but I never saw one that was really that good. I like Whitney Cummings, but she's not on the same level as any of the best male stand-ups.
I think just like music you gotta get out of the mainstream. The mainstream wants to push comedians who are over the top. And that’s especially true I feel for female comedians. There are several who are more subtle like Taylor Tomlinson who are pretty good. [Reply]

He put on a good show and is a Chiefs fan! Was a good night of comedy. [Reply]
