Doug Stanhope: Beer Hall Putsch

I would put it a notch below No Refunds.

It is still vurry good, brothaman. Just grab some grapefruit brewskis, sit back and enjoy.

And two notches below "Before Turning thr Gun on Himself", which has the best bit he's ever done about the economic black hooker who uses her asshole to suckle on a muthafuckin carrot.

Netflix added canned laughter.

Most, if not all, have canned laughter

Anything by Stanhope. He is the only comedian I can really enjoy these days.

His audio book for digging up mother is great too.

Bill Burr - Why Do I Do This? Jim Norton - Despicable Norm Macdonald - Me Doing Stand up

I think any special by Jeselnik is really fucking good

I don't ever see him mentioned here, but I think both of the Tom Segura specials on Netflix are pretty great. Don't let his friendship with Bert Kreischer fool you, he's a funny guy.

His second special was dog shit. His wife is a disgusting person both physically and mentally.

I heard the leather special received unwarranted criticism

i lol'ed when she said her pussy stunk

That's more of a pretty girl thing to say. I don't need to hear about Linebacker-Amy's smelly vagina

exactly, there's no punch line. everyone already knew it stunk just by looking at her.

It's not a special, but it's worth seeing. Here's veteran comedy heavyweight, Michael Richards delivering a legendary, high-energy set at the Laugh Factory.

That's the one where he developed his beloved and often quoted tagline

I steal material from that set all the time.

Skanks for the Memories

And

Do You Believe in Gosh?

Skanks for the memories is a a timeless masterpiece i listen to it every few months and it is still hilarious every single time.

I do the same thing for Your Mouth's Not Pregnant. Hysterical hour.

Oooooh you're welcome faggot, have a nice day.

All three Mitch Hedberg albums are worth your time.

As has been mentioned, Stanhope - especially - No Refunds, Deadbeat Hero and Beer Hall Putsch. Jeselnik's last one - Thoughts and Prayers was strong - much more "jokes" based than Stanhope but funny.

Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr are good too but, if you're not a Brit, some of the cultural references might go over your head.

Chappelle's The Age of Spin is the better of the two new specials he released.

John Mulaney New in Town and Tom Segura Mostly Stories. Joe Rogan's Triggered was his best work yet.

Gay, gayer, gayest

My bad. I mean Jeselnik dead babies and stuff

Attel

New York Story was great Road Work-Dave Attell

I know that Metzger sucks now but White Precious is hands down one of the funniest specials I've seen. It's sad that Metzger went all SJW after that.

I second this - White Precious was amazing. I don't know if saying he "went all SJW" is the right way to describe his obnoxious behavior these days, but he definitely does tend to suck outside of stand-up.

Yeah metzger is a prime target of the SJWs, don't forget his epic rants shitting on feminist bloggers and defending accused rapists. I think this sub hates on him because he refers to non comedians as civilians and faggy shit like that. He is also not a fan of the words we use to describe his special pal sherrod

the 1978 superman

Back when he was still able to do stand up

Delirious from Eddie Murphy. Raw is pretty great too.

Mostly stories by tom segura is pretty great

'Killing Me Softly' and 'For What its Worth' by Dave Chapelle are the two best stand up specials I've ever seen.

Mitch Hedbergs Comedy Central Special is a classic.

Dave Chapelle: killin' them softly.

The one amy schumer did with the jokes about her pussy. I forgot which one but it was hilarious.

Tier 1:

Anything from Stanhope, Jeselnik. Eddie Pepitone - In Ruins

Tier 2:

Jim Jefferies - Freedumb, Jimmy Carr - Funny Business, Attel's Netflix special i don't remember what the fuck it's called, the new Chapelle Netflix specials.

Everything else is garbage as far as i am concerned.

Richard Pryor Live In Concert is the best stand up performance of all time.

There are a lot of great specials out there but chances are that you might have seen them if you are a fan of the greats like Stanhope and Attell. I would recommend this lesser known Otto and George special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RssRtN_HnMA

Doug Stanhope - Before turning the gun on himself (bootleg set, Manchester uk)

Elaine Boosler: Live at Wembley

Elephant in the room

Bob Odenkirk's album, "Amateur Hour" is short and mostly hilarious. It should appeal to those who like Norm's stuff.

Any Stephen Wright special if you like deadpan, surreal one-liners.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rt5VkpUxIY

He's an acquired taste, and is more popular among European audiences, but Emo Phillips has one of the funniest albums of all time.

He's like a thinking man's Chip Chipperson.

Tracey Morgans staying alive?

Live at the village underground by Robert Kelly, Bare by Jim Jefferies, this clip of Patrice O'Neal berating an audience of deaf aristocrats, Bill Burr and Vos are in it too, Captain Miserable by Dave Attell, Live at Rascal's by Richard Ira Vos, Deadbeat Hero by Doug Stanhope, anything besides Oslo by Doug Stanhope. Tater Salad by Ron White is good. It's the Whiskey Talkin' by Artie Lange is alright.

Bill Hicks is great if you wanna watch a comedy special on LSD and keep a straight face. Neal Brennan sucks and I wish his depression was as incurable as he makes it out to be, because then he wouldn't talk about it and would've offed himself long ago.
