Life Is Worth Losing is about as good as late-career Carlin gets. Fantastic stuff.

Most folks know the late, great Greg Giraldo for being a roast comic, but did you know he was also fantastic and hilarious outside of the roasts too? I highly recommend both of his albums: "Good Day to Cross a River" and "Midlife Vices."

Burning through all of Netflix's George Carlin specials.
God daisies, when this guy died I'm pretty sure they needed another casket for his balls.

I didn't really much care for Aziz Ansari's first special, "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening", but I really found myself laughing hard at his second special "Dangerously Delicious." Here's a little clip from it:

Aziz Ansari is hilarious. I've only seen his Intimate Moments special and I loved it, but eh, opinions n shit.

Also, to anyone who doesn't like George Carlin

I love that opening. No one was like Carlin.





Bill Burr is such an asshole. He's a correct, smart, and funny asshole, but he's an asshole. =D

Chopstix was right. Finest Hour is gut-wrenchingly funny.

I went to see Richard Herring and Alan Davies at the Edinburgh fringe last week. It was so good.

I really wanted to go see Jon Richardson, Stewart Lee and David O' Doherty but alas cheddar is a thing that I find hard to come by.

God, I just adore Alan Davies. Everything he does on QI is just brilliant.

I don't think there is a more suitable thread to put this video in...
While this is not exactly stand-up comedy, I think everyone can appreciate it.
