Recently Jerry Seinfeld came to town to do a stand-up show and I'm not really sure if he's any good at it, the only stand-up from him I've seen are the short clips that they show on the show 'Seinfeld' and their kinda ok imo. Although I do think that the TV show is really good.
However when I do watch stand-up I usually find Bill Hicks, Dave Chappelle and George Carlin to be the funniest. Who do you think is the best stand-up comedian(s) and what do you think about Seinfeld?
Early young Eddy Murphy was funny. I like Carlin and Chapelle as well but like you I don't watch a lot of stand-up.
SvaraRaderaHaven't seen any Seinfeld standup, but I love Louis CK and Aries Spears. I wish Amy Poehler would do standup!
SvaraRaderathey all have different styles, that's what makes them so funny. :)
SvaraRaderaBill Cosby is my all time favorite. And he is amazing live.
SvaraRaderai think his comedy as an actor is a bit better. writers also help!
SvaraRaderaIf anything just go because its Jerry Seinfeld. I'm sure it will be great.
SvaraRaderaOh man, my list is so extensive. Stand-up comedy is one of the only things I watch on TV
SvaraRaderaCarlin and early Murphy is good. I'll just throw down a list of people to check out.
Jack Whitehall
Steven Wright
Demitri Martin
Lewis Black
Mike Birbiglia
Steve Byron
Gabriel Iglesias
Dan Cummins
Josh Sneed
Jo Koy
Big Jay Oakerson
Chris Porter
They all have their own different styles and attitudes and jokes, but those are some of my favorites. I want to do standup one day, and I hope I can be on someone's list of favorites haha. Hope I helped you out a bit.
Seinfeld has a different style, I do enjoy him though. I like Red Foxx, Bill Cosby, a lot of the older guys actually. There's a lot of good stand up and a lot of bad stand up.
SvaraRaderaI think Jerry Seinfeld is more of older people.
SvaraRaderageorge carlin for me (RIP)
SvaraRaderaThat is awesome you got to see Seinfeld.
SvaraRaderaSeinfeld is pretty cool.
SvaraRaderaGabriel Iglesias is the current champ. But vintage Carlin, Dangerfield, and even Bob Hope are the all time best
SvaraRaderaEddy Fucking Murphy. Seinfeld is classic, but that is only because Larry David is god of the universe!
SvaraRaderameh i dont really like seinfield that much. Carlin was Awesome!!!
SvaraRaderamitch hedberg is the funniest.
SvaraRaderaoh, and jimmy carr
In all honesty I never liked Seinfeld. As stand ups go my favourites are Jimmy Carr, Michael Mcintyre and Franky Boyle
SvaraRaderaI've never seen a comedian in person. I liked Seinfeld's show, but when I see him interviewed, he just doesn't seem that funny to me. Didn't George Carlin die? I remember him being on Ed Sullivan when I was a kid: This is the hippie dippy weather man with the hippie dippy weather, man.
