^ I actually enjoyed it which shocked me because Seinfeld is so stale and dated now, and when I saw previews for this one it looked pretty dire.

There just isn't enough out there for him to be my favorite, but he's underrated and still one of my favs.. And the clips that are online are when he's in his 90s.

I don't enjoy many stand up comedians, but I love Bill Bailey. I also think Dave Gorman is extremely underrated.

Stewart Lee is the best. Dave Gorman at his best is second to none. I also enjoy Sean Lock a lot, RIP!

Used to love Jasper Carrott back in the seventies. He will be totally unknown to anyone outside of the UK I imagine but he brought a much ruder style to British stand up comedy but without it being all out crude (or sexist) as many were at the time. He once recorded a song called Funky Moped with Jeff Lynn which actually made the British charts. It's absolutely awful but actually sold on the B-side called 'Magic Roundabout' a piss take of the famous French subversive political animation that was translated into English in the UK and presented as 'kids tv. I still to do this day can't help thinking of lines such as 'there's only one way to kill a mole,.... blow it's bloody head off!' and 'has anyone seen my camel?'

BTW his daughter is the actress Lucy Davis who appeared in The Office (UK version)

Has anyone in here listened to the "AI" stuff someone did masqueraded as Bill Hicks or George Carlin?

I'm wondering when someone will make one of Mitch Hedberg (if they haven't already). This only came to my attention a few days ago.

Hi,

I do wish that some of the Redd Foxx and Richard Prior live shows were available. They were, at least the show I saw, a fairly strong XXX rating and it was about all comers ... not just about this or that. And it was funny, although these days, a lot of folks will think it is improper and be scared to release it.

Robin Williams, also had a lot of quips that HBO cut, and it showed in the shows when you could easily tell that that there was a cut for whatever reason and Robin's dialogue was not "continuous" and seemed to have a burp of some kind. Perfect example is him getting close to finishing up a joke, or story, and cut ... the next shot he is drinking some water before continuing.

But, nowadays, until this desire to censor everything and attack everything else, I doubt that a lot of comedy can stand up in one piece, specially with various countries taking out contracts on their artists and other folks ... the sickest of the sick in my book.

I have been able to find a ton of rare Mort Sahl shows (and interviews) by writing to Universities, Archives, etc.. Many will even digitize them for free.
