Just watched Ali Wong on Netflix. Who is your favorite comedian and why?
One of two of my fav funny folks are
Robin Williams...reasons are self-evident.
and
Bill Bryson...a satirist, an American who lived in England from a long time; thus his writings and speeches provides an Eagle-Eye-Outsider-Insider-Comical-View of America
I could only watch her until she began discussing her genitals and sexual practices. Grossed me out.
I feel the same way about male comedians, who mostly seem obsessed with their own genitals and think we should also be fascinated by them. We're not.
Btw did you know trae crowder is coming to Durham this fall ....
Lately I've been enjoying Patton Oswalt, Mike Birbiglia, & John Mulaney. I have started watching the Ali Wong specials on Netflix and I'm enjoying them as well. Dunno if I have an all-time favorite comedian, but one of my favorite stand-up comedy albums ever is Robert Klein's "Mind Over Matter" from 1974.
Favorite in my younger years: Robin Williams.
Favorite today: Tie between Jon Steward and Satirist Bill Bryson.
