OT: Best current comedian?

I saw Dave Chappelle live in Madison, WI about a year before The Chappelle Show started. Got VIP seats and took my brother and a few friends for his birthday.

 

Sat in the front row of tables at a club that held about 50 people. Didn't stop laughing the entire time.

 

I don't consider him a current comedian though. He's pretty much retired.

Last time I saw him, thought he'd fallen off a bit. Seen him live maybe a dozen times.

 

Fun fact- I'm sitting in the balcony with 3 friends and Dave's body guard( Big Country) and manager in the filming of his HBO special "For what it's worth " that took place at the world famous Fillmore in SF. Can catch a couple glimpses of me if you watch closely.

Yeah.  I think he's lost his edge a little bit.

 

He's never really been the same after his exodus to Africa (or wherever he ran off to).

 

Nice.  He was doing a bit about "sprinkle a lil crack on em" in the show that I saw.

just watches Russell Peters "Notorious" on Netflix. He was awesome.

Russell is a world class comedian. There are no world class standups from America, although some of the television "comedians" approach world class.

 

Beside Russ, the greatest comedians in the world are:

 

Tommy Tiernan - Ireland

Billy Connolly - Scotland (although semi retired now)

Danny Bhoy - Scotland

 

Tommy is mentally ill, as he says at the end.

Morgan tilting hard on twitter this morning after Jefferies embarrassed him. Pretty funny to read.

 

Called Jefferies a "small time comic." 

 

I'm under attack from a comic who tells rape jokes, Sulu from Star Trek & an author who writes about wizards. What a morning.

 

 

Piers Morgan Retweeted Ike Barinholtz

Trust me buddy, I will never be owned by a foul-mouthed comic who specialises in rape jokes.

 

LOL. That's how you tilt someone folks.

He's WVU and Ronaldo, writ small here.
