Hello bad movie junkies, I have a question for you all

[DrSimonCowell]

Hello. all you crazy bad movie junkies who get highs from watching ridiculously pathetic movies.  But I know then terrible films aren't your only form of enjoyment.  I am sure some of you enjoy the theater (not the movie theater, mind you) and going to the arena to watch your favorite sports teams trash the visitors.  Well my question focuses on a form of entertainment some or all of you might have seen:  Stand Up Comics.

You know, those men and women who go on stage and tell things in a very humorous way to make us laugh (or try to.)

I would love to know who your favorite stand up comics are.

Mine?  Well lets just say two of my all time favorites are dead now.  One blew his brains out and the other died of old age.  You got it. Richard Jeni and George Carlin.  I have gone to a few of Carlin's shows and 2 of Jeni's shows.  I tell you. George was a stand up master.  I just loved his routine called Stupid things we say.  That one was all about expressions we say which sounded stupid like "The greatest thing since sliced bread" or "Tell us in your own words."

Alicobarus Nerocosassy.  There you go, I have said something in my own words.  Your turn!  LOL!!!

But in all serious, tell me about your favorite stand up comics as well as your favorite routines of theirs and what they talk about in them.

That is all, bad movie junkies.

Hello, Wyrewizard!!!

The funniest stand-up guy I ever saw was named Scott Jones.  He never made it big, as far as I know, but he put me on the floor holding my sides in hysteria for an hour and a half one memorable evening around 1988 or so.

Not stand up comedy but this is funny:

Indiana, Indiana, Indiana, I am not WyreWizard.

I guess that is why I have never heard of Scott Jones.  What show did you see him on?  Star Search?

George Carlin is still my all time favorite stand-up comic. Damn, I miss that guy. Wish I'd had a chance to see him in person.

Denis Leary's No Cure For Cancer is another long time favorite stand up album. I can quote that thing chapter and verse.

Aw, come on, "Simon".  We figured you out with your first post!

But in answer to your comment about Scott Jones, he came to my college campus and performed for the student body.
He had a large rubber toy named "Sucker Man" that he incorporated into his act, and a slide show tour of America that I giggle
when I think about to this day.

We also got to hear Judy Tenuta (Tenuda? not sure on spelling) on our campus the next year.  She is one funny lady.

Ah!  Judy Tenuta, author of the Power of Judyism.  I can't remember what show I saw her on.  But in that show, I remember she played an according and called up 2 women to join her on stage.

I liked that. And it was WAY better than anything Scarlet Frye ever did.

 I have a soft spot for this Jimmy "Dynomite" Walker album I used to listen to in college

Jimmie Walker: Dyn-o-mite - The Ghetto

It's not great but a lot of fun

I got to see George Carlin live many years ago and I laughed so hard my head felt like it was 'gonna explode! He was a real one-time deal, that guy!

Haven't been in contact with many american Standup-Comedians, but the ones that I watched and liked were Eddie Murphy and Pablo Francisco.
