Are you familiar with Mitch Hedberg? He's one of favorite comedians, and I'm so bummed that he's not around to continue with his humor. I have a few of his cd's and they play randomly on my ipod. It's such a jolt to go from a song to one of his stand up bits like this:
No matter how many times I've heard his jokes, they always make me laugh. Something about them is so satisfying. I went through a big stand up comedy phase around nine years ago. I devoured all the specials I could find on tv, and I desperately wanted to go see some live performances but at that age I just couldn't afford it. If only youtube was around, I would have spent too many hours watching all the stand up clips I could find. I remember when, in high school, I realized I could find stand up on napster (yes, I said napster). Who did I download first? Well, Bill Cosby of course.
One thing about comedians that I really admire is the way they analyze the world around them. I like to joke that I'm a bit pattern obsessed, and I am, and I think it makes for interesting observations of my day to day interactions. When I watch stand up, I notice that the comedians I most enjoy are the ones who comment on those daily interactions and notice the quirkiness in some of our patterns.
Do you have any comedians you can't get enough of? I'm always on the lookout for more laughter, send 'em over!
