Rec | SOME PERSONAL FAVES OF MINE:

😃

Rec'd on 🤡 Is standup getting bad or are my tastes changing

James Acaster (v quirky and unconventional, but top tier imo) Michael Che Mae Martin (also less conventional, almost more of a story teller approach) Saw someone mention Nate Bargatze, excellent deadpan You may also enjoy Neal Brennan, used to write for Chappelle’s Show

Standup Suffers from the same thing all contemporary media does

The sheer amount of standup specials, YouTube/IG/TikTok stars, etc. oversaturate our brains, and I think it dilutes our experience. This is surely true of music for me lately - I need breaks from new things pretty often. I think another symptom of it being so abundant is the more you've seen, the harder it is to be surprised by new styles and personalities. I've been a life-long standup fan for as long as I can remember, and gimmicks and fads have always been a thing. But still, every year, something new grabs my attention. It just takes some digging to find the people that tell the kind of stories that make you laugh. Here are some ones I really liked recently: Kyle Kinane - Dirt Nap Jacqueline Novak - Get On Your Knees Sheng Wang - Sweet & Juicy Brian Simpson - Live From The Mothership Chris Fleming - Hell (As mentioned in other responses, just the best kind of weird) Taylor Tomlinson - Look At You Nate Bargatze (any of his many on Netflix)

I have a few i like

A lot of popular comedians I’m not really a fan of. I’m not about ones that are way over the top. Show me your smarts! Josh Johnson is one I love getting the news from. He’s filling me in, in the funniest way. Plus, he’s coming up with new material every week without relying on crowd work. Another I really love is Nate Bargatze. He’s kind of wholesome??? Like, I could recommend him to all ages and he’d be funny. But he’s not innocent, if that makes sense. Chris Fleming is my favorite weirdo out there and I’ll always recommend 🫶 Anyway, I’m brain dead because I haven’t eaten enough today but I hope this helps!!! 💗
