Stand-Up Comedy

[Eoin McLove]

Is it on Netflix? Moving in to a news place in a week or so and will get reconnected. Could do with a dose of Stew.

Stewart Lee - "Basic Lee - Live at The Lowry" - on YouTube.

Might want to get on it sooner rather than later - I imagine that it'll be taken down fairly sharpish again.

I only saw it went up earlier. I'll give it a gander later

Watched it there. As with all Lee, it's a struggle at times but worth the effort.  Even the jazz bit, a struggle at times, but worth it. I liked the JK Rowling bit, too. A struggle at times, but worth it... etc.

This is pretty good. Ryan Goodcase, hadn't heard of him before (apologies if I've missed him here). Dry, kind of stoner style delivery:

Ricky Gervais playing the 3Arena next March tickets on sale Friday. Managed to get them in the pre-sale this morning can't wait the last show last year was brilliant.

Watched the new Nate Bargatze special. Grand harmless fun as expected but not as funny as Hello World. Maybe never previously having heard of Afrin was too big an obstacle!

Watched the new Ari Shaffir. Few laughs but nothing near exceptional.

Not stand up comedy per se but after many, many years I am still obsessed with the Ricky Gervais podcasts, 'guides to' and XFM shows from years ago. 

One thing I could never get clear though is whether Karl Pilkington is actually a low key comedian in idiot clothing. I have heard him repeat lines from old XFM shows or podcasts in interviews and such years later, but not sure if that is a manager telling him to do so.

In any case, if anyone hasn't heard these old podcasts, I feel jealous for you.

Watched the new Bert Kreischer and Bill Burr specials this evening. Neither's great but I didn't expect the Kreischer one to be the better of the two.

Not familiar with Kreischer's stuff, but agree Burr's latest is lacking something.

Watched Burr and thought it was fine but just more of the same. I will never watch a Bert Kreischer stand up.

Trying to sort tickets for Shane Gillis tomorrow. Was at the last one which ended up being Beautiful Dogs.
