• louis CK
• Dave Chapelle

I'll probably get killed but Louis CK don't do much for me.George Carlin didn't either.

you should. Thats a good thing about where I live; seattle gets A listers and has your A- level clubs here too. This year i've seen OR had the chance to see

• Aziz Ansari
• Bill burr
• Dave Chapelle
• DL Hugley [he was here this weekend]
• Lavell Crawford [in a few weeks i'm going to see]
• Tony Rock
• john lovitz
• Jim Norton
• Damon Wayans
• Chelsea Handler
• john oliver
• David Allen greer

etc...a LOT of comedians who started in standup go back to it over and over because its how they make continuous money and how they perfect their craft. Seinfeld is the biggest baller in comic history probably and still tours.

Plus, new ways of distributing media [NETFLIX even] has made it easier to get your name out on a low budget...yeah youtube can kill crowds but it ALSO gets your name out faster than before.

If not for youtube Hannibal Burres would still be "that guy who played the cop on bad neighbors and wrote on SNL for a minute"

it's funny, b/c I listen to Foxxhole and the other comedy XM stations in my car all the time, but I can't nme too many stand-up comedians these days.

Wish I could name 5. Maybe some good suggestions in here I can check out.

yeah, whats helped me is heavy netflix standup watching [i have a thing where I will click ANY standup on there, and give them fools like 4 minutes or one "this is awful" moment until i move on ]

and randomly going to a comedy club here in seattle with my girl...it makes for a good date night
