My Internet pen pal Rob asked long ago how many comedians I’ve seen. I started to think about it and now I wanted to compile my list. I’ve realized that I love seeing comedians, aside from being fun, I see the true talent to come up with jokes, and punch lines. I’ve studied it and it’s definitely something I want to study some more. So without further adu….my list in no particular order:
Carlos Mencia
Chris Tucker
Kevin Brennan
George Carlin
Dave Chappelle (twice)
George Lopez
Harland Williams
Dane Cook
Cedric the Entertainer
Christopher Titus
Sinbad
Martin Lawerence
Robin Williams
Daniel Tosh Small time comics (5)
Definitely one of my favorite hobbies and passions to watch no-name and talented comedians around the country.
Recently some of my favorite and inspiring ‘celebrities’ passed away for one reason or another.
First George Carlin, a pinnacle comedian of his life time and to this day. I did get to see him live back in Melbourne. Still extremely funny and innovative. You couldn’t have asked for someone so smart and engaging. Kevin Smith said it best in his blog post.
Bernie Mac, another hilarious comedian, and super nice guy. From everything I read about him online, from people meeting him, they only said good things. He was a hard working man, and deserved all the fame and success he had.
LeRoi Moore saxaphonist from the Dave Matthews Band. Another super nice guy that deserved everything he had. One with extreme talent, and the heart of gold. Mandy and I donated to some of his favorite charities in Virginia. We’ll be very sad when we see the Maddison Square Garden Show Stand Up for a Cure, it won’t be the same, but we’ll have a great time for the man above!
Shit like this is why I’m such a huge fan of Robin Williams…that along with him and I can relate with the hair thing….
