That Tosh episode has a few moments where I had to actually turn away. Pretty disturbing episode towards the end.

Surprised no one's commented on this.

I could listen to the guy just talk for hours -- days he guests on Opie & Anthony are must-listen.

saw Rich Vos a week ago at a comedy club....he was horrendously bad. anyone ever listen to his stuff?

[morgadt]

He seemed like he was legitimately pissed off to have to go through a set, and gave up on a bunch of jokes midway through. It was awkward. Maybe just a really bad night.

he was on conan last night and i thought it was pretty terrible. just really tired material. "minorities can make fun of othe races but white people can't, isn't that messed up?" :yawn

and then told that joke that everyone has heard countless times, "if they made a White Man Can't Jump where's the Black Man Can't Swim?"

just awful.

[morgadt]

yeah that joke is pretty over done.

especially if you're telling it

I've seen Chappelle, Carlin (2x), Chris Rock, Louis, and a few others, and I always love seeing a comedy show

Tosh is ok. But his delivery gets kinda old to me. I do like True Stories I Made Up though.

I wanna see Chappelle live. The two comics I'm so glad to have seen were Carlin and Cosby. Carlin because he's obviously now gone, and Cosby could go at any time. Saw them both twice. I'm psyched for Louis this August though. Haven't seen him in person yet.

There's a comedian from Maine named Bob Marley who's pretty funny. I've been listening to him for a few years now. He's one of those local comedians who do references only locals would get but it's not so obnoxious that it turns you off because he's got a lot of other great bits.
