Some Young Comedians You Need to Know About
Since I was a child, I have dependably been an aficionado of stand-up comedy. In the 70’s, it was Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and George Carlin. In the 80’s, it was Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinison, Robin Williams and Andrew Dice Clay. By the 90’s, I was mature enough to venture out from Cincinnati to Hollywood and visit the world renowned Comedy Store. Here, I could see legends and up-and-comers perform live in a little, personal room. Also, by and large, I had the capacity rub elbows with them a short time later on the yard. At this very moment devotee of comedy and admirer of stand-up comedians, this was paradise.
With the coming of the web, and particularly YouTube, anybody can now watch a huge number of hours of stand-up comedy, from the classics to the most up to date, freshest entertainers on the scene. I’ve turn out to be particularly enamored with a modest bunch of advanced comedians who are interesting, cunning, tense and unique. Here are five of my top choices:
Anthony Jeselnik
This new comedian began as an essayist for Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O'Brien before he made that big appearance all alone sake. His conveyance is dry and greatly smart. His topic reaches from jokes on AIDS, fetus removal and children to connections and gang. He helps me to remember Steven Wright, but much edgier. Despite the fact that numerous individuals would consider his jokes to be hostile, Jeselnik, himself, never appears to ever irritate. We realize that he’s clowning, and his gift is that his exceptional conveyance permits him to escape with anything he says.
Mitch Hedberg
I had the chance to meet Mitch a couple times before he kicked the bucket from a coincidental medication overdose in 2005. Mitch was awesome at one-liners and utilized his long-hair stoner persona further bolstering his full good fortune. He visited the nation always and constantly made himself open to fans and admirers after every show. His jokes were easy to take after, but amusing in light of the fact that they were in view of encounters that we all have consistently. He once said, “An elevator can never be broken…it just gets to be steps. The sign ought to say, ‘Elevator broken. Sorry for the comfort.’” There are loads of his Comedy Central appearances on YouTube. Look at him!
Joe Rogan
Rogan is another fellow that I had an opportunity to hang out with in 2002. He frequents the Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood and is your typical normal “Joe”. He began assuming a little part on “News Radio” with Phil Hartman, Dave Foley and Andy Dick. He then proceeded onward to host shows like Fear Factor and The Man Show. Many individuals don’t understand that he is a colossal stand-up ability. Rogan’s comedy demonstration is similar to a controlled Sam Kinison. He doesn’t generally tell “jokes” essentially, but really mentions objective facts and weaves them into his own stories. The outcome is an interesting, unique, tense execution. At his site, www.joerogan.net, he shares a free week by week feature podcast that normally runs a few hours and is continually fascinating and enlivening.
Kathleen Madigan
I saw Kathleen on Jay Leno one night. I kept in touch with her an email and after two weeks, we were having a beverage together at a Dave & Busters in Pittsburgh before one of her shows. Later on, we hung out in Los Angeles where she lives. Things didn’t generally work out for us impractically, and last I listened’s, regardless she single. For the record, Kathleen spares the greater part of her cleverness for the stage, in light of the fact that, all things considered, she truly isn’t exceptionally entertaining. Sorry Kathleen!
The Sklar Brothers
Randy and Jason Sklar are indistinguishable twin siblings who have been performing stand-up as a group for more than ten years. They are extraordinary on the grounds that you infrequently see a couple of comedians performing together, not to mention twin siblings. Their demonstration is refined to the point that when watching them, now and then you overlook that you’re watching two individuals, as opposed to one. They flawlessly finish one another’s sentences and presentation perfect timing. I’ve never appear them live, but I trust that sometime I’ll have an opportunity to catch a show and meet them in individual.
