One of the shames about live TV changing the way things are done - Comedy Central used to play stand up (like Mitch) all day, now its just reruns of the Office. There are so many comedians that I'd probably never hear of if it wasn't for sitting around watching the old 80's and 90's classics. The A List was one of the shows that sticks out, along with reruns of HBO's old One Night Stand.

The best.

For a pretty clean comedian who is surprisingly very good - Nate Bargatze.

I must be sexist because I really don't think any female comics are funny as standup comedians. But yet I defend the female Ghostbusters as not being a bad movie. Who knows.

Bargatze really reminds me of Segura, in terms of delivery. Their style is very similar, and definitely works for both - supposed to be seeing Segura here locally soon, which should be awesome.

No female comedians I know can tell funny life stories. Sarah Silverman comes close.

Ellen DeGeneres and Wanda Sykes are the last great female standups.

Does anyone know a single FUNNY one?

Throw out some new comedians, I listen to stand up all the time and I'm looking for some new people to listen to...

How about Matt Braunger? He's not new, but I think he's underrated.

New to me works honestly, I'm sure I haven't heard everything out there.

Bargatze is hysterically funny. He was just in town a few weeks ago and had some new material, it was absolutely terrific. Best part is I can watch him with my kids around because he's not raunchy at all. Love that dude.

Been a while since I've really become a fan of a stand-up, but recently Bill Burr has become one for me. He thinks like I do. He just says it in ways that are a lot funnier than what comes out of my mouth most of the time.

As for female stand-ups, well, maybe it's me, but I never saw one that was really that good. I like Whitney Cummings, but she's not on the same level as any of the best male stand-ups.

I'm going to see David Koechner, Anchor Man fame, tomorrow night in Des Moines. Don't know what to expect.

He has a Monday morning podcast every week, you should give that a look.

Cool guy! I don't know much about his comedy, but I went to college with his sister Joan at Benedictine College in Atchison in the early 90s. David attended Benedictine, but before I started there (I'm not sure if he graduated from there or not).
