Your favorite stand up comics... (2 Viewers)

I've seen Jeff Duhnam live in Atlantic City. Had no idea he cursed until we saw that show. Tried to watch him after seeing him live and it is rather boring at this point.

Bargatze is interesting. When he hits a joke well he is hysterical. But the cadence he uses and the 'I'm an idiot," style can get dull quickly.
 
Shane Gillis at the ESPYs was something. I didn't watch live, but his segment was overly hyped up by NFL MEMES. Give it a 6/10.
I find him funny in different formats- his conversational humor (like podcasts) and his skit humor are my favorites. I find his “stand up” skills to be hit or miss. He’s a dude that tends to be funnier and more appreciated the more familiar one is with him. I could totally see how people with mild exposure to him have lukewarm feelings about his stand up
 
The problem with Gillis is that he's not in the sports world. Athletes won't accept an outsider roasting them. Athletes and their SOs also aren't known to be the brightest group so a lot of the jokes probably went over their heads. The last thing is that his material just wasn't that good. Norm MacDonald could bomb but still be funny in the process. Gillis doesn't quite have the chops to pull that off yet.
 
I love that the four digiters did not love Gillis. That’s the difference with us three digiters, Shane killed it. i’m guessing you guys that didn’t like it also thought Gervais bombed the golden globes.

Suffice to say he won't be asked back. That kind of setting isn't really his strong suit anyhow (see his SNL) appearance. Thought the monologue I saw was funny but wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
yeah, they probably needed Kevin Hart there to host it and suck up to the machine

he’s in the joe rogan mma world, hangs with nate diaz, had mcaffe rolling, and played college football at army for a year so i’d say that puts him up there with half their normal hosts

I think he upset the room with his friends wife/WNBA joke. Pretty much put egg on the face of the audience.
