Brilliant WFMU article on Shecky Greene

My Friars Club pal just posted photos on FB from a recent lunch w/ Shecky Greene (Jackie the Joke Man also at the table). Shecky was "on" for hours, apparently.

Rory Scovel is a new fave. Pretty brilliant.

Shalewa's the reason I moved to Atlanta (she got me my first job here). She lives in NYC now and her album's about to come out. Here's the titular bit.

having some challenge with the over-use of smart-ass crowd work that i see online lately - has gotten super old for me

just started in on the James Acaster specials on Netflix, holy hell this guy is amazing. he's like Carlin and Seinfeld and Mitch Hedburg all in one. only on the first one but the way he changes the entire performance into being about him being undercover is really incredible

Love him, still haven't watched all of those since my partner does not like him for some reason.

Saw two totally amazing stand-up performances recently, for completely opposite reasons - Sheng Wang and Moshe Kasher.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Friday, 29 March 2024 18:56 (one month ago) link
(Sheng Wang is extremely Hedbergian and composed, in fact it was kind of a shock whenever he said something that veered off his well-crafted material, and Kasher is just a ridiculously quick-witted improviser who can do a whole set off crowd work, even though his material is great too)

new dave attell on netflix made me laugh. how can someone who looks so sleepy be so quick?
― scott seward, Friday, 29 March 2024 20:15 (one month ago) link
glad he's still around, there were times when I almost wondered if he passed because I just never heard about him anymore despite the fact that he seemed to be really popular for a while. I get why Dane Cook fizzled out (not funny) but Dave at least seems like a guy who should be getting consistent voice work. like how is he not in Bojack Horseman or something

ah, sheng wang is the dude with the Costco fashion routine!

Craig Ferguson worth seeing?

I’d see him if I had a shot. He is a comedian that can just riff on what is going on around him at a super high level.

thanks. grabbed tix for his late show Friday night in SF.
― default damager (lukas), Wednesday, 8 May 2024 01:32 (yesterday) link
I’m impressed that Dave Atell has never lost that machine gun delivery that was his trademark and for a guy whose career has been dense constant riffing on jokes, he doesn’t repeat himself all that much.
There is always a big part of self deprecation but the disses are different. Even guys like Brian Regan that are really good still kinda roll though greatest hits a bit.
