So entering uni has made me rather busy, but I needed some entertainment to fuel my boredom. I came across a stand-up comedy video while absentmindedly searching for things to watch. And so, I started listening to them as I worked and it was great. So far I only know 2, which is Gabriel Iglesias and Jim Gaffigan. Anyone else I can be hearing?

Yeah yeah, there's a whole media deal with him, but that was years after this. Anyhow, he's still good for laughs.

There is also some great guys like Jay Foxworthy (Name spell?), and you might want to check out women as well. Don't know many names off the top of my head. I watch/listen to a lot of comedy, but rarely standup.

Bill is still one of my fav comedians. He's something else as a person though.

Zach Galifianakis live at the Purple Onion is one of the funniest and weirdest specials Ive ever seen, it's on Netflix.

Watch everything by Louis CK and John Mulaney, theyre both hilarious. I've also recently gotten into Sebastian Maniscalco, definitely worth checking out.

Todd Barry's crowd work tour is a good one too. He just goes on stage without material and riffs with the audience.

Demetri Martin has a lot of intelligent jokes, and Dan Cummins has a lot of pranks and quick jokes.

Aziz Ansari is funny, and I like his poking of modern sociological standards
