Years ago, I went out on the town with a buddy and a few of his friends, one of whom was a touring comedian.  He was essentially a nobody.  Nobody could hang with him in terms of any kind of back and forth banter, he was just way too quick and experienced at that.  It was pretty eye-opening.

I've had a similiar experience and until you have that experience, well let's just say it's pretty humbling.

i’ve honestly never heard another comedian ever talk about him. i don’t feel like he’s even in any of the same circles as most other notable comedians.

Seriously?  You think a comedian that is selling out arenas at every tour stop (some multiple shows per day) is not in the same circles as notable comedians?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. 

I think he's very funny but I wouldn't come close to labeling him as an all time great.  That being said, I think, at least at this current moment in time, he has to be a the top of the heap from a financially successful perspective.

yeah i mean i’ve never heard him mentioned by other comedians, never seen him on any of their podcasts, in fact i almost never hear about nate bargatze at all. if he’s got comedian friends then they don’t seem to be anyone i’m familiar with.

Ralph Barbosa.

Is fucking funny. 

He makes me think of Mitch Hedberg for some reason that I can't quite figure out.

I really like smart comedy like Josh Johnson and Sarah Cooper. What I hate is anyone who uses the F word every other word and think that's funny. 

i remember watching margaret cho talking about her vagina like 30 years ago, and we’re in 2025 and that’s still a huge thing in female comedy. just straight raunch, no talent. can’t stand how prevalent that still is.

Comedy is in a weird place because so many people are fucking funny as hell and it's never been easier to digest an unlimited amount of comedic content, in as niche a way as you prefer it.   Dopamine has never been easier for humans to produce naturally than in 2025.

Burr going to Riyadh and people getting pissed off really cracks me up...he's been doing shows in the UAE for 3 years and it's not like they are unblemished from a human rights perspective, either.  But NOW you are boycotting?  Okay.     I've listened to him long enough to know if he ultimately thinks he fucked up and made the wrong decision, he'll own it and do something about it.

Gervais is prob the best doing it professionally these days.
