Stand Up’s Greatest

The ultimate comedy show would not only host the greatest comedians alive, but the best who’ve ever been. Here’s my attempt at just that.

We’ll start with Scotland’s Danny Bhoy, perhaps the most amiable comic ever to take the stage. (P.S. You might recognize someone in the crowd around the 3 minute mark.)

Next we have Tommy Tiernan, the pride of Ireland. Tommy executes a marvelous piece here. Watch how he sets you up and then uses outstanding callbacks.

You can’t have a great show without the grand master. Here’s George on religion.

My personal favourite is Rocky Laporte. Rocky had a pilot episode for a sitcom that didn’t quite make it. If it had, you’d be looking at Ray Romano.

Okay, another by Rocky.

And last, we have the big man for our closer. This guy really was the best.

I hope you liked the show.

Cartoons

As you know, with modern day technology everything is easy. So I hired a cartoonist to make up drawings and he only charged 75 bucks each. Isn’t that amazing? (Click to make larger.)

Here’s a joke that didn’t work in stand-up because it requires a visual.

A look at Asian drivers.

This one discusses raising kids in a modern world.

One about dating.

And one to help with not taking life too seriously.

This last one was drawn by a different artist. It’s from many years ago when the women’s movement was hitting stride. It doesn’t have the same effect today but is still worth a peek.

Okay, one more. The concept behind In a 50/50 World was to highlight natural differences between the genders by using role reversal.

Hope you enjoyed the cartoons.
