I personally feel its the best medium for comedy. I have plenty of comics I really like as well.

I haven’t paid attention to stand up in a while. The best I can think of are still at the end of the day libs. Fat chance of finding a good historical materialist comedian eking out a living. Anyway, David Cross, Doug Stanhope, and Marc Maron come to mind. But I haven’t seen them in quite a while. For all I know they could have gone kancel kulture krazy, but I doubt it.

Now that I think about it, I’m scared to find out how they’ve navigated the genocide. Definitely stay the fuck away from Sarah Silverman; I know that much.
