Comedian update

Anthony Jeselnik the stand-up comedian and television writer. Jeselnik was named one of Comedy Central's breakout comedians of 2009. Jeselnik has stated many times in advice to practicing beginning comedians that he believes the most important step in the career is learning to continue acts even when no one is laughing, because there is no better practice against heckling. In 2010 released his debut album, Shakespeare


(Punchline Magazine named his album Shakespeare the best comedy album of 2010.)  DO NOT BUY until you listen to some examples of his comedy on youtube on sample it on itunes. 

I bought his CD just because of his rating on punchline magazine.com.  However, this was a huge mistake on my part.  

In no way did I think this album deserved to be the album of the year in 2010.  I guess punchline thought it was great just based on the fact that after every joke Jeselnik will tell you himself that the joke was awesome or the best joke.  Half of his standup is either complimenting his jokes or telling you a story about how someone didn't like one of his jokes. 

However I do think he does a good impression of Dane Cook.  He even looks a lot like Dane.  I can't stand Dane Cook by the way either. 


I believe the ones that should have replaced this one should have been the ones below


BILL BURR – LET IT GO
Though it seemed nearly impossible for Bill Burr to outdo his last release, Why Do I Do This? from last year, he’s done it. Let it Go finds the respected comedian in top form.



 BO BURNHAM – WORDS WORDS WORDS
If you had residual doubt as to whether Bo Burnham was not as much a comedian as he just was a YouTube star, his newest effort should fix that. Burnham combines piano and guitar based songs, beat poetry, hip-hop and straight stand-up to deliver wall-to-wall laughs.

 

Ironically both of these were on Punchline magazines.  The 10 Must-have stand-up comedy DVDs from 2010.

The best one out of them that is not even listed on punchline because it was only a digital download album in 2010 was Brian Regan's All By Myself.   
It was released on December 7, 2010, so that had something to do with it to to not make the punchline magazine's website.  However, if you search punchline you won't fine Brian Regan review or other items anywhere on the site. 

All By Myself, was everything I hoped it would be.  I had seen him twice on tour in 2010 and it was awesome. For the second show in August in New Orleans he had dyed his hair blonde which made him gets tons of laughs at the beginning of the show before even speaking a word.

Album to check if you haven't is Josh Sneed's Unacceptable on itunes.  Its great stuff.  Check out some of my funny videos.  Click Here.

Comedy Rhyme


The perfect gift to the public could be through entertainment and laughter,


It is what many of us seek after.


It can be found in many different ways,


Stand-Up Comedy shows is my choice everyday and in everyway.


Shows come in such a variety,


Clean Shows from Brian Regan or the politically incorrect Ralphie May.


To take an situation and make it funny can be seen as talent,


This can make an audience wait for that moment.


Moment when they arrive on stage and take the microphone,


Use that tool to fuel the laughter, applause for jokes that were homegrown.


The club, theater, center, complex, or the stadium,


Forums that sell attendance for income.


Ticketmaster or stub hub are both a source,


Source for that ticket to see the comedy workhorse.


Internet also gives its appreciation,


Sites for each comedian by the dozen.


Fan projects to the mainstream of punchline magazine,


Presenting reviews and links on the comedian’s routine.


Fandom will give way for them to make to the flat screen,


Comedy Central, Home Box Office is the where the specials can be seen.


Specials that on DVD can be the best gift,


A gift that can entertain and uplift.


Not only through video but some choose to do comedy in a book,


Ron White’s : I Had the Right to Remain Silent.


Some use stand up as their gateway into Hollywood,


Jim Carrey, Ray Ramono, and even Dane Cook.


In everything their winners and losers,


Box office flops to the hits or bankers.


Dreaded “Good Luck Chuck” or the highlight “Hangover”


Stand-up talent gives material for the comedian, author, and actor,

All in the interest to entertain the audience with the perfect gift.

The Philip DeFranco Show


You tube has shows that resemble TV,

One of the best is a show hosted by Philly D.

Gives you the news that he thinks is worthy,

You don’t have to agree.

Agree with his views or comments,

Just enjoy what the TPS presents.

Variety with Three Channels

Sxephil, PhilipDeFranco, and Like Totally Awesome

He gives us words, stuff, and things.

Along with laughter, drama, and lashings.

With over a million subscriptions,

He gives a short glimpse of his thoughts from his station.

Adore or Hate him doesn’t matter,

Think his stupid or even clever.

He fuels off both of it and enjoys the point of view,

Nothing beats a good Philly D argue.

Man is primetime now with his own gear,

Sayings from Phil that you can wear.

“Common Sense is Dead”

“Douchebag of the day”

“Bitches be crazy”

“You have just been Phill’D in,”

“Peace, love, and sammiches.”

Just give some money and its your property,

Property of the TPS’ army.

An army commanded by a man of talents,

Comedian, writer, director, producer, and entrepreneur,

Apple addict with the Mac, iPhone, and the iPad.

Steve Jobs must be your second Dad.

Monday through Thursday is his schedule,

Let hope he trashes the entertainment systems to stay with the ritual.

At least we know if Katy Perry makes an appearance,

A TPS topic is will be at a close distance.

So tune in later for this Phil appreciation is to be continued,

Til then you have been Phill’D in,

You’re Welcome.
