I saw John Mulaney and Pete Davidson. That was a pretty fun show.

Also saw J.B. Smoove years ago and he was hilarious.

Nope. Was always too scared because I was fat and goofy looking, very easy target.

Now I don't want to go because I think stand up comedy is meh.

IIRC he basically went for an hour+ with no break or lull. It was mostly jokes from the CDs, maybe entirely, it was ages ago.

I've seen Rob Schneider, Bob Saget, Chris Kattan and Neil Brennan at Zanies. Loved the venue because it was maybe capped out at like 120-150 total and sat near the stage for Bob Saget and Neal Brennan. Really miss Bob :(

Used to perform standup comedy. Never made it anywhere, but it was an experience. I've been to a few professional comedy shows, but it's been a long time.

My freshman year of college the school paid for one to preform for the students in the new residency halls so I took them up on it. Guy was pretty funny and quick witted he had done some appearances on Comedy Central but I can't remember his name at all. I hope he found success because he certainly had talent.

Once years ago I went to a show up in Tahoe with Sean Kanan. Yes the guy who played Mike Barnes in Karate Kid 3. It wasn't an overall laugh riot but he told some funny stories about filming and hurting himself doing so.
