What Comedy Stand-up would you like to see

[LadyLuck]

Ok Folks,

We've got the Jack Singer concert hall booked for April and we're looking to do a Comedy Stand-up or Speakers that month.

We are considering every option and opinion. Im interested to see on who you would like to see in Calgary.

Last year we did Kevin Smith, which was a pretty great turn out.

Dave Chapelle is not available, and Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) has started writing and is not touring right now.


so...WHO do you wanna see!?

[Mibz]

Robert Kelly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kelly_%28comedian%29

For those that remember, he was the 2nd comedian the night of Dane Cook, and the funniest fucking guy there.

You really find him funny?

I watched a few of his skits on youtube and it was just avg to me.

[RickDaTuner]

Mirranda Sings!!!!

[TeamBestBud]

Sugar Sammy...plus he's Canadian!

[C_Dave45]

You'd probably never get Brian Regan up here...but you might have a chance with Russel Peters. If you haven't seen him, watch his "Red, White and Brown" show. freakin hilarious.

[HondaKid]

Ron White
Billy Connolly
Louis CK
Jim Norton

Speaker?

Joe Simpson if he does this type of thing. He has a couple of films on mountain climbing, telling of good climbs gone really, really bad. As well he has written a few books, the most famous I would think is "Into the Void".

Howard Marks, he wrote "Mr. Nice", a true story of his life as the biggest drug dealer in the world at the time. Great read, it must be 450 pages and I read it in a day. Was to be made into a movie as well.

[calgarydub]

Louis CK is absolutely hilarious and I would love to see him, missed out this past summer.


Jim Norton is pretty good, too.

Bob Kelley is a good choice.

Also, Joe Rogan is awesome, and If you follow his blog at all, he loves coming to the Rocky mountains!

Wishfull thinking lol
He's an expensive man, $500,000+ for a show.

Will look into Kat Williams, not sure if he can get across the border with his recent arrest tho.

How many people does the Jack Singer hold? I'd pay some good money to see this man come to Calgary! :thumbsup:

His Stand-up "Weapons of Self Destruction" on Sunday night was fucking hilarious! :rofl:

[JAYMEZ]

^^^ Me too. I think he would sell out in a heartbeat , alot of normal people who dont watch comedies would go to see him. My parents love him as a funny actor.. They would go and they dont know any damn comedians like Dane Cook or any listed above.

Jack singer holds 1800 people, and theres only so much you can charge for tickets. Plus flights, accomodation etc, which is not included in the performance price.

I watched the show on Sunday night too, the man just keeps going and never stops :rofl:

Theres plenty of comedians that are between the $30-50,000 range. Katt Williams is one of them.

[teknical]

The man had open heart surgery and just will not stop.

I'd give anything to see him live once before he retires :nut:


Chances are I will go see whoever comes, I enjoy Stand-up in general.

[Billy_Billions]

Joe Rogan

Louis CK

Jim Gaffigan

Brian Reagan

All said before - just putting in my +1's

[2Valve0]

Katt Williams would be good for the price range.

Let us all know who you finally get booked im down to come out

[bubbley]

They are not going to let Katt in Canada :rofl:

[mr2mike]

Greg Giraldo
David Cross

I believe Giraldo is touring but I missed him by a day in Columbus.

[01RedDX]

[EK 2.0]

Dana Carvey....

[swak]

Id love to see robin williams...

Or bring Bob Saget back.. (i missed him last time :S)

Or find a way to bring George Carlin back to life, and put him on stage.

Anyone who got to see George Carlin live is very, VERY lucky.

[captain134]

Artie Lang and The Killers of Comedy.
I don't think any of them have been here before.

[dino_martini]

Katt Williams, Mike McDonald.

As much as I love Russell Peters...I think he is a little over done now.

[RY213]

Larry David

[holden]

that naked asian guy from "The Hangover"... Dr. Ken Jeong

[VWbloke]

Jimmy Carr

I know at least 100 people who would buy tickets immediately. He is one of the best comics out there right now.

I can't believe he's a doctor turned comedian.

Yes !!

[flipstah]

Dr. Ken Jeong
Katt Williams
Jimmy Carr

BOOK IT! :thumbsup:

OR if it's possible, David Leary and Jerry Seinfeld. Don't think they do stand-up anymore...

[LadyLuck]

Trust me, if it were in our budget, Robin Williams would be my first pick for sure

[bubbley]

Sean Banerjee

[mr2mike]

Thanks for the Kims of Comedy.

There's been a definite lack of asian comedians.

Margaret Cho doesn't cut it.

[LadyLuck]

^ there really hasnt been that many stand up comedians coming thru Calgary over the past year.

Whatever we get, its gonna be something that sells out for sure. Ill keep everyone posted.

Thank you all for the suggestions, if theres any other ones that come to mind please post them.

[Supa Dexta]

Does Nick Swardson have a good routine? I know hes got some pretty funny stuff.

Seinfeld was here in June and playing in Vegas in July. Definitely still does shows. Absolutely hilarious. Still can't believe how funny he was. Seeing Russell Peters a week later was actually disappointing by comparison.

To add some content: Would love to see David Cross, Jim Gaffigan, or Brian Regan.

[signature7]

George Lopez?

I don't think Larry David does stand up (not counting the pilot of Curb), I think that was way before Seinfeld, even then I don't think he was the greatest at it, told jokes and if you didn't laugh he'd literally say, "fuck you" LOL. Story goes, he wrote a bunch of jokes as a bday present poor as hell looking for heated alleys in NYC in case things turned for the worse) but sucked at telling jokes, so Jerry told them and had a standing ovation at the party.

[LadyLuck]

Thoughts on Tracy Morgan please, working on that one right now :D

mvwHcaIus6Y

He's done about 7 season on SNL, tons of movies and also has 3 other ones coming out in 2010: Death at a Funeral, Nailed and a Couple of Dicks.

Thoughts and comments please.


Many thanks!

[beecue]

He annoys me like crazy, especially on tv.

[Jeremiah]

I would pay to see Tracy Morgan anyday

[Disoblige]

Not a fan of Tracy Morgan, at least from that video anyways. Need more stuff than just dirty jokes for me. And they weren't even that funny.

Although I agree with this, after watching the Tracy Morgan YouTube, it made me miss Russell Peters.

[lil*tymer]

Saw Tracy in Edmonton earlier this year. Was all right, but nothing special. Alot of racial, black jokes, borderline racist. Which is somethng i can't stabd with most black comedians out there.
