    Russell Brand, The related article is about addiction. Brand became famous for addiction recovery. He’s gone off the deep end of conspiracy theories.

    Russell Brand? I had wondered how his YouTube views would translate to his stand-up show since they seem to be for different audiences.

    Could be Bill Maher, but I’m going with Russell Brand, who has gone who gone full-blown conspiracy theorist. Both are on tour now.

    Bill Maher

    I have always loved Chris Rock. Saw him live once and he was hilarious.

    Trevor Noah, he always seems to bring it about to himself, it gets tedious.

    Favourite, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr.

    I am going to guess Lewis Black, because I know he’s touring, he has a dry sense of humor and has a Grammy

    I think it is Bill Mahr (sp?). he seems to be pandering to both sides lately. The “I hate Republicans, Trump, and America” money must be drying up and he’s been trying to look more bipartisan.
    But no, I already know who you are Bill, go away. The best is Dave Chappell, no contest.

    Trevor Noah for the guy who needs seat fillers. Joe Rogan has called him out for stealing some of his old jokes.

    Favorite stand up: Norm Macdonald (RIP), Anjelah Johnson, Sebastian Maniscalco, John Crist.

      I LOVE Sebastian Maniscalco!!!!! He is absolutely hysterical. I will watch him in anything:)!

    Jon Stewart done gone woke. I don’t have a favorite cuz I can’t afford going to standup shows, but I like Chris Rock, Greg Gutfeld, and Wanda Sykes.

  26. KeepGuessing57 says

    Bill Maher? I personally watch him but could see him having problems because of his politics which aren’t as radically left as some might think.

    Don’t think I have a favorite contemporary comedian

    Bill Maher. I watched his show for years… and gave up on him this current season.

    • pigasauras says

      This ☝🏾. I immediately thought of him when I read “glut glut glub glub”. Gutfield isn’t as funny as he thinks he is. Fox should hire Tim Allen. He’s good at making both side of the aisle laugh..and he’s an actual comedian and smart,

    My guess is Bill Maher, and I think this is actually about a standup show that is going to be streamed later this month. I don’t think they would bother with seat-fillers if it were just a regular standup gig somewhere.
