Not yet. I really wish he'd learn to keep his e-mails a bit shorter, though.

No way. That makes them way funnier. You have to read them in his voice with What his emotion would be.

I did, it's alright. Pretty short but good. I've never heard anything from her, not that I can remember, so it was pretty dry and dry humor isn't always the funniest the first time around.

I've listened to a bunch of her stuff. It's low-key but usually pretty funny.

Tig gets 100% Jame approval

girl has had a fucked up summer.

Seeing the guy tomorrow night - anyone attend a show in the last month? I wasn't blown away by the $5 internet download performance so my expectations are pretty low.

when I saw him 2 years ago I was pretty blown away, and since then some of those $5 internet downloads have had some of the same material sprinkled throughout. May have been on the same tour/"campaign" since he claims he discards all material for new stuff for each tour, so he's probably gonna have something completely fresh, more or less.

I saw him last month and thought he was pretty great. All new material as far as I could tell. Todd Barry opening was a nice surprise as well.

will report back

He was pretty good on SNL a few weeks ago.

You think so?
It was OK, I guess. His intro stand up about the old lady at the airport was the best part.
That one skit, when he screwed up the mark blowing the horn the first time it was kinda funny, maybe even the first 2 times were incidental, but then he forced it...

Seeing him in PHX before XMAS. Shit sold out fast up here, and all over, from what I gather.

Good to hear!

the abe lincoln scetch was pretty much the best part.

Show was pretty good last night. My complaint about the last set of his I saw (the $5 download) was that it was too kid-centric. This one was also somewhat kid-centric... The opener was a piece of shit I did not enjoy. This stung all the worse because I was expecting Todd Barry

It's weird being in a crowd full of people just READY to laugh. People laugh way too fucking hard - some of the stuff is contemplative or understated and people are going nuts. I dunno. It was a really good set.

yeah the first maybe 20 minutes of bill burrs set was people laughing hard as hell at really inconsequential things but he kinda dragged the set into deeper water in the last 30 or so and the laughs were huge and really well earned and genuine. its amazing to see a master work a crowd like that..

Seeing him tomorrow night in Phoenix. Fucking chuffed.

yeah, my PHX tix got delayed to today, and I sold em to a friend; sucks shit.
his HBO special is being filmed there this evening, too.

MIGHT still go see him in vegas in a few weeks, but it's expensive now; souled out...fucking scalpers.

finally saw a couple of episodes and this one....oh maaaaaaaaaaaaan.....wow.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Their whole relationship was just crushing.

i havent seen season three yet....oh man that scene though. OOF.

I finally watched Oh My God and it ruled, took it to some next level shit without half of it being about his kids (which is still funny usually)

Oh My God is my fave material from him so far. Dude keeps getting better.

So, opinions on yesternight's triumphant return? I thought the first one was a bit meh, but the second one was gold.

Yup, second one was way better. So glad this show's back.

Dug em both. I wonder why its two a week rather than having it go on for 14 weeks at one per?
