As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of Stand Up Comedy routines and I have seen quite a few over my years. I have seen everything from Robin Williams to Ricky Gervais, George Carlin to Chris Rock and Russell Peters to Dane Cook. So, I was having a think to myself and thought that it was about time we had a thread for Stand Up Comedy. It may just be me talking to myself but I am willing to follow through on that if other people are willing to read.
Still, for the purposes of getting this thing on the road, I guess it is about time to start. So, without further ado, here is the first review of this thread. Please feel free to comment on anything I have said or just add anything else related to stand up comedy.
Aziz Ansari is someone that you may or may not be familiar with but it is my hope that after you read this you will go out and watch this show. But before we get to that, let's have a little look at who this guy is, shall we? Aziz Ansari, as some of us may realise, has been all over the TV for a while now. It may be that I am a huge Scrubs fan but the first time I realised he had any great comedic talent was in the 8th season of Scrubs. He played Ed the lazy intern and I can remember being disappointed when he was cut from the show. Still he has done many a show now including Parks And Recreation on NBC. Still, he is not someone who a lot of people from this side of the pond have heard of and I have recently made it my life's mission to spread the word of about Ansari. It is only fitting that I should be starting with this one because it may be the funniest Stand Up show I have seen in a long time.
This show, was just something that I happened upon. I spend a lot of time trying to find new Stand Up comedians and their respective shows. Aziz Ansari was one guy I found when I was trying to find promising new comedians on the net. Having recognised his face from Scrubs, I downloaded his Stand Up show and my mind was freaking blown.
The best part of this show and routine is how down to Earth Aziz is. He really seems like a normal person who has just gotten lucky doing what he loves. He seems like the sort of person that I would love to get a drink with and that is the comedy that really happens to resonate with me the most. His style is something to behold, to be fair. His delivery is absolutely flawless and his material is out of this world. You may have heard his Harris bit and if you haven't I definitely recommend finding it on Youtube and testing how much you may enjoy the rest of the show. Still, there really is something in there for everyone and I am sure that if you are anything like me, then you will love it. His comedy styling really lends itself to his material in that it accentuates his nerdish/geeky side. His tales of Kanye West, his room-mate tribulations and his cousins will actually have you reeling with laughter.
Honestly, I cannot recommend this Stand Up show enough. But here is what the kicker is. My big brother hates Stand Up comedy but when we sat down to watch this one, his face lit up for the full routine. Aziz Ansari really has some top-class material and it would be a shame for you to miss out on it.
