As a fellow mic'er, there's so much advice I could give (and take) but for a first timer:

-clear the mic stand if you're going to hold the mic
-try to have a punch line or pregnant pause every 20-30 seconds
-don't apologize or make fun of the fact that you're not funny
-don't worry if no one laughs because chances are the audience is 95% comics waiting to go up

So what that means is that while you're waiting to go up you should watch the other comics and laugh at their jokes. It will make you less nervous about your set and maybe have a positive effect on the room.

I think he spends 75% of the time either doing a lovely Cuban impression or an awful Russian impression.

The special opens with a 30+ second standing ovation. It's so loving confusing.

I saw Hamburger last year in Tacoma and he killed. Definitely seeing him again in July. Highly recommended.

Just now getting a chance to listen to Attell on Pete Holmes' podcast. It's really good discussion about current comedy versus club comedy, etc. Check it out.

What lens do you watch Kinison with?

Some of his poo poo is so dumb but his stage presence is loving massive.

Like I'm watching Family Entertainment Hour and the only reason his bit about hating rap music is even half funny is because Ice T is there.

I think he died like a year after this came out. It is not good.

If you ever find yourself doing a bit that is on Dave Attell's one album, you should definitely reconsider.

Nothing is wrong with Attell. I love Attell. It just seems like a bad idea to recycle a bit he used given how huge he is.

David Cross has been doing bits about airports since the 90s. I don't think the joke in the new special is great but it's still funny.

Absolutely nothing is funnier than his bit about the creepy mural at the Seatac airport. I think it's on The Pride Is Back.

Not really stand up but Eric Andre's live show was awesome. I think tonight was the last night of the tour but I assume he will tour again and encourage you to go

I forget who his openers all were but they were stand-up. I mean, Major Entertainer Mike H is pretty alt but the other guys were just trying to tell jokes (mostly dealing with the hecklers screaming about 311 and Harambe).

I'm watching the Rogan special from The Filmore that is on Netflix and there is a guy who must be near a mic because he says "nope" to a lot of premises Rogan says and you can definitely hear him. It is my favorite part of the special.

Yeah he had some good bits that made me laugh out loud and I appreciate that he just had a special and didn't have ten minutes of weird skit based introduction first.

His Gollum was pretty good too. poo poo.

You're forgetting one more important theme of his. Every time I tried getting into Patton's stand-up, I'd watch the first few minutes of a special, get bored, fast-forward at random and, inevitably, the routine I'd stumble upon would be the hilarious "*fart noises* I'm faaaat *fart noises* so faaaaaaat *fart noises*".

Oh yeah. I'm forgetting this thing you didn't tell us until just now that also I don't care about. Woops.

Maybe people were cool with Dave making deprecating jokes about black people because he is a black person but they aren't cool with him making aggressive trans jokes because he is not a trans individual. Crazy thought.

I hadn�t heard anything of Todd Glass until I listened to his recent appearance on Comedy Bang Bang.

Observations:

1) he sounds like Lewis Black and John Gabrus slammed together.

2) his laugh is hysterical.
