Jim Jefferies is great🥳.

His impression of Aussies which I can never find again is so good. Would be perfect to drop here right now
I don't think he's B's cup of tea☹️.
He’s ok. But we have way better.
He reminds me of American comedians.
Your opinion on all future topics is dismissed!
Names please.....
I kinda think comedy is like wine and cheese. Everyone has a different palate and preference.
So generally loathe to recommend.
My taste generally skews to biting satire… which probably tells you more about me than anything else.
For a version that even my mum loves, try Tom Gleeson.
💯 Yeah just watch Hard Quiz! So stoked for a new season
You’ve got some stiff competition with some Kiwis though. David Correos is the craziest man alive
Yes...and no. Some cheeses, like blue, are objectively disgusting. And anyone who disagrees has retarded taste buds.
Jk, but still disagree slightly. There's a level of objective-ish skill in delivery, refinement, and insight, that is sorta measurable, imHo.
Completely get what you mean about timing and skill etc.
I suppose what I mean is that just because they are a skilled or successful comedian it doesn’t necessarily follow that you might like their routine or them as a comic.
There are some very successful talents that some people dislike for their own reasons and sense of humour eg Will Ferrell - one friend loves, one friend hates (and they are married to one another 🤭)
Re blue cheese - hard agree 🤢
That vision of pages torn from a book hurts my soul a little 🥺
It's from Dead Poet Society. It's when the teacher has the students rip out the preface, where some stuffy academic explains how to measure good poetry...like how I was explaining comedy. Was hoping someone would get the ref...alas, stuck here with you lot
Oh damn! Missed the ref. Soul is happy again!
Sorry I haven’t ever really seen that movie. Half of it one time in school but other than that, no.
I could tell you a lot about Robin Williams’ life and the most likely reason for his death.
Biting satire sounds good, I'll look him up👍🏻.
I got this at least 🤷

She be an East coaster!
Better than a Least Boaster... I tried
🤔
The implication being whatever side you're on is "least" and your attitude is unduly boastful. BURN
Oof… Don’t know if I’ll ever recover from that roasting!
Best I go jump in the shower to soothe my wounds.
I'm sorry. I just can't joke about American comedy, or American gracious nature in spreading democracy. Those two things are close to my heart
Oi you don’t know what you’re missing out on, mate! Haven’t been any goodies since Kat Williams got his kids stolen, anywho. You might as well have a crack at it!
Name one Australian comedian? Name one English one besides Gervais and Jeffries?
You can't, let alone good ones
An actually reasonably funny comedian you probably haven't heard of would be Wil Anderson
Listened to 3 minutes (at dinner table), and he's pretty funny. Not quite American legend level though, but admittedly that's a verrry high bar 😏
Peter Heliar
Luke McGregor
Rhys Nicholson
Tom Gleeson
Tom Cashman
Nina Oyama
Dave Hughes
You some sort of comedy buff?
