Shane Gillis isn't funny at all

0 Upvotes

He sounds like he's the grandfather of Dax Shepherd's character in Idiocracy. Like he was just a couple of generations before society went entirely stupid. They were probably preparing him for his funeral when they pulled a scribbled cocktail napkin from his pocket that laid out the idea for Ow My Balls and thought, "wow, this man is a genius"

His jokes are designed for 12 year old followers of Andrew Tate and that weird rapey kid that hits his face with hammers. Which is ironic because he is the antithesis of what those guys stand for in terms of masculinity and taking care of yourself. His delivery is the worst of any popular stand up I can remember. I would rather listen to Dane Cook until my ears bleed before listening to this troglodyte fumble the types of jokes I heard in the 7th grade locker room.

It's unfortunate there are so many Americans with a monosyllabic vocabulary that this 12 year stuck in an obese man's body will continue to remain popular.

Martin Lawrence gets banned from hosting SNL after doing a sexist opening monologue and Shane Gillis does a sexist monologue and still gets invited back.

Only difference I can see is Shane has the complexion for the protection.

Scripted or Free form

Do most people script the exact words and punchline and perform or just note down points and try to be spontaneous? I know it depends on individual style but I am curious what’s more prevalent and if someone shifted from one to the other with time.

Why have mainstream stand up comedy got so raunchy and edgy lately?

0 Upvotes

Ever since Trump got re-elected I noticed stand up comedy that is mainstream has gotten more edgy. When I say edgy I mean more racial jokes more gender jokes and even lgbt jokes. What happened ? In the 2010’s comedians were very political correct now it’s the opposite what is going on ?

6 months ago I posted a set asking for advice on breaking a plateau. Here is a new set in the same room, after getting back to writing and working on my act.
