Is there one black comedian

[Harry Angstrom]

I plan to give that feller a try today after seeing the recommendations on this thread.

Elephant in the Room is his only big special.

Patrice O’Neal Documentary Headed to Comedy Central

I hope this improves, because the first 15m have been awful.

Patrice O'neal is the Daddy of them all.

I have been listening to loads of his phone in shows recently, he not only was he funny as fuck but he had an abundance of wisdom.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Fair enough. In that case maybe try Russell Howard and Michael McIntyre?

I love how you think someone who doesn't care for a 'disgusting and offensive' comedian must therefore like bland, mainstream comedians ?? Cos there's clearly nothing in between eh ??

Like others have said, Patrice O'Neal was good - he covered race a lot, but in a deliberately provocative yet ironic way.

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

that doesn't gan on about white people during stand up?

Lenny Henry. He doesn't even mention he's black.

I was just offering recommendations, not everybody has the same taste. Presumably somebody who has a sensitive taste to offensiveness would prefer the two I mentioned to Dave Chappelle.

OK, 1h07m in, he made me laugh out loud for the first time with the "fishing" skit.

Also the original question didn’t specify British...

OK, he just about kept me entertained but he fell a long way short of "brilliant" for me. I'm glad I've seen it, but I won't be out recommending it to anyone and probably won't ever watch it a second time.

Thanks for the recommendation though. Killed an hour or so.

Just did. That one's better.

Billy Connolly just talks about what he's done that day whilst trying to remember what he was talking about. Can't beat natural humour.

I know it’s his act but i love how far off topic he goes. Very clever

 

[fyl2u]

Decent too.

Be a boring world if we all liked the same shit

Personally I think he’s funny as fuck.

I didn't hate it, I just didn't think it was amazing. Kind of reminds me a bit of one of Daniel Sloss's shows on Netflix but not quite as funny and doesn't make you feel quite as uncomfortable as DS does while watching him.
