I'm not really into standup for some reason. I respect it, and I've seen lots of bits that I laughed at, but it's just not my thing. Like, I'd never turn on a standup special if I was looking for something to watch -- I'd choose something else 99.9% of the time.
I'm willing to bet that if I was hardcore into standup, there'd be DOZENS of famous comedians, who by the way don't have anything else going on at all, who I wouldn't think were funny at all.
Joe's standup doesn't do it for me. Sounds like most of us agree.... but he's selling out shows all over the place. So "honestly he needs to give up on the standup act" that just doesn't really make sense. People are buying tickets and laughing.. de gustibus non est disputandum
