Stand Up nomination thread

You were not around probably when dice hit. He was off the charts. If you get offended easy, Dice is not for you, that is for sure .

Andrew Dice Clay was perfect for the time. Young people laughed. Older people found it offensive.
Followed in the footsteps of George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor in that way.

Is some of his stuff bad? Cringe? Doesn't hold up today? 100% yes. But in 1988/1989 "Fromunda cheese" was the punchline that worked.

But "least favorite" ? Have you never seen Andrew Dice Clay?

First standup to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row.
I don't listen to him, but you can deny he was good at his job.

Saw the Dark side of comedy about Clay. Was so popular then it all went away like that.

Cancel culture before the cancel culture we know now a days.

Did anyone mention Gallagher? I think he'd qualify for consideration. Not my favorite thing, but tossing it into the mix.

Beat me to it. Saw him last year at the Funny Bone and he killed it. Clean too. His bit breaking down "It's Five Oclock Somewhere" floored me.

My favorite Michael Jr. skit.

SIAP but Shane Gillis is someone I've enjoyed lately:

Clean with a little edge to him.

Yes, he and Nate Bargatze both have great specials on Netflix.

Redd Fox? If you can find a tape, get it. NSFK, or maybe it is now.
