Help I'm turning into a comedy nerd

[Tombrien 50]

I didn't sleep last night cos I was lookin up what some comedians have done recently, and interviews, and podcasts of them.
I've never done that before, and I think Earwolf is totally to blame. I've always bin interested in how good comedy gets made, but over the passed year I've grown super interested.

I've got another passion that I kind-of know all about now, and it's lost some magic now that I'm behind the curtain, but I'm still at Stage 1 with comedy. So what's some super faggoty college-boy stuff I should watch about stand-up, or comedians, or how some of these people got so good at what they're doing, etc?

Comedians of Comedy is a must watch

I'd say the community is less support group and more pushers. You got your taste, now you're hooked. Read some books. Patton's is great, David Cross has a good one, Tina Fey's, Sarah Silverman's etc etc.

I really loved the Comedians of Comedy Live at the Troubadour. Great comedy special you can find on Netflix Instant: Dana Gould: Let Me Put My Thoughts in You.
