Who Are The BEST Story Tellers in Comedy
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 10:24 pm
I have to say of course Richard is #1. That is his best talent!! For Rich to be on stage with nothing but a Mic & Mic Stand & paint these amazing visual stories with just his words. Thats Amazing!!
I assume Rich will be voted #1 which he should be but if you like lets make this topic:
1) Rank The Best of ALL Time Story Tellers in Comedy?
OR
2) What Comics Today do you think are great at Story Telling?
* For me.. I really dont have a huge list, I think what I like is Richard's Style of taking his time, never in a rush, painting every detail. Allot of Stand Up Comics seem to rush & or tell sorta short stories! I like Rich's Style of taking 15-20 Minutes to tell a story. I think that is a lost art.
My List:
1) Rich
2) Artie Lange (Today)
3) Howard Stern
I think everyone should check out Artie Lange! He is on Howard's show and wow is he good at telling a story. HERE is a Web Site I found where a guy has posted MP3 Files of a ton of Howard Stern stuff, but everyone check out Artie Lange's Storying Telling ( you will have to register because it is in a members section, after you do check out the "File Sharing" section.)
