Chappelle really is the goat of stand up. Bill Burr is always fucking funny. Shane Gillis is pretty funny. Nikki Glaser is hilarious too.

never understood the hate he gets. I saw that special he did and I really didn't see anything disturbing.

I named 4 comedians, only 3 were male but I'm not entirely sure who you're referring to.

I'm guessing Chapelle. Who was great back in the day. The new stuff? Ehhh. He is less funny and seems out of touch to me, like when he brought Musk on stage, and then proceeded to riff on his own audience for booing

First time I hear about the musk thing but it sounds tricky, yes. He got a lot of flack from the LGBTQIA+ community, which I really don’t understand even after watching all the specials „in question“.
