Stand-Up Comics I Love

 I need laughter & find the craft of comedy to be fascinating, can not get enough. So here's a disorganized list of talented, funny people I seek out online when I get an itch on my funny bone.

Dave Attell. -  He's so talented, man. He's one of the comics I love. 2014 DVD Road Work,  Hey, Your Mouth's Not Pregnant and the special that made me a fan of his, a Comedy Central show. 

Jim Gaffigan. - Gaffigan on Comedy Showcase, making me a fan for life. Mr. Universe, Jim Gaffigan Show.

You can be struck by a memory or two without any preparation. It makes me wish I weren't sentimental. By the way, I don't have many ex-pals but to you, dear readers, I've spoken at length about one and mentioned one or two more. Some of them I went to school with for ages, so our history, good and bad, is now ancient but still profound, and Goldie is one of those people.
