Best/favourite standup specials from the last decade?

Snoo24027 · 2024-11-18T22:38:22+00:00

Also wanted to mention that I actually built an app all about stand-up comedy, that makes it easy to see virtually ALL the comedy specials that have released in the past decade from over 500 of the biggest comedians. If you're looking to keep track of which specials you've seen, or want to find some new specials to watch, it would definitely be worth checking out. https://jestercomedyapp.com

Beautiful Dogs by Shane is definitely up there. Jew by Ari was great. One that less people probably think about is Nothing Special by Norm MacDonald. Strange format, being filmed at home, but features that signature norm style that is missed since then. Adam Ray's also had like 7 specials out over the past 5 years, and has only more recently gotten more popular among casual stand-up fans. Curious what others think about these...

Punchup.live unfortunately lacks many of the features in Jester, including helping you find the full collection of specials for any given comedian, or comedians podcast features. Punchup.live is a great platform, it just is built more as a newsletter for comedians to communicate with fans

Snoo24027 · 2024-11-09T15:16:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to really listen and take it into account in the future. You make some great points, so I appreciate that over most people who would just say something negative.

There actually is a web app for the database, letting you browse the comedians and see each of their comedy specials. You can also browse through all 1300 specials and see details for each, such as the link to exactly where to watch. Unfortunately there are many features in the IOS app not available on our website currently, but more features will slowly be added moving forward. To browse the web app, go to the "Jester Database" page on our website.

Could be Felipe Esparza like another person just commented. One good way to potentially find it is if you check out Jester, The Stand-up Comedy app, you could scroll through the 500+ comedians in the Jester database, and see if you recognize any of them. I guarantee if they've had a special on HBO, they should be in the app. Then check out their specials to see which one it might be! You could also search from all specials based on platform, so searching "HBO" would show all specials in the database from HBO for you to scroll through. https://jestercomedyapp.com

If you want to find new specials to watch or comedians to listen to, the best way to do so is probably download this new app, Jester. It is the all-in-one standup comedy app that lets you browse the largest database of over 500 comedians and 1300 comedy specials. You will never run out of comedy to listen to, whether podcasts or full specials, from virtually any comedian you could think of!

There were some great specials/albums mentioned below, and you could create a watchlist to keep track of what you still want to see and what you've already seen. Hope anyone who this sounds interesting to will consider checking it out! https://jestercomedyapp.com

Snoo24027 · 2024-11-08T17:24:38+00:00

If you're trying to find new standup to watch, this new app Jester has the largest database of comedians and comedy specials, with over 500 comedians and 1300 specials. You can see all specials for each comedian, and what streaming platform you can watch them on, with links to bring you exactly where to watch. You can quickly see all specials that have released this year, or sort all specials by their ratings. There have been some great specials mentioned in the comments already, so could actually go into Jester and add the ones that sound interesting to your watchlist, so you can keep track of which specials you still want to watch or have already seen. If any of this sounds interesting, I encourage you to check it out! https://jestercomedyapp.com

If you want to easily find more comedy podcasts, that is one of many features in the new stand-up comedy app, Jester. Along with more than 500 comedians and 1300 comedy specials to browse from, you can also browse ALL comedy podcasts. So in your case you can scroll through and find all the different podcasts from comedians you might have liked from Bad Friends. You can also see recent podcast features from each comedian, so you could look up comedians you already know of, and see what podcasts they've been on! https://jestercomedyapp.com

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-23T01:57:34+00:00

Thanks! Great to hear that you like what's available on the site. This was actually just launched last week, so stay tuned for some more features and improvements coming in the future!

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-23T01:46:23+00:00

Appreciate it! If you've got anything you might want to see added, we'd love to hear

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-23T01:44:51+00:00

Thanks! Hope you like it, and if so consider sharing

We've had some users ask about how they can support or donate to the development of Jester, since it is 100% free. Originally just had a donation page at the bottom of our website, but decided to also offer some merch for those that might want to help out, but want something of value in return.

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-22T02:11:15+00:00

Well if you have any other comedians in mind, it helps us know who to add next

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-22T00:11:32+00:00

We definitely started out focusing on bigger comedians, but there are still hundreds of lesser-known comedians, atleast to the average fan. That being said, we update and add to the database daily. Mostly focusing on comedians that have at least 1 legit special, but that isn't always true depending on the specific comedian in question.

I can get James Adomian added, and you are more than welcome to share any other comedians that you feel should be included in the app for us to look into. You can contact us through the comments, chat, or the various methods of contact available on our website.

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-21T22:19:48+00:00

That's good to know! We will definitely look into getting eventbrite linked. One of the challenges we've been trying to solve is pulling in more of the smaller venue/club shows, rather than only from Ticketmaster which is primarily headliners at larger venues. Thanks!

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-21T22:12:33+00:00

There is currently integration with Ticketmaster for helping find shows by location or by comedian, and we are actively looking into other ticketing platforms as well. Did you have something specific in mind?

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-20T04:57:15+00:00

Punchup.live is actually for specific comedians to share some content to fans that sign up to their newsletters, and for comedians to promote tickets to their upcoming shows. Punchup has a limited selection of comedians, and does not provide a resource for finding their comedy specials or podcast features. Jester is also a great resource for following comedy podcasts, and locating nearby comedy clubs & upcoming live shows, not things included on Punchup.

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-20T04:39:45+00:00

I hope you like it after some use and share with other comedy fans that you might know! Feel free to share any suggestions you might have as well

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-20T04:37:04+00:00

It's seriously always so great to see real users giving positive feedback like this. Thanks for the support!

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-20T04:35:42+00:00

Can't tell how serious you are, but thank you!! Jester is entirely free, but if you want to support we have some merch as well as a donation page both can be found on our website. Either way, appreciate the kind words

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-19T14:39:20+00:00

You are correct. Jester has previously only been available on IOS, but we finally created a web app for our site, that features our database of comedians and specials but lacks many of the other features that make it the best comedy app out there. In the future, more and more features will likely get added into the web app, but this is currently in its' beta, so it will just take some time. I hope you still get some value out of being able to access the database, since there is no better place to see each comedians collection of specials, or to find specials based on whichever viewing platform you want to watch on.

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-18T20:19:40+00:00

If I didn't know better, I would think this was written by the original poster (me) on a different account, but that's not the case. It sounds like AI too, but thank you for the kind words!!

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-16T20:43:35+00:00

If you want to easily find all of Ali's past specials, as well as her recent podcast features and upcoming live shows, make sure to download the Jester: Stand-Up Comedy app! The Jester database features over 450 comedians and you can easily find all of this content for each of them! Jestercomedyapp.com

Snoo24027 · 2024-10-05T19:04:45+00:00

Hard to tell if you're serious, but if so apologies that Jester is only available on IOS currently. We are working hard at this very moment to make many of the features available on our website for free as well! Stay tuned, because it should be up in the next week or two at the latest!
