If you know me, then you know that I have an extremely dark sense of humor and I love stand up comedy.As a language learner, being able to understand jokes and cultural humor is a sign that you’ve reached a relatively advanced level because stand up comedy is heavily influenced by culture. So if you can understand not only the words being said, but also the reason that people find it funny, then you’ve got a pretty good understanding of both the language and the culture.So this episode is for all of my stand up comedy lovers who want to put their English to the test and get more familiar with American culture. This list of comedians is in no particular order, by the way. You can also check the description of this episode for a link to a YouTube playlist with some of the comedy specials I’ll be mentioning today.PDF file with links to the comedians mentioned in this episode: https://rb.gy/slk8u0Timestamps:0:03 Shane Gillis0:57 Deon Cole1:30 Jeremiah Watkins2:29 Anthony Jeselnik3:06 Bill Burr4:18 Joe List4:57 Sam Morril5:45 Mark Normand6:29 Tom Segura7:18 Trevor Wallace7:53 Honorable MentionsFor access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon! ? https://patreon.com/realenglishradioJoin my Discord ? https://discord.gg/H53r7JKeqtDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts ? https://rb.gy/kgh1oContact me any time ? https://www.tonykaizen.com/ Hosted on Acast.
