Sign up here to draft your favorite stand-up comedians. We’ll have five rounds no matter how many people complain that we should have ten.
Write ups and clips from their best routines required. Remind us why these comedians deserve a spot in permanent rotation.
For the love of all that’s holy, do not mention any comedians by name ITT. Leave names for the draft.

I propose that disgraced comedians be allowed as long as their shit is funny. So many funny disgraced comedians.
i’m thinking of a couple right now! but i won’t name them itt
I take Jeselnik
I’m not going to spoil it, but I’d nominate the guy who said Jeselnik reminded him of a waiter from Medieval Times, and that he just wanted to tell him to shut the fuck up and bring him a turkey leg
we’re drafting based on their act for us personally now in 2020, right? otherwise people are gonna name a bunch of old comics who i’ve never heard and be like, “oh but you gotta understand cause in 1930 things were all ____”
posting to remind myself to decide if i’ll be in
Gonna rail
I used to pick stand up comedians in online drafts. I still do, but I used to, too.

I know who this is. Won’t spoil it either.
Any and all because you will provide a write-up for any pick. It’s great if you mention a comic from 1920. Drafts can in part be about discovering something new from each other. We WANT you to have to say that and then explain it.
Are we focusing on how their comedy holds up now or their significance in the history of stand-up comedy?
There are a few comics that rank very differently depending on that standard.
Whatever you want. You argue why they’re important to your draft. Is it the significance of the single pick? Does it fit into the overall ethos of your collective picks? Etc
so what happened with this
Yeah I was pretty stoked about this.
The Stones bracket has dropped off since Trump got covid
I’ll get us up and running later today.
