Bought tickets to see Amy Schumer in early March and Norm MacDonald in early May.

I was looking at the venue for Norm MacDonald and between now and May they're hosting Dave Attell, Tom Papa, Paul Mecurio, and Kathleen Madigan.

I know I have to be really disciplined with my money this year, but hmmmmm.... thinking

Dave Attell is horrible imo.

Kathleen Madigan is pretty good. Norm McDonald is a very acquired taste.

No idea about those others

I think Attell is very.... hit and miss. He is probably the easiest for me to pass on.

My first impression of him came from his show on Comedy Central, which I didn't care for at all. Over the years I have heard him on satellite radio and places like Youtube and I've warmed up a little bit.

Norm is definitely a polarizing guy, haha. Total love or hate. I'm in the love column.

I actually liked him on his old show Insomniac. But as a stand up comic I think he's horrible.

Dana Carvey really impressed me during that one TV special he had, I'd go to see him if I ever had the chance.

He's never really been known as a stand up comic and kinda disappeared after SNL and those Wayne's Worlds movies, but his stand up special was surprisingly very funny imo.

Margaret Cho is also pretty funny imo, she has a lot of gay followers...but I'm not gay and I find her to be one of the funniest female stand up acts out there. That one song where she sings about her pussy...omg.
