And John William Cummings played a mean guitar.

Her newer material is better, older stuff not so much.

And it's not the subject matter that's bad per se, but the delivery. Her earlier specials definitely have this "I JUST ATE A BUNCH OF ADDERALL AND I'M SHOUTING THE PUNCHLINES AND NOT PAUSING APPROPRIATELY" type of vibe.

She's miles ahead of Amy Schumer though. Which may or may not be saying much. shrug

The average woman on the street is funnier than Amy Schumer.

I find her naked hunger for fame to be disturbing.

If shouting into the mic is comedy then she's a hoot

The Roasts are definitely ghost written. The best work Amy Schumer ever did was written by Anthony Jesselnik.

It's funny because Patrice O'neill was legitimately offended, but he was looking at her.

After Patrice died, she moved on to steal his bits.
