It isn’t an insult to call the late great, Greg Giraldo, a great roaster. Knocking out audiences with one killer insult blast after the last, is what he was great at, making Lisa Lampanelli less interesting than Sarah Silverman pretending to be a social justice warrior like Chelsea Handler to downplay their tits sagging popularity, in a post woke universe, where Amy Schumer struggles to be edgy funny, in her feeble attempt to show her evolved act, without spicing her set, with a Mexican rape joke anymore. Plus, true stand-up is a punchline sprint, not a meandering, act out with your hands with no hard punchlines in sight like Dane Cook for the past 15 years and counting.
