And where are you supposed to have time to hunt up these other cats??? I ain't got that kinda time, So as far as something I can actually find out here in the real world, Without becoming obsessed with stand up (which I'm not)and hunting under every rock for these guys... I, along with most others are forced to listen/watch the ones that are available to the public...And are reasonably easy to find..I hate that for those that have never been discovered...I'm sure that there was a guy somewhere that could hit more homeruns than Barry Bonds, but he was forced to work in a factory to feed his baby he had in High School, So there for nobody ever saw him...I can't help that, nore can I see him playing against the BlueJays tonight...

The bit about who is "straight up funny, not popular" doesn't really work either....If they were that funny somebody would have found them by now, and they would be popular...You may think they are funny, however the masses, or talent scouts/agents, must not...How do you think Dane got popular???

It would be kinda like saying Thomas Jones is the best RB in the NFL..Although you may feal that way, the numbers say no, L.T. is...And there maybe new guys or undiscovered guys who are better, but right now L.T. is the man...Well right now the numbers, and the deals he is landing say Dane is the hottest Comic in the country, not opinion just fact
