Four and five might be nods to our heroes more so than really among the best standup specials of the year... I'd probably give those spots to Zach Galifinakis and Mike Birbiglia (I'm not sure if Mike's new off-broadway one-man-show has aired as a special though... I'm sure it will at some point.)<br/><br/>But I have to agree with all the Louis CK comments... By this point in his career, he's had something for everyone, and it's all genius. Louis CK shows and Bill Burr shows are the hardest I've ever laughed. (note: I still haven't gotten a chance to see Brian Regan live, definitely looking forward to that). <br/><br/>Good list!
