I almost totally agree with the previous comment

I watched the Garry Shandling Alone in Las Vegas videotape so many times in the 80's I can't even count. It is utterly amazing how good his stand up is in this special. There is not a week that goes by that I don't quote some sort of joke from that routine. I guess that proves how many subjects he touches on. I happen to like every single minute of the tape; even the stuff that happens before the stand up and after the stand up. You have to love his self-deprecating humor; especially when he continually calls his girlfriend "Patty" in Los Angeles and his buddy "Dave" is always there. I'm paraphrasing: "Hello Patty? Oh Dave it's you. Is Patty there Dave? Oh she's right next to you? Can I speak with her? Oh she's sleeping? No don't wake her Dave." I also love  "My friend Chuck in LA gave me 10 dollars to put on number 7 in roulette. (Watches ball spin and reminds audience not to watch the spinning wheel because it can make you nauseous) Dealer yells Number 7. Garry says "Wow, Number 7, That's  What? 350 dollars? Wow? (looks at camera and says) Now I'll play my friends 10 dollars." This is a funny show. If you can get a copy, watch it and you'll laugh yourself silly.

Stand-up comedy is a form of comedic performance in which a comedian stands on stage and delivers a series of humorous monologues, anecdotes, jokes, and observational humor to entertain an audience. The comedian typically speaks directly to the audience, often addressing a wide range of topics including everyday life, personal experiences, social issues, and cultural observations.
