I'm Getting Tired

The woes of the world are wearing me down. I therefore choose to change channels completely today and focus on comedy, one of the few escapes this world permits almost everyone.

There are five comedians whose work I have revered for many years. At the top of the pantheon is George Carlin, whose clips I have featured more than once on this blog. The other four are as follows: Albert Brooks, Gary Shandling, Larry David and Jerry Seinfield. The absurdity of their observational and conceptual humour may not appeal to everyone, but in this fractured world, you have to find relief where you can.

There is a new documentary on Crave called Albert Brooks: Defending My Life. Here is a clip from it:

Enjoy, and forget the rest of the world, if only for a brief time.
