The best comedy specials taped in Denver, from Amy Schumer to Tom Segura (via thknwco)
Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we will offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more.Absolutely, given that traditional stand-up relies on audience reactions to sell the experience, and that the mood of the crowd can dictate tone. Great sets rise above the specificity of their audiences.
Over the years, we’ve become somewhat of a mecca for stand-up albums and specials and, as such, many of my all-time favorites were recorded here. Maybe you’ve seen some of the big, recent shows taped in Denver: Brian Regan’s 2018 special “Nunchucks and Flamethrowers,” or Tom Segura’s “Disgraceful” . Englewood’s Gothic Theatre has grown especially popular, despite its relatively small capacity of 1,100. See releases from national crushers Roy Wood Jr., Iliza Schlesinger, Steve-O , and Mo Mandel.
My favorites tend to be from Denver comics, who can stand side-by-side with the best of them. All three members of Denver’s Grawlix comedy troupe have recorded in Denver, both at the Bug Theatre — Adam Cayton-Holland’s “I Don’t Know if I Happy” and Andrew Orvedahl’s “Hit the Dick Lights” — and Comedy Works .
