Of course OP fig would have Bo Burnham on his list.
He's probably more performance art than strict stand-up, but Bo Burnham is more talented than most on the list IMO.

There’s several hilarious musical comedians that I left off…burnham can definitely get bumped still.


Give me a worthy challenger. The list is not yer complete. Musical comedians can have their own tourney with prop comics.
Bill Bailey may get bumped for that bracket now that I think about it.


Okay, Bo burnham and bill Bailey getting reserved for another bracket, this is gonna be primarily stand up.

2. More spots open

ETA. BB and BB bumped for Tim Dillon and Theo Von

Who to bump for Ari Shaffir?

It’s a damn solid list at this point.

Thinking about seeding Now. Pairing the heavyweights versus the less known just seems unfair.

Might just go with a random order, or chunk them up and go with that random order?

ETA: Also, about the prize. What I’ll do, the only fair way I can see, is that the first 64 posters to say they want in will be the contestants. Each will be assigned a random number coinciding with a random comedian. That will be your contender through the tourney,

We’ll have a grand prize and possibly some runner up prizes too. Just a fun little extra

I’m willing to hear the argument. He was on my original list but I bumped him for someone. Make an argument who he should replace. He can easily re-enter

ETA:thinking about Maybe bumping Zach Galifinakis for David Cross

It’s not a ranking in any way, shape or form. Just numbers to help a simpleton count.

Another worthy entry. As much as it pains me, I may bump Rowan Atkinson for him. Rowan is one of my favorite comedians but his standup material is sparse, albeit hilarious.

Can you make a better bump?

I’m trying not to bump some of the lesser known comics people have submitted but I’m leaning towards that.

Advice?

What do you think about chunking them by style, generation, or other categories? Past/present, clean/dirty, rapid-fire/storytellers, etc.
