People don't understand how incredibly tough it is to be a clean comic with amazing material, witty improv skills and decades of longevity without being overly saturated and people getting tired of seeing you. Sinbad is a LEGEND and highly underrated!

They over saturated Kevin Hart who I also admire but there are many more comedians who are funnier that dont get much of a chance because of the oversaturation of one comedian .

@@DeathsInverse that's sad if that's something more recent. I saw in him Maryland about 1.5 years ago. He did almost a 2hr set because he got lost and was about 30 minutes late to the venue. He was hilarious still. Seemed like 45 mins was crowd work. My cheeks were hurting from laughing that night.

[@DeathsInverse]

@@halfblackhalfamasian ok maybe I'm wrong then, I think I saw him about 2 years ago, shortly before the pandemic started. He had a side act that stayed on stage with him and kind of gave him hints as to what he was supposed to do next in his act.

[@rks5457]

Sinbad is so underrated. In my opinion, he's the most naturally funny comedian. Most comedians have to write for hours and then spend a year doing the same jokes over and over on tour to make sure it's funny.

[@ghanasoul]

True. There’s comics that are just naturally funny. Then u have others that just says funny stuff and then there’s others that craft jokes, write, tweak, re-write etc. On a major tour though, i think its dangerous to “wing it”. U should have some solid material. Sinbad and Chris Rock are very funny but very different. Rock comes off more like he worked his material, tweaked it, went from club to club. Sinbad looks like he has a sketch of ideas and goes onstage and talks.

[@juicymiss87]

He’s definitely underrated unfortunately!!! He’s always been funny

[@jeredmintz8564]

People have always said it, but the fact that he never cusses is amazing. So many comedians today feel they have to cuss to be funny. So bad proves them wrong.
