Help me ID this comedian

[BrainGlutton]

I saw him on Comedy Central -- last year, I think. 20something white guy with a beard. His schtick is to tell stories as if he's entertaining a group of small children, the stories leading into (mostly) bawdy songs, accompanying himself on his guitar.

I know who you mean, it'll come to me in a minute here....

[Snooooopy]

Hmm ... I'd have said Stephen Lynch, except he's not bearded.

[brendon_small]

hmm...I'd also assume Stephen Lynch, but could he have been bearded? at least, at one point?

[Antinor01]

Lynch isn't who I was thinking of, but can't come up with his name. ::grumble::

Doesn't mean it's not who the OP means though

[Bob Ducca]

It's Zach Galifianakis (http://www.zachgalifianakis.com/)... right?

It could also be Demetri Martin - but I don't think he does a "story time" theme....

Sorry, here's al ink to Demtri Martin's site (http://www.demetrimartin.com/main.html). Martin's style is more one-liners set to guitar music... not so much w/ the "bawdy songs" described by the OP. It's gotta be Zach G he's thinking of...

Zach plays piano, not guitar, and I've never heard him do the children's story thing.

[Starving Artist]

I've not heard or seen him do the children thing, but Mike O'Connell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2v-AkSj260)?

(Not safe for work, but hilarious.)

[Starving Artist]

Almost forgot, O'Connell can be found with guitar here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjPxX0-G9l8).

(Also probably NSFW)

I believe it is Stephen Lynch. I think the comedy set that the OP is refering to is set on a stage where a few people are all sitting around Stephen. He is up on a stool, looking down on them, and speaking to them as if they were children.

If you could remember any of the songs, that would be helpful. I think in this specific one, he did a few songs like Special Fred, If I were gay, Hermaphrodite, Lulaby, a quick Taxi Driver song, If I could be a superhero (about a girl who leaves Stephen for a doctor named Bob) and a few others.

I really do think thats what he is talking about though. For sure.

Also, Stephen was a little beared in that specific Comedy Central Presents. I think a better term for his facial status would be "unshaven" but thats just me.

[Revtim]

Stephen Lynch's abums are freaking hilarious, by the way. I highly recommend them.

It's definitely Stephen Lynch, the most beautiful man in comedy. Well, at least as far as I'm concerned (http://www.geocities.com/mulderscreek/blog/neoxblog.html/3), he is. The start of one of his specials was the set up that he's talking to a class of kids.

[HeyHomie]

'Cause Daddy likes football and whisky and beer
Daddy likes sex that involves Mommy's rear...

That the guy?

[BrainGlutton]

Definitely Stephen Lynch. Thanx! :)
