One of my favorite comedians is Louis C.K. I think he's one of the smartest, most insightful comedians working today. I'm linking these two videos because I'd like you to consider how he performs (his body language, his tone, his projection, his pauses) and how he articulates his argument (is comedy an argument? OF COURSE!).

Speeches
When I think about great speeches and great public speakers, I think of comedians. Comedians have to be extremely cognisant of their audience (because a bad audience can torpedo any performance), they have to have an affect that integrates well with their show, and they have to consider the links between their different bits in order to make a coherent performance.
