Something I like about this guy is how he frequently does what, in my mind, is the standup equivalent of breaking the "fourth wall." I don't want to give too much away for people who haven't listened to his work, but essentially at times he dissects the structures of his own jokes and then turns that dissection into a joke itself. Part of what makes things funny is that "Ooooo I get the 2 or 3 levels that this joke is on maybe I get it more than the person next to me." Or having that feeling gives you deeper appreciation for the work. When he starts to dissect the joke while you're pondering the various levels and in a sense, "judging" his talent, he jumps right in your mind and judges you back. It's pretty awesome I think, and something I haven't heard many other comics do. Go delivery.
