Seinfeld: Standup scene "pretty good"

In addition to all the usual huge names (Rock, Seinfeld, etc.), the organizers of The Comedy Festival (the HBO one, held in Vegas) are promising to bring in John Oliver, Bill Burr, Marc Maron, Zach Galifianakis, Jamie Kennedy & Nick Swardson, Artie Lange, The Sopranos star Steve Schirripa, Steve Byrne, Bobby Lee, Dr. Ken Jeong and Kevin Shea.
