Has Dane Cook’s Standup Record Been Broken?

Dane Comedy has suddenly become an endurance sport. First Dave Chappelle did a six-hour and 12-minute set. Then Dane Cook bested him, staying onstage for seven hours. And now two lesser-known comics are apparently battling to claim the title.

I mentioned this briefly Tuesday, but a few more details are now available. A Winnipeg standup named Big Daddy Tazz did an eight-and-a-half-hour standup set earlier this week:

He said he decided to break a record set by U.S. comedian Dane Cook who did a 7-hour set at Hollywood's Laugh Factory last December, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., said. However, comedian Robby Wagner gave a 10-hour routine on March 9 at Toso's Sports Grill in Phoenix, an Internet search of news releases showed.

Part of Tazz's 88-page set list included references to his own battles with bipolar depression and attention deficit disorder, the Sun said.

An anonymous comment below the article takes issue with the mention of Wagner's alleged performance and says Tazz has submitted his claim to Guinness. So who really has the record now? Beats the hell out of me, but I predict David Blaine will soon crush all previous records with a 97-hours standup set from inside a shark-infested underwater volcano... on the Moon!
