Medium to Low Energy Comedians to listen to while doing medium-to-low energy chores or falling asleep

I feel like Steven Wright is more coma territory and this level of energy is just right:

One problem though is that the audience isn't necessarily also medium-to-low energy, so in this case sets where they bomb are preferable!

Joe Pera is the man you're looking for

I love Emily Catalano's stuff. I put some of it on one of the stand-up threads. I wish she had more specials.

Joe Pera seconded. He even does a “sleep podcast” that they upload extra long versions of to YouTube so you can sleep through the whole thing.

Joe Pera I feel is closer to Wright on the soma-levels but the audience is also never too rowdy, so great if you're wanting to stay on the lowwwww end, and for sure talked to sleep.

Mirman I think is deceptively mid-energy because he will sometimes punctuate some jokes with the "this is my not-yelling yelling" voice. Mitch Hedberg would also be someone you'd think is consistently super chill but in his own way he does get a bit aggro.

Has Richard Ayoade ever shouted?

Todd Barry definitely feels the steadiest of the bunch!

Hancock’s half hour is the perfect thing to fall asleep to.

re: Emo Philips -- chill but also squirrelly and anxiety inducing!

but can't believe I forgot Jonathan Katz, Tig Notaro, and Bob Newhart -- what a knitting circle that would be!

Closest he’s come to yelling?

Demetri Martin (although sometimes he brings a guitar out, which increases the energy level)
