If you were lucky enough to be at the Comedy Cellar here in New York City last night, you may not see a better show in your life.

Chris Rock took the stage last night to work out material for his forthcoming Total Blackout tour and was joined by Amy Schumer, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Laster, Dave Attell and Aziz Ansari.

My god.

Comedian Jon Lester, who hosted the event, had this to say about the ridiculous night:

Tonight I was humbled and blessed to have been a part of the greatest show EVER in the history of the Comedy Cellar and maybe comedy period! We were sitting on the steps when Dave Chappelle told the manager that he didn't wanna go on he just wanted to watch Jerry Seinfeld go on and then he was leaving. He quickly changed his mind and decided to go up. He and Chris Rock then went back and forth about who would be next. Amy Schumer overheard them and asked if she could do five minutes also to be a part of this 'history.' I forgot that Aziz was somewhere outside and needed to go on as well. Felt kinda surreal working with my idols. The Birds, Jordans, LeBrons all in this little hallway but I honestly didn't feel intimidated I felt like I belonged atleast like my work did. I started to excuse myself from this picture and Amy pulled me back into it and said 'fuck that get in the picture you were a part of this!' Thank you soooooo much Estee!! The Lineup: Host: Me Ryan Hamilton Dave Attell Jerry Seinfeld Amy Schumer Chris Rock Aziz Ansari Dave Chappelle Every once in a while we get a glimpse into our growth. My law of attraction is working, my sobriety is working, the people that push me (Tracey Moore), it's working! I am so happy. I am so grateful. I am so humbled. Thank you for any kind words in advance!

Some more good news is that we'll be seeing a lot more of these comedians in the future. Chappelle agreed to release three comedy specials through Netflix and Chris Rock's Total Blackout tour is to set to kickoff next month.

In the meantime, I am going to be at Comedy Cellar every night until they all come back.
