Patrice O'Neal was well respected by his comedy peers. Anyone who's done stand-up in NYC knew him and has stories. He was a staple in the scene.
Corey Holcomb is a small fish in comparison. Most people don't know him. What city does he stay at? You really can't compare the two.
Before Patrice died, he had just started getting stand-up / roast gigs for Comedy Central. He also did appearances on Fox News and SiriusXM. He was building bridges more than he was burning any.

MOST PPL DONT KNOW HIM?
YOU CANT BE TALKING ABOUT COMEDY
