The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jim Gaffigan spoke to The Washington Post and point, I’ve been killing Jim for not calling us back at the radio station nearly twenty years ago. But Jim called people back when I help you. On a recent weeknight, Jim arrived at the Gotham Comedy Club to do an unannounced twenty two minutes set.

Says The Washington Post, it’s because he had just burned his latest material on that new special, Dark Pail. I haven’t seen it yet. At some point I will tell you what’s going on in my personal life, but I can’t watch that one right now. His wife Jeanie said, you know, once a special’s release, you can’t really do the same show because people are like, you know, we just saw that on TV. As part of that set, Haffigan opened up with a chunk about his children, and he said, I’m so grateful that I could do stand up comedy, but I do need you to know that my life at home is horrible.

It’s hell. He talks about discovering mid conversation at the child he’s speaking to he was leaving the room. He jokes about getting called fat and bald for merely suggesting a coat be worn and cold weather. He imagines telling his therapist about his children without mentioning that they’re indeed his children. He says, I live with these five people.

They eat all my food, they spend all my money, and when I asked them to do anything, they yell at me. Any therapists would be like, you should move out. Nice profile of Chris Astrada in Esquire. They say the day Chris Astrada’s life changed started like so many before. He was up early.

He was in the car, off to work at the warehouse shifts loading trucks. On this particular day in twenty nineteen, it was twelve thirty. He was on lunch break. He was in his car and a call came in from comedian producer Fred Ormison. Fred wanted to work with a Strata on a product that would become This Fool.

That’s the Hulu show loosely based on Estrada’s life. Ar Armiston said the call wasn’t immediate. Okay, let’s start, as opposed to okay, I need to know you. I didn’t need to Armiston said, I liked this haircut. He greased it back in a way that I think only people who grew up with a clash would know.

When the call was over, Strada bought a sandwich from a truck and went back to unpacking the boxes. He didn’t tell anybody, he says, nobody had time to hear your effing dream. We had worked to do these days, Astrada said. Financially, if I’m being honest, my life has changed. My buddy told me I should buy bitcoin, and I go, Dude, I barely understand real money.

Lean Morgan tells NPR it took me a long time to find my audience, but I always knew they were out there. I think Hollywood forgets us, and I think a lot of comedians that are cool and edgy and all that just forget about my demographic. And I think we’re the best. I think we’re the people that make decisions to go buy tickets and want to go out there and have a good time. On connecting to her audience, she says, I’m nurturing.

If I make funness of myself, it’s not of anybody else. I’m not confrontational. I think people find comfort with me. I was in La doing the comedy store, which was a dreamline. It was all these edgy comedians are getting out and talking about all kinds of stuff, And then I got up and talked about how somebody made me a meat loaf at my children’s school a day that I got my iud replaced.

Young people came out of the comedy store and said, can I hug you. In my mind, though I always had a chip on my shoulder, thinking, oh, I’m not edgy enough, I’m not a cool kid in the business, in the industry and all that. And I do think people were enjoying what I did. Jimmy Kimmel till the Las Vegas Weekly, It’s interesting how many comics don’t sit down and write jokes. If you really want to be a comic, sit down for two hours and write jokes.

If you have any whatsoever, you’re gonna come up with some good stuff. But you have to apply yourself. I had the benefit of being a disc jockey, so I had to fill five and a half hours every morning. Sometimes by myself. You wind up getting in the habit of working hard.

The Weekly asked him if you need thick skin to survive in the business. Kimbell said, I think you always did, but it’s become more personal. Now. We have a new phenomenon, which is people cursing you and your family and threatening you and criticizing you. Why are you laughing at that?

John? You do have to have some toughness, and you develop that as you experience it. But I do find that when people are new to it, it can be very hard for them. It’s not so hard for me anymore. I mostly just don’t look at any of it, but it’s hard not to look at the beginning.

All right, Kimmel, what keeps it going? You’ve been doing Jimmy Kimmel Alive for twenty years. Kimbell said, I’m not entirely sure I’d liked given the show. At the end of the day, writing the show all day is hard. It’s sometimes fun, but most of the time it’s not.

It’s a lot of nonsense I have to deal with that I’d rather not. But the end of the day, at four thirty pm, when I walk onto the stage, I want to make sure that I’m funny. That’s what drives me from seven in the morning when I wake up, till I drive home afterwards. If you enjoy what I do here, you can go to buy Meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy needs a couple options there they are. One of the options is the two dollar Club.

So what you do is you sign up for that and then every month, however the automation with your credit card happens and all that, it’ll send me two bucks, right, and then I’ll shout you out on the show for that. The most common thing is to throw five bucks in the tip jar, and I will take your five dollars and I’ll go to the National Donus chain. I’ll be like, hey, National Donus Shane employee, largeized coffee, caramel and milk, and I will get one. Then I will drink it and I will also thank you on the show.

Yahoo took a look at the fringe. Sue’s Kemper show is called Y two K Woman. They say it’s endlessly inventive and bursting with creativity. Sue’s Kemper is at once extremely contemporary and a throwback to the golden age of variety. Whether it’s political satsire, musical comedy, acting impressions, or straight up stand up, she manages to excel at at all, with complete fearlessness.

You’ll find her at the Underbelly and Bristow Square. Is it Bristow Square or did an ll drop there and it’s Bristol Square? I should check? Why don’t I check? Yeah, it’s Bristow Square.

The Underbelly is a venue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival off Cowgate. The Only Times asked comedians about artificial intelligence AI comedy. Rosebud Baker said, I heard one AI thing where Tom Brady’s voice was doing stand up about himself and it was hilarious in a way that really concerned me. On the other hand, it makes all these specials with comedians crying at the end make a lot more sense. Brad Williams said, I wrote in a chat GPT, write me a joke about cancel culture.

It responded, my toaster got canceled from making the toast too black, Brad ads, So for now the human’s job is safe. Matthew Brissard said writing jokes will be one of the very last task AI will be able to do convincingly and effectively, meeting against all logic, I chose the career with the most stability. John Pavaromo, host of The Dystopia Tonight podcast had a good take. He said, since AI can’t create on the spot, but only glean from information that already exists. In comedy, we have that already, we call them hacks.

And in the same way a skilled comic can blow a hack off the stage, I’ve no doubt in a live setting that do the same to anything, and AI can generate. However, as we’ve seen a ready, when it comes to TikTok and reels, us don’t always equal talent. Amen Ahmed Ahmed said, AI and comedies like eating processed foods. It’s just simply not good for you. And no one wants to digest computer generated humor.

It’s not authentic and lacks timing, which is what comedy’s all about. And all right, button up for this one from The Daily Mail. Australian comedian Benjamin Frenchy French shocks audience as he sucks a woman’s foot in front of her husband during a live show. Do I have your attention now? Yes?

I do so? Frenchy French is there on the stage and he asked a young woman when she does for work. Tara was at the show where her mother and her father and told Frenchy she works in a shoe shop. Frenchy asked Tara’s mom, hey, is that where you got your fresh kicks? Use saucy minks, and then added, you ever have your foot sucked on?

Mom said maybe? Why are you offering? French She was taken back as he challenged her. I knew you were a spunky woman. I’ll suck your feet.

Don’t think I won’t. Mom took off her shoes. Frenchie goes, hell, wait is this your husband? Is it okay if I suck her feet? Dad went, yeah, mate, go for it.

He did it, and then he joked I went four toes deep on that one. Then Mom admitted she hadn’t washed her feet in a week. Friend, she said, you haven’t washed your feet in a week? What yell at the dead? Wash your feet?

The Shark Deck. We want to start today. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. My former co worker Jamie Fox has apologized for an Instagram post that was perceived as being anti Semitic. The post has been deleted, but in aunt, Fox wrote, they killed this dude named Jesus.

What do you think they’ll do to you? Hashtag fake friends, hashtag fake love. Fox as a new post on Instagram that says, I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post. I now know my choice of words have caused offense, and I’m sorry. That was never my intent.

To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that’s when I met with they, not anything more. I only have love in my heart for everyone I love in Sport, the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who’s offended. Nothing but love always, Jamie Fox. Ron White tells The Statesman that Jeff Foxworthy is a prince.

He helped me out when I was at my lowest. I started a pottery factory in Mexico when I was with a crazy woman and I thought I’d never be solvent again. Jeff pulled me out of that and hired me as his opener. He turned my life around. He’s a great guy and he’s also hilarious.

The Washington Post profile Jim Gaffigan, who’s done a lot of press this month, and they quoted Jerry Seinfeld, who said clean. I know that term. I don’t think it means much. I mean, in the comedy world, it’s is this guy funny? Nobody goes is he clean?

Gaffigan was working out some material at Gotham. In the bit, he referenced his thirteen year old daughter, Maria, except he doesn’t have a thirteen year old daughter named Maria. Washington Post says it offers a window into a shifting Gaffigans thinking how to fit his real family into the family material he’s become famous for. There was a time when he’d welcome a TV crew in to the kitchen, rememurdering the pandemic. They’re doing dinner with the Gaffigans.

That was super popular. He says his family became TikTok famous, but they wanted to be YouTube famous, and I’m thinking, oh, yeah, that sounds good.

And then he thought about it some more and realized it was a terrible idea.

Jeannie Gaffigan said, at a certain point, our oldest daughter was like, I just don’t want to be on camera anymore. And we realized, oh wait, these aren’t actors. There are children from the profile. Gaffic and records every performance on his phone and we’ll listen back hearing where a line fell, flad took off, or could use a nudge. Then he screwed.

Ted Alexandro has been opening for Gaffigan for years and said that’s the work ethic that separates the great comedians from the good comedians, arriving at the theater two hours early so they can work over not just one week, one month, one year, you know, thirty years. Seinfeld said, I’ve been a comedian for forty seven years, and over that time, I’ve worked with hundreds and hundreds of comedians, and I would say ninety nine percent of them are not doing comedy anymore. The number one reason is how difficult it is to sustain this profession over many, many years. And the reason that some sustain it and some don’t. You might think it has to do with how funny they are, but it actually isn’t.

It’s that there are people that are so committed to it. They’re so in love with it, and they’re so dedicated. We’re obsessed with it. We don’t even think about anything else. Eddie zazard Is announced on social media that she’s hoping to stand as a Member of Parliaments at the UK’s next general election.

Susie Eddie Azzard said on her website she’s standing to be selected as the opposition Labor Parties candidate for the Brighton Pavilion seats in southeast England to support this brilliant city and its diverse and vibrant community. If elected, she would increase funding and resources for schools, promote eco friendly transportation, work to secure we’re funding and housing infrastructure, champion mental health services and build stronger ties between law enforcement and local communities. She added it will take practical action, not protest, to fix what’s broken and to win the seat, Labor needs a candidate that can inspire many thousands to become her friends and allies in the fight for a fairer, greener, cleaner planet. Tim Hidecker talked about mixing comedy and rock on his two Tim’s tour. The San Antonio Current asked him how he reacts in real life when somebody says, hey, Tim, say something funny.

Tim says, I say something like, oh, you gotta pay me, or that’s my job. I don’t give it away. And that’s usually enough of a joke to move things along. So the current said, oh, can you say something funny now? Tim answered, no, I’m an unassuming guy.

It’s funny. You go to the pta things and the family functions and stuff at school, and I keep it pretty dry. I like the people don’t know who I am. But I did pull this movie star move where all the kids were going to a Dodger’s game. They were going to walk around the field for a Little League day and I wrote to Justin Turner, who’s my daughter’s favorite player of the team.

I wrote them on Twitter and I said, Hey, we’re gonna be walking around on the field. He said, I’ll come over and say hi. He saw me and said hi to my daughter, and the other parents were like, who the hell’s that guy? All right? Tim, who’s the most difficult heckler you’ve had and had to deal with it?

Tim said, there’s a lot my character that I do as a stand up character, as this sort of shield where I can be very brutal with an audience member, and it’s in the guise of this character, so I can kind of get away with really giving people the business. We were doing a series of warm up shows for this tour and there was a woman on her phone. The life on the phone was distracting because it was a pretty small room. I asked her to put the phone away and she’s like, I can’t, I’m dealing with something right now. And I was like, get the f out of here, right now, get the f out, and I kicked her the f out and everyone clapped.

She went to the box office and was very upset that she was going to contact my booking agent and complain. Go for it. My booking agent’s gonna love to hear that. I’m gonna set the terms of how this is gonna go. I don’t mind hecklers, but you know, I had a guy when we were in England.

I was doing a show in Manchester. During the music portion, we do this thing where we kind of do a little dance on stage, like a Springsteen Courtney Cox thing. He was happy to be up there and was St Patrick’s day. I think he was a little drunk. I’m changing the word he used.

He was motioning with me up there. He was coming up and ramming me, and I gave him a look like no, that’s not what we’re doing here, and then he did it again and knocked me over. At that point, my tour manager came and g I’m out of there. But yeah, it’s an active shooter situation every night. You know, if you enjoy what I do here, you can buy me a coffee, because sometimes I record a bunch of podcasts back to back like this one, and my voice starts to go, and you want me well hydrated, don’t shows, so go to buy me a coffee.

Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Throw a couple bucks in the tip Joe, and maybe I’ll remember to come down the studio with something a drink so I don’t blow out my throat recording knees. Hopefully Zorna Garg is paying attention to good hydration, because Zorna has started a podcast on the heels of her Amazon Prime special One in a Billion. Garg was recently picked as one of Variety’s ten Comics to Watch her twenty twenty three. Her new podcast is called The Zorna Garg Show.

It features conversations with her multi generation Indian American family, and she describes it as bringing taboo topics out of the open. On the first episode, She’s Got her husband and her three kids who are twenty, seventeen and eleven. That episode is called the Sex Talk and features the family discussing the previously off limits issue in frank terms. Garg is a lawyer and homemaker turned screenwriter and comedian. She first gained recognition through her TikTok posts and first stand of performances at places like The Comedy Seller and Carolines on Broadway.

She said, I was a stay at home mom for sixteen years when I realized I’m not really into it. Yahoo profiled some shows at the Fringe Stuart McPherson shows called Love That for Me, and they say McPherson is by no means a ratitsat one liner comic in the mold of say Alan Carr or Gary Delaney, but for such a skilled recontori as a remarkable hit rate of gags. He’s at Monkey Barrel Comedy. The rob Outon Show stars rob Outon. Rob is like a one hundred year old man with the curiosity of a child and the face of a Panini sticker from the seventies.

You’ll find him at Assembly Roxy and that is your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. And I’m gonna go cough. Hi. I’m Mark Francis and host of a new podcast, The Messy Effect.

Bill Burr said, I got passed at the Comic Strip at nineteen ninety six, that the rill of being a working comic in New York City has never worn off. To be able to perform at MSG is beyond any dream I’ve ever had.

I saw a press release from cell phone company that can afford to pay for the ad Jim Gaffigan will start in the ad for cell phone Company. The cell phone company has recently released new discounted family plans, which Jim Gaffigan, you know, kind of plays into with his whole family dad kind of thing he’s been doing lately.

A suit at the cell Phone Company said, Jim’s comedy and work ethic embodies who our customer is. Observant, hardworking, a little bit skeptical and something that might seem too good to be true, and loves to talk about their family. But ironically, Jim has been known not to call people back who help him early in his career. Maybe he had the wrong cell phone plan out. Now it all makes sense.

If only Jim had been with this cell phone company, he would have returned some calls to a satellite radio company that I had helped him a lot in the early aughts. No, yes, Hi Jim. In a statement, Jim Gaffkin said, cell phone company makes life easier and simpler for people with large families like mine, where people with lots of friends. If feel like family or you know people who help my career, I could call them back to the commercials we made inside a large chain store where hilarious. Working with cell phone company was fun, and joining them on a campaign that helps people save more money is the cherry on top.

The Shark Deck. Hello Johnny Mac with your daily commenty Hews, listen to this one, Leslie David Baker. You’re like, who’s that Stanley from the Office. Now you know who I’m talking about? Right, Well, he’s announced he’s giving back more than one hundred thousand dollars in crowdfunding money to fans who had supported his efforts to make a TV spinoff sort of based on the character.

You know. I’m sure in a legally distinct way, the character would have been called Uncle Stan, who would have more or less been Stanley from the Office. Uncle Stan would have centered on a retired guy named Stanley who was recruited by his nephew to help watch his two kids and run his motorcycle slash flower shop. The initial goal of the kickstarter was three hundred thousand dollars. Baker posted, we apologize about the delay in updates.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to get everything on track and rewards fulfilled. We are just as excited as all of you to get this project out and truly appreciate all your patients and support. The project took longer than anticipated due to circumstances beyond our control. The initial delays were called by the COVID lockdowns. Baker said he still has every intention to make the show, but the ongoing writers and actors strike has put another wrench in things now, leading to the series quote to be on hold indefinitely until an arrangement is reached.

After careful consideration, we’ve decided to refund our backers. All right, that’s pretty cool. He’s are short donors. They’ll still receive the campaign’s promotional awards. Baker adds, in light of the current economic situation, we felt this was the best course of action.

You’ll receive a message notifying you of your refund as soon as it’s issued, and you can expect receive it over the following weeks. Whilst be contacting Kickstarter to facilitate expediting this matter, we remained in constant communication with our backers via direct messaging, and rewards have continued to be filled during this time. Baker revealed that the amount to be returned is one hundred and ten thousand dollars in change. Despite rights decider, the Kickstart a campaign page displaying a total funded amount of three hundred and thirty six thousand and change. Baker said a large portion of backers.

Pledges were lowered or completely dropped and never collected once the campaign was completed. In twenty twenty, Baker began teasing a potential return of stan in a series of videos shared on a social media and one he and character says, Yeah, I’m back and I’m gonna need a cocktail if I’m staying. I don’t recall hearing about this before, and you know, maybe I’m not awesome, but I do do this every day. So very strange story there. The v Club said there was another idea that he had called Stanley Nichols, which was a cryptocurrency he rolled out in twenty twenty one.

Who knows The Press Democrat spoke to Nick Kroll, who was in Nappa last week. He encountered the Napple pedal crusher, party bike, and a dog and a vest. He made fun of all that on Instagram. On Instagram, Kroll did his big mouth character Lola and play acted as a Napa Valley tourist getting absolutely hammered while driving a collective bike. Later in the week, role posted another Instagram of his driving escapades, doing Lola’s voice again to explain how he wants to drink Chardonnay with a dog and a vest.

He added, that’s Napa Baby. Get Real. Iglesias is on Craig Ferguson’s podcast. I listened to that on Saturday and enjoyed it a lot. Fluffy was up at the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, New York, and he cut the ribbon on a new display featuring the Jersey he War during his record breaking sold out performance at Dodger Stadium in twenty twenty two.

Gleasia said he was honored to be part of the center. Yeah, it’s been twenty six years. When I started, I had hair, hope, happiness, a house. I had all those things. Now we’re here.

But thank you very much. I hope everybody continues to come out and support this because it’s incredible, especially in a time now where censorship for some reasons becoming a thing again. I think it’s supporting the sea where it was, where it goes, and what it could be. Joel Mchal and Beck Bennett are starring in a new TV movie It’s going to be a Comedy Central. It’s called Office Race.

Office Race also stars Kelsey Grammer, Alison Hannigan, and JB. Smooth.

Well, Matthews is the real ability to develop an instant rapport with a room that is born of her natural warmth and naked honesty, combining a relaxed charm with a syring wit, and she makes the deeply personal feel like universal truth. You’ll find her at Monkey Barrel Comedy.

Meanwhile, the gilded balloon pattern Who’s you’ll find Bishops?

The description here seemingly influenced by everyone from Samuel Beckett to Scooby Doo. Sentence you known’t often say. Bishops are such a knowing meta theatrical example of a fringe sketch act that their debut features them being reviewed and accepting an award. With layers built upon layers and constant rub pulls. Chris Kurrn and Noah Matthews don’t lack ambition for the form, but it’s all done with an enjoyably light touch, and they avoid pretentiousness thanks to their instinctive goofiness.

Every it involves them cheekily peeping out from behind the mass of their characters, maintaining a running commentary on the success or otherwise of the conceit that sounds like a lot of fun. Bishops is the name of that show.

The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Man with your Daily Comedy News salon. Talk to Jim Gaffigan. Doing a lot of press lately, Jim, I still haven’t seen that, especially at my personal life has been crazy. I’ll got Jim at some point.

Jim, in especially you talk about death funerals and some really dark stuff. What’s it been like going back out there for this particular special, Jim said, The audience has obviously gone through the same stuff. We’ve all had this emotional development where we wanted to talk about the pandemic. Didn’t want to hear about the pandemic. We’re frightening of it coming back.

We all occasionally will hear about somebody getting COVID and you’re like, wait, wait, wait a minute, we have PTSD. We’ve all lost someone, whether it’s through the pandemic or just in everyday life. I feel as though there’s a maturity there. Initially, people just extatic to get out. My relationship with audiences is there’s the value of time.

My ticket prices aren’t that high anyway, but if people are giving me two hours on a Friday night, it better be worth those two hours, because we don’t have time. When people walk out. I definitely want them to be like, all right, that was worth it, because I’m the same way when I’m disappointed by a movie, it’s not there was fourteen or sixteen bucks, it’s that, oh man, it was my night. They asked Jim what story he wanted to tell in this particular special, and Jim said, some of it is the nihilism that’s pervasive, and maybe it’s necessary for how we process today, but we have to acknowledge some of the cass that exists and the fear that exists. Were not a little bit cynical.

We’re living in a little bit of denial, and that’s where I see the world in apparel way my comedy specials, my children were younger, and now three fifths of them are teenagers. And it’s a nightmare. Do you know what I mean? It’s really hard when you have young kids. Either.

People don’t tell you how order it is with teenagers. You don’t hear it because changing a diaper’s like a cakewalk compared to waiting for a teenager to come home on a Saturday night. Tim Heidecker is touring. He’s doing a two parts show. The first part is comedy, then he does music, and he caught up with the San Antario Current, who asked him how they decide that the music is the second half, Tim said, the stand up character works great as an opening act because he’s such a failure.

It’d be funny if this guy was real and flopped in front of a band. Even though he’s a terrible stand up comedian. He’s very popular in that room that night because the audience that’s there to see the show loves the character. You go see a show and you get what you want right away. There’s something about that.

It’s not like you got to slock through three bands. The persona is described does no more bs. On the other hand, the band is called the Very Good Band. Tim said, it’s funny because it does seem like I’m being ironic or sarcastic with the name of the band, but it’s quite literal. They’re surprisingly good.

That’s one of the reactions we get. Dude, your band’s really good at that happen. Well, I got lucky and I like good music, so I’m happy every night to play with these people. The first half is sort of steeped in sarcasm and irony, meta comedy, nothing is real and then the shift happens where it does take a little bit of time to know what’s going on, but about halfway through the music set, there’s a sense of, oh, this is a rock show. This isn’t a joke, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun.

I don’t try to make you laughter out. It’s kind of my natural instinct to be funny and to keep the energy lighting fun. I don’t want to turn in this MOPI emo rock weirdo. I play funny songs and everything I try to make the whole night. I feel like, wow, that was a whole range of emotions.

There’s a feeling of I laugh that I cried old fashioned showbizz stuff. Every year, Forbes makes a fifty over fifty list, which recognizes fifty dynamic female leaders and entrepreneurs. Congratulations to Lean Morgan, who made this year’s list. Lean was recognized in the Lifestyle category, the other categories and know You’re Curious or Impact in avan and investment the three eyes This being me l I guess. Forbes says members on this list aren’t just publishing books, making music, selling food, They’re shaping our culture.

Other winners Jamie Lee Curtis and Katie couric Lean’s held out. She found out. She said, as I was sitting at my kitchen table this morning writing my book What in the World Plug, I got a notification that truly made me say, what in the world plug? Forbes fifty over fifty is always something I would look at and think, look at all these amazing women. Never in a million years that I think I’d be one of them.

And she got a book plug in there twice. Spam a Loot is coming back. Spam a Loot first open I feel so old on Broadway in two thousand and five. I saw that in previews. Was it really that long ago?

Boy? Twenty years goes by quickly? You know, Spam a Loot Mounty Python thing. If for you listen to this podcast, you probably know what spam a Loot is. I won’t tell you.

It returns to Broadway November sixteenth. Previews beginning on Halloween. Monty Python co creator Eric Idol gave some coldage, which is I’m thrilled to see Spam a Loot back on Broadway. More than effort. Seems we need a good laugh and it’s inspiring to the audience is still embracing this.

The most happy of shows I’ve ever worked on. So put the news cycle on wrinse cycle. Take a couple hours to relax with the lady of the late King Arthur and the Knights who say knee because we’re not dead yet. Who crafted that? I’ve seen in Spamlon on Broadway twice and I’ve seen a regional production of it.

Great show, Go see it. Another show I want to see and I’m so excited for this, The Shark is Broken. My daughter texted me was like, Hey, do you have any interest in this? I was like, yes, do you know what this is? I will reach you from their website.

Fade in the Open Ocean nineteen seventy four, filming is delayed again. The lead actors, theater veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hot shots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider are crammed into a two small boat entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical coastar. Alcohol flows, eagles collide, tampers, flair, and a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic if it doesn’t sink them all. It’s The Shark is Broken, a profound dive behind the scenes of the making of Jaws. The Daily Telegraph gave it four stars.

Alex Brightman is the dude from Beetle Juice, which was differently fantastic, so I’m looking forward to this. We are told short tempers, short circuits, ninety minutes, no intermission, perfect.

The Shark Deck. I’m johnny Man with your Daily Comedy News. Tom Sigurd Tell’s Rolling Stone. There are some people who are really good at podcasts. There are skill sets involved in this.

I think it’s amazing when someone can do an entertaining podcast alone. I tip my ad off to them. Thanks. Tom. Bill Burke could do that.

Tim Dillon could do that. Theo Van could do that. You could tell who wants to be a comedy philosopher and doesn’t have the intellectual substance to do it well, But everybody else can tell too. Ali Sadik spoke to Salon and said, you know, you don’t make money off the special. They pay you to do a special and they shoot at X, Y and Z.

Your special is to push ticket sales for people who come see you and then seal your legacy in the game that you were solidified as a comic. If you got the bread, why not just do it yourself and send it straight to the people and then still the goals for people to come see you. So he’s doing his own specials and says with Domino Effect, we got nine million with this new one. We’re on the verge of it going towards ten million with that one. Hopefully, I think I’ve reached a level now that I’m cementing what I want to be in this game.

I’ve always wanted to be judged on comedy content, not any thing outside of the craft. I don’t want people to say that I’m a good comic or a great comic or this type of comic because I was in a movie, because I was on a sitcom, or was on some other show. There’s nothing to do with stand up. I want to be known for comedy, not anything outside of that. For somebody to say that I’m a great comic because of comedy.

So it was asked, all right, what if an Exact shows up and goes would you do a special with us for thirty million dollars? His answer interesting, Netflix, HBO their viewership versus what I can produce on my own. I beat everybody. Somebody comes to me with thirty million, it’s still going to be a conversation about ownership because you’re giving me thirty million with the hope that you make two hundred million. I don’t think you’d be giving me that thirty million with the whole thing we got to make twenty eight million, or were we gonna make thirty five million.

You’re not splitting your power with me like that. What’s your end goal? Where’s the material? Lie? Who does it rest with at the end of the day.

I think that’s why I’m so big on the legacy of my particular family and the ownership of having my children be able to license my work over somebody else owning it. He says, I think being rich, I’m straight now, I’m not thirty million straight, but I’m telling you it’ll be hard. You’d have to kidnap my children and hold them for ransom. A man come to a set in Cincinnati. We got your son.

We’re gonna release your son after your set. I’m on stage will and Attitude. Twice a year they kicked out my son for me to come to a show. This is a bs. How much longer do I have?

Mike Kaplan is at the Fringe and was asked what he thinks of the English accent, and he ponderous and says, I’m indeed always happy to hear people speak my language in ways that make me wonder are they speaking my language? I love that y’all say maths like it’s plural compared to the way we call it math. In the States, you’re more advanced than we are. We only have one math, whereas you have at least two and possibly up to infinity. Virdas caught up with Forbes who asked about his new tour, and vir said, yeah.

The tour is called Mind Fool and it’s about not having control over your mind. How there’s a complete disconnect between what I’m supposed to do and what my mind forces me to do, and also about to struggle to find out what’s real. Those are the broad themes. I do material about the world in the first forty minutes and then get more personal in the final forty. There’s everything from visits to police stations to first sex.

We’re going to do thirty two countries. We consciously decided to level up. So I’m going to play Carnegie Hall for the first time. I think I might be the first Indian comedian I ever play there. I’m going to do the Chicago Theater, Kennedy Center, to Buy Opera House, the Sydney Opera House, the Hammersmith at Bollow in London.

It’s the dream list of the most iconic venues that I made ten years ago. That’s an impressive list. Which one are you looking forward to in particular? He said, straight up Carnegie all I saw George Carlin special there. Robin Williams is as well.

I know it’s not a room that does a lot of stand up, but it represents a lot of global appeal and it’s just beautiful to look at. So you’re at McDonald’s and you get your bag and you open your bag, you want to grab a couple of fries or something, and there’s five thousand dollars in it. Yeah, this happened at one guy. Hi, I’m Johnny mac, host of five Good News Stories. He gave the money back.

Don’t worry if you want to start your day with a smile twice a week, I’ve got five good news stories for you. For example, there’s an airline for dogs. Or what about the woman in her eighties who just released her debut album. How about the dude who found one hundred and fifty corn on the cobs under his floorboards? Is corn on the cobs?

Even the way you say that? Who cares? And yes, that was a pony at the supermarket? Five Good News Stories, the number five Good news Stories. Five Good News Stories, the number five Good news stories wherever you get your podcasts.

Go see Dan and Jeff All bred Jason and some of their favorites from throughout the weekend. Dan, thanks for sending over that information.

Comedian Rosie Jones is tearing up as she defends her new show title, which is am I a our word, A word that has fallen out of fashion? I won’t say it here. Jones has several palsy and is releasing her personal documentary in which viewers can follow the thirty three year old as she sets out to understand how prevalent disability trolling is in the UK. One unimpressed Twitter user wrote, regarding Rosie Jones’s documentary, no, f no, you do not reclaim such a word. You are not doing us a favor.

Shame on you. Jones told BBC Radio four, I’ve had several palsy for thirty three years, and that means going through school, walking down the road, and now having a public platform on social media. I get to experience that word used at me as a weapon. Nearly every day somewhere I will hear it. And you saw me coming today with headphones because I don’t walk down the street without wearing headphones to protect myself from hearing that word or able as slurs.

So I know it’s controversial, but I needed to use that specific word in the title of the documentary to start the conversation around slurs and ableism. It’s my opinion that it’s not taken as seriously as other slurs. She says that it hasn’t been the easiest few weeks because having criticism that comes from within your own community hits harder. I can only tell the story of what it’s like to be a woman with several palsy, and unfortunately that means the art word is used against me a lot of the time, and I don’t think the abusers care if it’s a word associated with me or people with intellectual disabilities. It isn’t my word, no, but also it isn’t their word, and it’s no one’s word.

But the truth of matter is it’s a word that’s still heard use casually in schools and pubs and in the street. I think by using it the title, I’m in no way encouraging people to use it, and in the same breath, I’m in no way trying to reclaim it. I’m highlighting it. It’s a word that still used casually and it needs to stop. That’s your commedy news for today.

The Shark Deck, Hello Jennymack with your Daily Comedy News Variety talked to Jim Gaffigan. He was explaining the whole clean comedian thing and said it wasn’t some grand scheme. I’m not reinforcing values. I come from a small town in the Midwest, where you only curse if you’re in a car accident. You’re just stubbed your toe.

You’re not cursing when you’re talking about donuts. He reflected on working in advertising and watching people with better vocabularies than him cursing NonStop and said I wasn’t offended, but I didn’t understand why it wasn’t organic to me. And when he started doing late night shows, he had remove cursing anyway, So, as I wrote, it became easier to think up an option rather than worry about changing it. Later. The La Times talked to Neil Brennan, who says, I love doing podcasts, but booking them with such utter humiliation.

The plan was to release the block special and then people would be banging down the door to get on my podcast. But no one’s ever going to bang down the door for a podcast ever. David Spade once called podcast jury duty, and I guess that’s the right way to think of it. Having said that, Letterman was the first guest, so that helped legitimize it. The British Comedy Guide it sells us.

Jack Whitehall has recorded his Settled Down Tour for a Netflix special. He filmed it over three nights at the O two Arena in London July fourteenth through the sixteenth, featuring Whitehall’s reflections on imminently becoming a father being a famous alumnus of his private school as its reputation was direct through the Meyern hanging out in la The show is the first stand up special to be produced by Whitehall’s Jackpot Productions, and it’s his third for Netflix. Netflix has not picked up a show called Jack’s Pub. The show would have followed Whitehall’s investment in a Brewer Friends drinking establishment notting Hill in London. However, the quiet Night in open before cameras could start rolling.

It’s not known whether Whitehall will still put money into the venue. From the Desert News, Ryan Hamilton’s definitely not from Canada. Everyone knows he grew up in Ashton, Idaho, a town with one stoplight and sixty three students. In Hamilton’s graduating class. Ryan said, when you’re from a small town, there are advantages.

You could do whatever you want because nobody else is going to so this room for you. He started writing two humor columns a week, one for each newspaper ten dollars apiece. Soon, the NBC affiliate and Idaho Falls heard about the columns and asked him if he wanted to help cover sports. So when he was fifteen, having had an Idaho driver’s license for a full year, what is the ancient Idaho really fourteen? Yeah, he drove around the state filming games, editing the reels, writing copy and slipping in some jokes for the sportscaster right on the air.

And the spring of two thousand, on the day he took his final he called Johnny b his comedy club in Provo and asked if he could get on stage. They told him sure, come Friday. He didn’t tell any friends or family. I just wanted it to be my own thing. He made up an excuse to go to la He showed up to one meeting in a suit and sign was horrified to find everybody else dressed casually.

He said, I was very, very green. I didn’t know how to handle the business at all. He went for a TV pilot, didn’t happen. He decided to give comedy one more year. Than one year turn into several years.

Hamilton said it put a lot of pressure on me starting to get corporate gigs which paid better than one night. ER’s his broad, observational comedy’s a good fit for corporate work. He says, I’m very approachable and I’m not going to offend anybody. He then entered and won Sierra misss America’s Next Green Comic in two thousand and five. He made it to the Semis of Last Comic Standing in two thousand and seven.

Then he did live at Gotham. He met Amy Schumer, who said to him, I’m Amy, and you’re going to move here. So he hit New York City and said I couldn’t get on stage. Even though he had TV appearances and multiple competition titles, he hadn’t proved himself as a New York comedian. So he spent five years traveling from New York to other cities to perform Wow, What a Road.

Twenty twenty was going to be the big year. He had lunch with Jerry Seinfeld in March eighteenth. By the end of that week, the world had shut down and all of Hamilton’s bookings were postponed. On January first, twenty twenty two, he walked to lax at one thirty in the morning to get a rental car. He said, I hit a button, I watched the light turn, I started walking.

I didn’t see here anything. I just felt the impact. A bus had struck Ryan Hamilton, breaking ten out of his ribs, puncturing a lung and pushing an armbone through his skin. He says it was pretty gruesome. I was so scared.

I didn’t think my body would work again. These days, he opens for Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon Theater. He’s booked through the spring of twenty four and he said, I wanted my accident to be a tragedy, you know, but it’s pretty funny. Really, it’s a comedy. Hi.

I’m Mark Francis, an host of a new podcast, The Messy Effect. Join us as we take you into the exciting new world of Argentine soccer phenomenon Lionel Messi and his new life at Into Miami.

The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack who with your Daily Comedy News. How’s this for a tour? Pete Davidson, John Mulaney, and John Stewart. Yeah, only three cities so far anyway, John John and Pete is the name of the tour.

They’ll play Springfield on Friday September eight, Bethlehem September ninth, and on September tenth, which is definitely not Land in Kerman’s birthday. There’ll be an Atlantic City John John and Pete, Pete Davidson, John Mulaney, John Stewart. That’s fun. I had mentioned recently that Andy Killer did not do this year’s State of the Industry address up at Just for Laughs Montreal. Two comments on that one.

I’ve been looking to see what Jessica Curson did. I’ve seen zero media coverage with that, which is just interesting. Kindlers usually got picked up, at least in the comedy blogs. Nobody has mentioned Kurson State of the Industry. Google it if you find something.

Said it to me. I can’t find a thing. But I had also said, you know, Kindler hadn’t been playing nice in the sandbox, and I wondered if that was why Pure speculation on my part. But the other day Kiler was in a Twitter fight. There was a picture of Chris d’lia and Andrew dice Clay side by side, and Kindler tweeted, excellent side by side marketing.

Hard to decide who is more repugnant. Some people defended Dice. Kindler responded, you couldn’t be more wrong. Dice is a well known ahole, an unpleasant, insecure bully. He found a character and ran with it.

The character was a misogynist, racist hact. He’s a reaging, homophobic hate merchant.

And then he wrote, you forced me to say this.

Hitler also found a character and ran with it. Eva Broun said he was a decent dude. I’ll leave that there. I think I’ve met Andy Kiler. I don’t recall meeting dice Clay.

I’ve definitely not met Chris d’lia. Some Dave Chappelle news after a Dave related gossip corner, The Daily Mail tells us Tiffany Hatich looks effortently stylish in gray with gold heels as she arrives at Dave Chappelle’s comedy show.

Also on Gossip Corner, Kendall Jenner, Donza Racy meschtop as she enjoys a da…

They were also at Dave Chappelle’s comedy show.

Speaking of Dave, the San Francisco Chronicle says, Dave broke curfew at NAPP…

Remember he did that last year. While it had happened again, the Chronicle writes. Even though Chappelle appeared to be on his best behavior during the second installation of the Blue Note Jazz Festival and Nappa, by the third night, the provocative comedian was up to his old tricks. On Sunday, as the strict TENBM curfew for outdoor events loomed, Chappelle strolled on stage and tease the idea of an encore for a chance. The rapper set Chance, considered it, but he passed the mike to fellow yapper.

Yasine Bay, also known as Most Deaf Bay, took the stage and performed to the approximately seven thousand. As the song concluded, Chappelle reappeared on the fog filled stage for his customary end of the night monologue. He was clutching a red solo cup. Chapelle set my God, how do you close a show this great? My gut, what did we all see here today?

Shout out, it’s a blue note. Thank you for getting me with some of my closest friends and greatest artists of all time. He then thanked the festival’s co host. He then led yet another sing along, this time to Bobby Caldwell’s nineteen seventy eight soul hit what You Won’t Do for Love, and he joked, sing it with me if you know it. If not, keep your mouth shut, keep your white lips ut.

He then re christ and Nappa Valley, quoting the chronicle, this is Nword Valley. Now we taking over. We moving in. Come on, y’all, let’s move in. Welcome to Nword Valley.

The houseman joined in, providing backing to Chappelle’s gruff voice, with a smatter of people in the audience singing along, but mostly just hooting and hollering. With a literal mic drop. Chappelle abruptly brought the festival to a close sometime around ten oh five, and then he said, what I’m trying to say is I’ll see you next year. Bitches. You may recall last year.

Chappelle threatened to never return to Nappa after getting ticked off by the regions noise ordinances. Chappelle insisted for two nights in a row last year that the headliners continue performing past ten pm and through an onstage tantrum. After the musicians were unplugged on the final night of the festival. At that time, Chapelle said, I’ll never drink a couple of wine from this dusty ass field this year. Other than the curfew breaking night, Chappelle was quite up.

One night. He rapped with don’t forget to pick up your trash when he leaves so we could be invited back. I want everybody to behave everybody would be quiet when you leave, for the white people sipping wine out there. Hassan Minag is being i’d as the leading candidate to take over the daily show once we have late night shows. Again this from Variety.

I think he is the right choice. I feel bad for roy Wood Junior, but Hassan is younger and just feels like, yep, the right person to be in that chair. Variety cautions us Minhaj is not guaranteed to win the position and a deal is not believed to have been finalized recently. Hassan said I’m definitely open to the conversation. It’s also a family conversation.

Now it’s a very different conversation than when I first got hired at the show when I was twenty nine. My life is in a very different place, and so that’s a bigger life family convo. It changes a lot of things. It’s an all encompassing, all consuming thing, and other people have to live with the consequences of what I say, and I just want to make sure everybody if that were ever to come to fruition, Hey, are we all on board with this? A spokesperson for The Daily Show declined to comment.

Ralph Barboza is recording a special tonight. He’s actually been taping two shows since Wednesday at six and nine. This is at the Kessler Theater in Dallas. I said Valas four times and had to edit it out. What is valis?

Dallas? Kessler Theater is where off where Boss is recording his special, he said on his Instagram page. Netflix came through. It’s right across the street from the old barbershop where he used to work and get my haircuts. Did you know you can name a cockroach after your ex lover and have it fed to the animals at the zoo.

The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Man with your Daily Comedy News. Neil Brennan spoke to the La Times and telling them I was writing a joke the other day about the upside of psychopathy and drugs, and I started to think about how Rick James said cocaine is an ell of a drug. To me, it’s a meme now you see it every day, even if you don’t know anything about it. But I was actually there.

That was the first thing he said to me during that conversation we filmed. It was so funny and so weird. At that point, the TMZ tour bus pulled up. That distracted Neil, who said I was eating here at one of these tables once and the TMZ bus stopped and asked if I would talk to the bus. I was like, none of these people know who I am.

I always say I have the NBA referee level of fame, where people have seen you, but they have no idea who you are. Ironically, I ended up with an elevator with somebody who worked in the NBA once and I was like, do you work for the Clippers? Are they going to stay in LA? And he was like, yeah, but what’s your name. You’ve come up on my algorithm.

The Desert News caught up with Ryan Hamilton. Everybody knows Ryan Hamilton is from Idaho. You’d have to be an idiot to think he’s Canadian, right, right, Yes, so anyway, The Desert News talked to Ryan said that Ryan Amilton apologizes for talking too much and for name dropping when he mentions his friends Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld. They headed over to the Village Underground. Hamilton leisurely makes his way on stage, and then in an instant, the Ryan Hamilton I was talking to just seconds before expands into Ryan Hamilton the performer.

His smile, bigger eyes, wider voice, louder. He dances intentionally poorly as the house band plays, and he spends the first minute or two joking about his overwhelming whiteness. I dance like your cousin at a wedding.

And then he tests out some new material about generational differences.

He shares that he was hit by a bus one year ago. A number of people in the audience gas Ryan joke. If someone says I got hit by a car, people go oof. I’m so sorry. But if someone says I was hit by a bus, people go ooof and then imitated someone snorting to keep from laughing.

It’s a strange accident because it feels common, but it’s not common. We talk about it as if it happens a lot. We reference it all the time. Once you get hit by a bus, you’ll see it’s just the most easily accessible hypothetical death. I don’t know why, but I’m here to tell you to live your life because you might get hit by a bus.

Eight hundred pound Gorilla News, the former laugh Button, was the site they put an item about could Tina Fey takeover for Lorne Michaels on SNL. I’m not sure it’s actually news or just recycled old news, but they quoted a source who said I’d be surprised if it wasn’t her. Seth Meyers has his own show. Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg won’t come here. Judd Apatow passed on the job years ago.

Amy Poehler has her own stuff. Bill Hayter’s directing a movie. Kate McKinnon is two hots from podcast News Daily. They took a look at Donald Trump’s inability to get on the Joe Rogan experience. Rogan recently said I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form.

I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him. The Daily b says Team Trump is hoping to pressure Joe Rogan to have him on, even threatening to go negative on Rogan if he doesn’t.

Advisor Roger Stone has suggested a UFC styled cage match between himself meeting Stone, not Trump and Rogan. Apparently Trump listens to Rogan, he doesn’t taken in as personally, and Advisor said the drama bills an audience for when it eventually happens, okay. Margaret Chow was the headliner at the second annual comedy fund Stable Friends Stable fundraiser for LA based women’s treatment and recovery organization Friendly House. Righty says during Chow’s twenty minutes set, she discussed the Supreme Court’s reversal of rov Wade. I haven’t menstruated in a while, but when I heard that Rovie Wade was overturned, my uterus rose up from its casket, looking for an iron maiden concert.

My Filippian tube started popping and locking. I dropped an egg, a dinosaur egg. Anybody my age or older, We’ve lived with women’s rights, fighting for women rights for fifty years. The loss of that right really brought out the Atlantis anger. I think we all got our period out of her age.

Margaret also recalled her time on Dancing with the Stars and said it made her parents very proud because they love ballroom dancing. They acted like I was in the Olympics. They made me food in these little boxes to make sure my nutrition was dialed in. They would sit on the side and watch me rehearse. They were so nervous the whole time watching that, that they were moting this low pitch moan only I could hear.

Fellow contestants included Bristol Palin, daughter of former Republican governor Sarah Palin, and Choe said I miss those old Republicans. They really weren’t that bad. I feel so bad I’d talk so much stuff about them. I apologize to George W. Bush wholeheartedly.

The old Republicans weren’t as offensive as the new ones. Now. They’re like, all pronouns are patriot. It’s a noun they should be reading books instead of burning them. I challenge any insurrectionists to spell insurrectionist.

Choe addressed her own gender identity, saying I’ve never quite felt like a woman or man, and I always felt there was something in between. So having the option to be different as a statement to the world, saying I don’t have to be where you want me to be and I am more than what meets my thighs. She tagged it with I don’t change my pronouns. I’m too old, I’ll forget. The rest of the lineup included Daryl Hammond, Otsko at Kaska, Stephen Randolph, Sarah Rose Highland, and Drew Lynch.

Are you getting ready for MO Day? Well? On September sixteenth, Houstonians can celebrate Houston native comedian Mo a Mayor for Moday. He’ll be performing at Dubaio Music Center. Mayor Selvester Turner made the announcement, Moe represents the kind of talent we want to see more of in Houston because we support our artists, our writers, our comics, and people in the entertainment industry.

Moe announced he’ll give a portion of his proceeds to his alma mater, Hastings High Schools Theater, Arts and band department. He says, it’s a blessing, come back, come and enjoy the day, which is going to be about community, about laughter, about music, and truly is a celebration of Houston outside of myself, because I couldn’t made it without Houston. Hunter Hill is on tour. He’s been opening for Eliza Lessener and Taylor Thomlinson will He’s got his own tour now in October, he’ll be hitting to Houston and Dallas, Austin, Chicago, Denver, San Diego, Portland, Boston, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland. Hunter Hill Comedy dot com for information and from New Zealand stuff.

Thirty three year old comedian magician Jared Fell tells us about performing on a cruise ship. He leaves his family once or twice a month to board a cruise, which usually lasts between four and seven days. During the week, he’ll perform two forty five minute shows back to back on one night, often to quite a few drunk bogans. There’s my favorite word again, bogans. The rest of the time, he’s basically a passenger, he says.

The one downside is when you’re stuck on a ship, there’s no escape in the crowd, who always recognize you for the rest of the trip. It’s even worse after a bad show. You’re stuck on board with everybody and they see you eating and they come up to you in the elevator. It’s a week of heckling and if the show goes well, they think they’re your mate. That’s why I always hope you’re on the last night.

After the pandemic shut down touring the club that he worked at stop booking and fell lost his gigs. So he approached the ships directly and he offered to come on board, and they were like, can you be PG? And I was like, I’ll give it a go. He says he’s still edgy, he just doesn’t swear.

The Shark Deck, Johnny Man would You Daily Comedy News? THEO Van had Hulk Hogan on his podcast and they started talking about Hogan’s wrestling career and the topic shifted to Hulk’s girlfriend, Sky Daily. Hulk said she’s been around me a little bit now. THEO said she’s beautiful. THEO continued to praise her beauty, but then THEO suggested she’s better than Hulk is and looks, and that caused Hogan appears slightly offended.

Would there be some fisticuffs or is Hogan a professional wrestler who knows? But Hulk quickly clarified that THEO Van is not his type and playfully advised him to hold his horses back. Rain Wilson was up at Just for Laughs last week and said, I literally made dozens and dozens of headlines when I revealed on Bill Maher’s Drunken Smoky Rambling podcast that I had been deeply unsatisfied at times while working on the office. Dozens of dozens of outrage inducing clickbait articles for digital surfing pleasure, Yeah, including podcasts talking about it. Wait what the weird guy from the office was making millions and getting nominated for the Emmys, and he was unhappy.

The point I was making a bill, said Rain Wilson, was in context filled with nuance and vulnerability. Was just like all human beings. I was never really satisfied. Whatever success I had as an anchor, it was never enough. When I was on the office, I went through periods of time when all I could focus on was the things that were not happening in terms of my career, money, fame, envy, prestige.

Here’s the catch in comedy circles in Hollywood. The cool kids all pretend they’re nerds and losers and alienated outcasts. But really that’s just an act, and there’s no greater way to estrange yourself even further from the apex of the comedy industry is when you discuss God, the soul of spirituality everyone in the comedy where old especially are quite literally flushy manifestations of anxious discontent. Actors look for last from sitcom audiences, stand up comedians look for the approval of live audiences and clubs, and comedy artists take to youtubeer TikTok to portray bizarre characters or storylines for likes and fan bases. However, it must be said.

You’re also familiar with this idea if you work in insurance, solar panel sales, uber driving, agriculture, the manicure and pedicure industry, because duca is everywhere these days. I was unfamiliar with the word duca dukha. The Internet tells me it’s commonly translated as suffering or pain rain continued comedy is an active service. The thing that surprised me over the years around the success of the Office was how much it meant to people. The roll the show played in soothing folks during difficult times, providing healing laughter, bringing families together, and healing anxiety.

Humor is the best of all possible medicines. TMZ says Pete Davison is hitting back on the road. Good to hear that Pete is out of rehab. According to TMZ, Pete will do some stand up gigs in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this week. From Rolling Stone, country star Jimmy Allen, who I’m unfamiliar with, apparently two weeks ago, countersued two women who filed lawsuits alleging that the country singer sexually assaulted them.

Well, Jimmy Allen is going to tell jokes on a comedy tour. Now, he announced a brief runt of shows which he’s calling the I Said What I said comedy Tour. He announced this on Instagram. He was smiling and shrugging. According to his insta, the three shows will be in October and our invitation own.

He didn’t announce the cities and where the venues in which he’ll appear. Allen wrote, I said what I said, and I’m gonna say it again during my three night comedy tour coming this October. All shows are invite only, so be sure to sign up with your email via link and bio would receive the latest news and had to win tickets. Apparently, mister Allen will also perform at the first Annual Salute to American Heroes, a fundraising concert in Clear Order, Florida, on November fourth. Jim Gaffigan announced some dates Cairo November sixteenth, re Odd November eighteenth, Dubai.

In November twenty five, Rommy Yuseff was also up at Just for Laughs. He told the audience about his Egyptian born father discouraging him from becoming an entertainer. He was always like, this is a beautiful hobby. For you to have grow the hobby. But I remember him clearly saying one day, real life is going to start.

Rommy also discussed mixing his religion with his performance, saying, I had this big thing when we were shooting the first season of the show and we shot the scene where I was praying, and I was like, should I be doing this? This is weird? This is what I do in my personal time. Did I just sell this to the Disney Corporation some quick cows cleaning? Thanks to Cheryl who bought me two coffees at buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News.

That’s a good way to support the show. You got to buy me at coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News, and there’s some money in the tip jar. When I got the notification that Cheryl had bought two copies, I happened to be at breakfast. I was at Cafe Zara and ann Arbor, Michigan, eating breakfast, and I immediately put the coffee money to use. Thank you, Cheryl.

Also thanks to everybody who weighed in on last week’s interviews. For the most part, they were well received and I’ve been encouraged to do it more. I think I’ll do more around the Toronto Festival.

Also want to shout out Tom who shot me a note about the show about another to…

And to unnamed person, I think you instant messaged me, so since you didn’t do it publicly, I will hold your name back. But you know who you are. Who sent me a note about how to get rid of the pet odor in my basement studio. It seems to be gone today. I wasn’t thinking about it.

David Spade announced the Catch Me Inside tour. It’ll start September twenty three at the Town Hall in New York City, then onto Wilkesbury, Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, Sacramento, Houston, Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Philly. Information at Davidspade dot com. The Fringe Festival starts on Friday. Some of the shows include Dan Tiernan’s Going Under.

It is said that Dan embodies both a giddiness and ferocity on stage, from high energy mania to perfectly crafted gags. He’s especially great at following each winning punch line with an even better topper. He’ll be at the Monkey Barrel. Johnny Pellham’s show is called Optimism Over to Spare. He makes a mockery of the lazy refrain you can’t joke about anything these days.

He is the exceptionability to mind the biggest of last from the darkest of places. He’ll be at the pleasants courtyard upstairs. And a sad note from Jim Jeffreys. Jim has shared a touching tribute to his nephew after confirming that Jim’s nephew is among those presumed dead in a Queensland Army helicopter crash. The Australian Army chopper was conducting a joint military exercise as part of Operation Talesman Saber.

It crashed in the waters off the wit Sunday Islands on Friday. Captain Daniel Lyon, Lieutenant Maxwell Nugent, or an officer class to Joseph Laycock, and Corporal Alexander Naggs were named by the Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Simon Stewart as the four involved in the crash.
