Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News from Pollstar eating SNL’s Lunch. How Tony Hinchcliffs Killed Tony podcast became your favorite comedian’s favorite show and sold out MSG twice. Pollstar tells us the MSG shows sold twenty ninety three tickets across the two nights, averaging twelve five hundred ninety six per night, engrossing a total two million, three eighty nine. According to the Box Office report submitted to Polestar, that a really nice profile about the show.

I shared it in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News podcast group. Polestar says, if you do well as a regular on Kill Tony, you might become a Hall of Famer like David Lucas, introduced by Tony Hinchcliffe as the dark Roast God when he came on stage. Pollstar said he lived up to his name, shredding anybody sitting on the panel next to Hinchcliff, including Rogan, Shane Gillis, David tel Adam ray Is, Joe Biden, and Shane Gillis Is Donald Trump. On night two, Tony said, watching my regular get to have the moment of their lives up there to watch people that got pulled out of a bucket have an opportunity. Going from sitting in the audience not knowing if they’re performing the performing in the greatest arena of all time made me feel so happy.

I feel like I haven’t even begun to come down yet. Luckily, a lot of my friends that were part of the show been calling and telling me the same thing. It makes me feel more human. Getting a call from Andrew dice Clay saying that was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of the adrenaline.

Diyce was the first comedian to ever sell out MSG, and here we are, many decades later and he’s losing sleep over it. It makes me feel like I’m okay. And I’ve been getting those calls from absolutely everybody. The Black Keys, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Rogan, and another person who some people feel is the worst person they’ve ever met in the history of life. I’m not going to say the person’s name.

Everybody that was part of it. The Black Keys opened the second night of kil Tony and MSG. Aaron Rodgers came out to throw kill Tony footballs in the audience. Rogan appeared after being called a coward by Shane Gillis for endorsing Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

Over the two days, Brian Holtzman, Paully Shore, Big, Jay Ogerson, Jeff Ross, Ari Shaffer, Jim Norton, Harlan Williams, Joe Rosa, and Moore had performed don at least one of the episodes. That is great. I don’t think they’ve released it on YouTube yet. Last time I checked, it wasn’t up yet. I hope they do, unless they’re saving it for something.

Tony said, It’s just surreal to have those guys be part of it. It’s absolutely a milestone in my life. It took months and months of hard work and me sitting at a desk all by myself, trying to picture how this could go, what the flow would be like, just envisioning the two nights of explosion that everybody got to see. It was a lot of manifesting, a lot of picturing. Executing it, quite frankly, was the easiest, less stressful, most fun part.

I got to sit back and just watch my vision come true. One of the things that makes our show special is that you’re seeing different people, different shapes and sizes and races and ages and everything. Usually with long form podcasts, you’re watching two people have a conversation about different topics for a long time. But on this show, I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s fireworks.

There’s different colors and explosions, different moments, and even some duds that make you realize that the whole thing is live and anything can happen, which makes you appreciate the great moments that much more. Ange Cliff also talked about the Roast of Tom Brady and said I was adapting it up until the very last second. Everything was changing. I was making edits, adding things, cutting things out, and repositioning things. I’ve prepared a lot of those shows for the roast, but I didn’t know how and when I was going to do it.

I decided very early on when I got there that I was going to go from left to right and be the only one that moves around. Was trying to figure out what the main cameras were seeing so they could see me and also the person I was roasting, so I was directing while I was performing. It was a lot of work and a lot of adrenaline, a real blur and an absolute blast, one of the highlights of my life. A lot more there. I’ll hold on to this because traditionally, the week after Labor Day is a slow week, so I might need the rest of that story next week, and I’ll hold on to it.

Let’s see, I’m editing on the fly here. I’ve got more from Nikki Glaser from that Vogue article, which I think is best done as Triumph, the insult comic dog channeling Nicki. But this is the third straight podcast I’m recording, and I’m already losing my voice. If I start doing Triumph, I’m going to lose it, all right, let me bounce you for now. Late Night I spoke to Langston Kerman.

Langston was a writer on John Mulini’s Netflix pseudo Late Night Show. Kerman said, you put Lunel and Pete Davidson and all these big personalities on a couch and they’re going to do what they do, and you sort of have to be on your feet and malleable Mulaney’s the best at that and just accepting whatever being offered to him and figuring out a way to navigate it. Mulanie’s ask of us was not to write to him. It was to write to things we actually thought that we wanted to try, or things that we thought would be really interesting that would be able to take the helm on because he hired a bunch of producer level folks who we wanted to be able to activate and say, hey, go make this thing on your own with our money and our cameras. John Mulaney noticed Kerman’s show bust Down, which lasted just one season, and said John was so into it.

At one point he had sort of reached out basically being like, Hey, if you guys end up doing season two, I’d love to come on as a producer, maybe even be your Danny DeVito fifth in an always sunny kind of vibe. We were like, that’d be awesome. Then Peacock was like, we don’t give an f We’re not doing this ever again. Stavros Alkiez is headed to the big screen. He announced on social media that his feature film Let’s Start a Cult will be in theater’s October twenty fifth.

The log line for Let’s Start a Cult. Having missed out on his cult’s long awaited ritual suicide, an obnoxious loser teams up with his bogus x Messiah to rebuild their doomsday commune. Traveling together through Middle America, the constantly bickering duo induct a military wanna bee, a mentally unstable mom, and a mysterious foreign hitchhiker into their cult. But will this family of outcasts fulfill their transcendent destiny or decide this life might be worth living at all? I can already see the protests.

People are gonna be so mad at that log line. Stavro said. It’s really dumb and fun, with jokes every minute, and a ton of hilarious people are in it. There are appearances from Joe Para, Tom Poppa, and professional wrestler at cmpunk. Kelsey Cook hosts the Pretend Problems podcast.

Whether they’re partner comedian Chad Daniels, Kelsey says, I personally love it, especially because Chad has been doing stand up longer than me. He’s my favorite comedian. His new special on Netflix is really good. It is in my top of the year, and so we have zero sense of competition between us and our careers, which is pretty crucial for two comics dating. You have to be actively rooting for each other and have no underlying feelings of fomo if one person gets something and the other doesn’t.

We’ve been really fortunate that we both feel like each other’s success only helps the other. We just want each other to succeed. The only time it can be tough is our schedules. We both have to tour to make money. We’re trying to figure out some ways next year to do tour dates together, which I’m really excited about.

Hulu creating their own branches stand up Commenty. They’re licensing a group of specials that have already been released. The Hustler’s been on YouTube for a little over a year now. To continue to live on YouTube, which is great, but now to be on Hulu as well, which hopefully we’ll reach a whole new audience that’s super exciting. Lamar and Morris is in that new Saturday Night Live movie called Saturday Night, and he said it was a chaotic filming.

He plays Garrett Morris. He told Vanity Fair, I gotta say it was chaotic. That might have been intentional because it’s all one big cast, the same way it was back in Opening Night when there was so much confusion of what we were doing. There was a lot of that while filming too. He explained that filming involved a lot of big long shots which were really difficult to get right.

Once you’re doing take number twenty twenty two, twenty three, the pressure’s on and the actors are tightening up. Really to see who’s gonna mess up this shot? After a six minute take, you’re like, which one of us is gonna screw this up? For everybody, Wright men directed the hell out of this thing. It’s a great look at day one at SNL, the ups and downs, how the show almost didn’t happen.

The character is obviously now we know fifty years later what the show’s become. But to see the origin of it and the actors in this movie will blow oh your mind. Saturday night in theaters, October eleventh, and my voice is shot. This is gonna be the last story of this recording session. Congratulations to English comedian Amy Gledhill.

Amy has won Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The director of the Comedy Awards, Nika Burns, said the judges love the fact that she blends writing that echoes the genius of Victoria Wood combined with the magical physicality of Julie Walters. This show is make Me Look fit. Judge Byrne said Amy’s show is joyful, delightful, and full of laughter. It’s a show back with jokes and so much hard that everyone in the audience falls utterly in love with her and has a wonderful time.

Also, congratulations to Joe Kent Walters, who won the Best Newcomer award. Judge BYRNS says Joe Kent Walters as great the extraordinary character of Frankie monrou which is both a love letter and satirization of a workingman’s club MC. His accomplishment is such that it’s hard to believe this is Joe’s first Fringe hour. Joe draws on a range of skills including pantomime, musical comedy, and stand up to bring you into Frankie’s world. My voice is shut comedy news for today.

I got plenty of leftovers. I will be here tomorrow and I’ll see you then.

Caloroga Shark Media. Man, Johnny Mack, you think you could do something a little up beat the back half of Thursday’s podcast where you talked about Jerry Lewis Film of the Day, the Clown Cried, and the Nazi stuff in there. That was a little heavy. Johnny Mack, What are you doing, hey, listener? You think you got a bad I’m recording Thursday and Friday back to back because I got some stuff going on in my life and I had a pre tape.

I just told that story in my world ninety seconds ago. I’m still feeling it. But it is hot take time. Here’s a hot take. I didn’t come up with this hot take, but I will read you a hot take.

The hot take is Joe Rogan is too powerful in the comedy world, oh know. Chris Beck wrote for Splice Today the lead off sentence the comedians he promotes or as annoying as a midnight car alarm. Oh wow, Okay, so we’re gonna come for Joe Rogan here, let’s see what Chris Beck has to say. In January, comedian Kat Williams start up the comedy world blah blah blah for some truth telling Joe got six comedians that have never been funny that he just wants to push out, said Kat Williams. Williams didn’t identify the comedians.

Chris Beck has speculated that those comedians are Brendan Schaub, Bert Krescher, Tom Sigora, Andrew Schultz, Ari Shafir, and Brian Callen. Beck writes, Brendan Shab has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience ninety one times. Still, he’s merely a filler guest who gets the call so often because he’s Rogan’s buddy, and Rogan’s loyal to his pals. However uninteresting that may be, you don’t tell him out. Mike from The Letterman Podcast and I we’ve been talking about doing something semi regular, and it’s not like, oh, I have nothing to talk about, let me just bug Mike from the Letterman Podcast.

We just really get along and like talking about stuff. The only reason we haven’t done it yet is because of scheduling. But like, I have no problem with Joe Rogan going here’s a reliable guest that I like talking to. That’s what you do, Chris Beck writes, Shab’s comedy special Gringo Poppy, filmed in Dallas. I have not seen.

It is the least funny event who happened in that town since the Kennedy assassination. Rogan won’t even let Shop appear at the Mothership. Bert Kreischer, with thirty seven Joe Rogan Experience appearances, is another member of Rogan’s goon squad, although unlike Shop, he’s had financial success as a comedian. He had an adventure show on the Travel Channel and a low rated comedy special on Showtime. When Rogan called him up and told him to quit TV because he was a storyteller he should be telling stories on stage.

Yeah, wasn’t that pretty good advice? Hey Bert Kraser, you know that story you have about the machine, it’s a good story. You should tell it. That’s great advice from Joe Rogan to made the dude’s career. And it’s a good bit and the movie was fine.

Kreischer’s signature move is to take a shirt off, exposing his obast torso he does this during his act and even while sitting on a couch on a podcast. Why it’s a look at me move from a guy who graves attention. Like all of Rogan’s squad does. Dude, do you think there’s a single stand up comedian who doesn’t crave attention? Well, that’s why they’re up there.

I will work with a lot of comedians. They’re all at least a little crazy. When Krascher appeared on Tony Hinchcliff’s popular comedy show Killed Toun, New York comic Jim Norton cracked a funny ed lib. Instead of letting Norton take all the well deserved applause for the audience, Chraysier Adopta’s shirt so we could get in on the action. Dude, come on man, all right, continuing, Tom Sagora has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience forty one times.

He was funny when he was chubby, but after he hired a personal trainer and buffed up, the laugh started to go away. Of his xs pounds. All right, So Burt Kreischer is too fat. Tom Sagora is too fit. His act is now like listening to your boring friend who won’t stop talking about the funny things his kids do.

It’s the laziest form of comedy. No, it’s not the laziest form of comedy. The laziest form of comedy is just getting up and saying something vulgar for vulgar’s sake. I used to illustrate this and teach her to my college classes, and I used to just out of nowhere go and then I punched her in the place you probably shouldn’t punch a woman. Dave Chappelle has used a similar joke.

I heard Chappelle do it after I pointed this out. Anyway, when I used to randomly say and then I punched her in and I would get laughs, and then I would point out to this class, I didn’t even tell a joke there. That’s the laziest form of comedy. And again I’m not a comedian. I’m just illustrating.

I could say something really vulgar or really outrateous and get a chuckle out of you. It doesn’t make for good comedy. Actually, the article last year, when I had an airport employee made Tom Sigora check his bag. He had a two day meltdown, beginning with his tweet dumb seaword from airlines made me geet check my bag so she can feel little power that she has in her life. I get it.

You win this round, Seaword when this repulsive prima doma like Range elicited a bunch of negative responses from his fans. Sigura duck deeper, tweeting all the pores and losers have the same response, Oh you were inconvenience, Well you should accept it. Sigor has let his money go to his head. Continuing the article, Andrew Schultz is another Rogan regular who got some fame began to buy the hype. Schltz is annoying before he opens his mouth because of the bizarre Hitler esque haircut he’s sported lately.

Okay, so now we’re going to judge people on their looks. Maybe you don’t like his stylized haircut doesn’t mean he’s not funny. It’s the equivalent of Bert Kreischer’s gross shirtless look as an attention grabbing device. I almost lipp in a triumph there again. Should I do that bit again?

Schultz once charged his fans for his latest comedy special and then put it on Netflix a month later. That happens a lot. Dude. Brian Kallen has appeared on The Joe Rowan Experience eighty six times. Callen’s not as annoying as the rest of Rogan’s boys, but he’s hardly worth mentioning.

He’s made four comedy specials but hasn’t been able to sell any to a streaming service. Or Shaffer has sixty seven Joe Rogan experience appearances. We have to behave, but when it appears, I’m killed. Tony He’s known for pulling his testicles out. He’s violent too.

Comedian Bobby Lee once invited some of his mat TV buddies to LA’s Comedy Store for a set. Shafiro’s girlfriend was there, met with one of Lee’s friends, and was soon dating him. Shafir blamed Lee and physically assaulted him on three different occasions. I’ve never heard that story. I’ve in fact checked it, but one should not physically assault anyone.

Now. I have googled here Shaffir assault Lee, and there are several youtubes, TikTok’s reddits, nothing from anything that I would consider a major news source. So I just want to throw that out there. I don’t know what’s true or not. Again, I am reading from an article in Splice Today under the headline Joe Rogan is too powerful in the comedy world.

Shaffir’s comic Cretch is trying to be edgy even though he’s fifty. Can you not be edgie at fifty? George Carlin was pretty edgy. On the day of Kobe Brian’s death, Shafir wrote on Twitter, Kobe Bryant died twenty three years too late. Today he got away with rape because of all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape.

I hate the Lakers. What a great day. That caused an Internet firestorm about a bad joke, but there’s no joke there. It’s a straight troll, reasonably fair. There are some aspects to Kobe Bryant’s biography then I’m not going to litigate here, but on that particular day, that did feel a little too soon.

I remember that day anyway. Interesting article there in a Joe Rogan hot take. My take, Joe Rogan has been very good for stand up comedy. Comedy comes in many forms. You might like the Austin scene.

You might like the New York brick walls smoking cigarette guys. You might like the La All scene. It’s all good. Dean Cole’s got a new special coming to Netflix. It is called Okay Mister.

In it Dean Cole recalls the telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, at dating deal breakers and more. Let’s listen to a bit of the trailer. I’m cutting a little bit early here. He’s got one more punch line after I cut. But it’s a little naughty when.

Black people cheet, like we dip off with somebody else. You know, we’d like to go to white establishments because we know ain’t no black people there to see us. I was with this girl one day. She was like, why you got me at this medieval castle? Dean Cole.

Okay, mister, filmed back in May in La. Part of the Netflix is a joke festival. Okay, mister. On Netflix September seventeenth. I’ve mentioned this before, but they’re bringing back Chris Rocks.

Everybody still Hates Chris. This time it’s animated. It will be on Comedy Central. We now have a date September twenty fifth at ten pm. I have no idea why we’re making this.

Love You Chris Rock, but I don’t think anybody really cared about the the first time. But now it’s an animated series. Okay, fine, in Everybody still hates Chris Chris Rock narrates stories inspired by his experience growing up as a skinny nerd, you know, working class family in Betstye, Brooklyn during the eighties. Terry Crews plays dad. Tim Johnson Junior plays young Chris, a nerd who wants to be cool, but he’s outshined by his younger brother, tortured by his little sister, and foiled by his cheapskate dad.

All right, let’s do some political stuff from both sides. Kamil nan Gianni says he’s been in touch with the Harris Walls campaign about getting involved with the election. Kamal says, I’m gonna make videos to get people to register to vote. I might make some appearances later. I think it’s really important everybody registered to vote and everybody does vote.

Whoever you vote for, that’s on you. But you gotta vote. Please register to vote. Camille says it’s really unbelievable how I was feeling a month and a half ago and how I’m feeling now. It’s really inspiring.

This has given me faith in humanity. I just feel lighter and happier. I’m gonna say I’m fighting to stay hopeful and not get too optimistic or confident. There’s still a lot of work to do. Tim Dillon made a lot of fun of Kamala Harris on his podcast.

Tim said, Kamala Harris is running on I’m not even kidding the word joy Joy be happy. There’s nothing to do with healthcare. She said. We’re going to stop the food from being expensive, fatty, You’re gonna be able to eat for less. That’s what Kamalo’s platform is.

She wants to put price controls on the food or platform. Right now, the only policy we know about is essentially a sign in a Vegas restaurant eat for less. That’s all she said. She’s gonna let these fatty boom patties into the grocery store. From the Moscow Times, they will have a new show about Joe Biden.

This one is called Goodbye. In Goodbye, the character Joe Biden travels to Russia incognito to find out why his sanctions aren’t working against Russians. During the visit, Joe Biden loses his passport and finds himself trapped in Russia. He’s then forced to live in a Soviet era apartment block and work as an English teacher to save money so he can buy a new passport for his return home.

Meanwhile, CIA agents whisk away retan pensioner Ivanovich, who looks just li…

Yes, it’s a body swap comedy. It won’t be out until twenty twenty five. Though that’s too late, guys. No one’s gonna care about this a year. You got to get this out next week.

Russian actor Dmitri Jusef, who’s best known for his role as Cosmos in the hit gangster series Brigata, We’ll play Joe Biden. Photos taken during the production show Dmitri dressed up in a silver gray wig and wearing pearly white genters. He was quoted in the press release of saying, I’m really curious to see what will come of our bold experiment and whether the audience will be able to recognize me and Biden and Biden and me. Nevertheless, I can guarantee it will be a kind, lifelike and funny story. And that is your comedy news for today.

This weekend will be normal episodes. I’ve got plenty of been working on it for some time. You know. I hate producers that wake up and go, oh my god, it’s labor day. Weekend, I don’t have anything.

We should take the week off. I plan so I’ve got shows for you and I’ll meet you back here tomorrow. See you there

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Shane Gillis isn’t a new bud Light commercial. USA Today points out Shane Gillis drinking a bud Light for a college football game isn’t exactly headline news. A quick scroll through his Instagram and you can see Shane and his friends enjoying bud Lights while out at various events.

In January, Shane announced a partnership with bud Light. They have a new campaign rolling out across TV and social media. Ton Allen is bud Light’s senior vice president of Marketing. He said, as a passionate college football fan himself, Shane Gillis was the perfect partner to connect to our college football audience with his distinct style of humor. And it doesn’t hurt that Shane loves a bud Light or two on game day, all right.

In this commercial, which I’m going to play most of for you, it’s called The Dean’s Office. Shane Gillis plays Coach Herb who’s brought into the office for a meeting between the college dean and a football player in trouble. A bucket of bud Lights is offered in exchange for the truth. Let’s take a listen. It takes a minute to get rolling, but once we get to Shane major payoff.

Here you go, Bobby, you’ve been accused of pagiarizing your master’s thesis. If you were found guilty, you will have to forego the football season. But if you confess, I will make it only half the season. I’ll make you a deal. You tell the truth, you can have this ice cold bucket of bud light.

All you have to do is confess, all right. I’ll go first, grease the wheels a little. What no, I confess said? I practice my halftime speeches in the shower before games. Professor Wilkins, do you want to confess anything?

No, all right, I’ll go for you. Professor Wilkins has been taking karate classes ever since that saxophone girl put him in a headlock. Jane Gillis provided an exclusive statement to USA Today in which Shane Gillis says, I’ve spent the past couple of years working with these guys on projects from beautiful dogs to tires. Getting to shoot new shorts with them and bud was a lot of fun, all right. Adam Sandler recaps.

Here’s the deal. I’ve got some stuff going on in my personal life. I had a tape a couple days in advance, so I’m actually recording today because I’m not around today. I had to record this on Tuesday. My plan here as I sit here in the basement is to actually watch Adam Sandlor.

But as I record, I haven’t seen it yet. But a bunch of reviews are out, the first from USA Today, Who Right, there are two Adam Sandlers. One is the in your face, lowest common denominator fort and penis joke guy you know and maybe love, depending on your comedic taste. Johnny Mack personally hates that the other is getting a little bit older, a little bit romantic and very nostalgic. I like the older Adam Sandler.

I’ve talked about this. I openly don’t like most of his movies, and I think some of the more dramatic roles, I think he’s actually pretty good at it, and I’d like to see him do more of that. USA Today Right says for the special these two men meet in an odd dysfunctional marriage and Sandler’s new Netflix special Adam Sandler, Love You. They gave a two and a half stars out a four. The hour long special is a foe off the cuff event directed by one of Sandler’s uncut Gem’s collaborators, Josh Safti.

It makes more odd penis and sex jokes than you would expect, with a bit of melancholy and softness sorry my brain locked on penis jokes and softness, I know, plus some unreality pretending to be real. Altogether, it’s a little joring, sometimes off putting, but also kind of sweet. Love You is nowhere near the heights of his last special, twenty eighteen’s one hundred percent fresh. That outing was full of energy and newness. Spoilers.

Love You opens with Sandler driving a car with a shattered windshield into an alley. He’s instantly overcome by fans and gets a hoodie from a stranger. It’s meant to be raw footage, but in reality it’s clearly scripted to be weird and off putting, complete with a random ventriloquist as Saandlor’s opening act. It stinks of Safty involvement, as films from Safty and his brother Benny, including Gems in Good Time, are known for their stressful, slightly off killed re version of the real world. It doesn’t really work or does a series of technical glitches after Sandler takes the stage that might have been real or but also come off scripted.

This is really interesting. Now I’m looking forward to watching this and considering the special was filmed over four nights, that’s the most logical conclusion. Yeah, that’s too that they had to take four different nights to make an hour here or seventy minutes here. A little weird coffee in hand, which he demands to be sweetened with Stevia and not a different artificial sugar. Sandler begins a row call of middling jokes about life, veering from the mundane to the fantastic.

Old topics include genies, talking balloons, other mythical characters. He’s never been the kind of comedian to invite the audience into his actual personal life, even if some of his experiences as a husband, father, and celebrity sneak into a storytelling. There are many many of his typical, less than tasteful jokes. Kids walking in on their parents having sex, a genie tricking Sandler in a performing something naughty in an airport bathroom, songs about old guys with kids. The list goes on the line between funny and vulgar has crossed more than once, but that’s nothing new for Sandler.

This is USA today. But then there are the simple, folksy kind of jokes that hit without inducing. Rob Schneider appears in an Elvis Presley get up to do a really solid impression of the King as Saandlor sings along. I played on The Weekly Comedy Thing. That’s the show I host on Live One.

I played a Schneider bit where he was doing Yoko and Julian Lennon. Now, the Yoko is every stereotype you can imagine, but the Julian Lennon was pretty good. It was basically doing Lennon as the John Lennon everyone does. But it was really entertaining. Anyway.

That show is called The Weekly Comedy Thing. It’s on the Live One app. The show is free. The app is free if you want to check that out. I do that once a week, new episodes every Sunday.

The Elvis thing is not really a joke so much as a solid musical interlude. The Chicago Sun Times reviewed Adam Sandler’s new special and say we are living in the age of the streaming comedy special when it seems like there’s at least one new stand up show every week. Yes, there are the first five minutes of Love You Play, like a deleted scene from uncut Gems, with Saidler pulling up an allie. I has talked about that one sailor’s inside. It’s clear the venue isn’t exactly the United Center or American Airlines arena.

Sandler wonders aloud, who booked this place? So like, I haven’t seen it yet. That sounds kind of lame, like Adam Sandler’s walking in having no idea where he’s performing. I mean, that’s just not true. So you know, I have two minds here.

One it’s comedy, Just laugh whatever, have a good time. But if the underlying premise is, oh, I can’t believe I’m in this arena? How did this happen? How is my Netflix special being filmed here? That seems a little leame to me.

But again, I haven’t seen it yet, he sometimes wrights. Turns out the grubbiness of the venue was literally built into the production, as Saftie in the production design team built the Nockturn Theater in Glendale, California into a ramshackle disaster that looks like it’s on the brink of being shut down. It’s strange to see one of the biggest comedy stars of his generation in such a down skill setting. But it’s never not interesting. None of this would matter if the material isn’t there and that department Sandler delivers a hilarious yet thought provoking mix of jokes and songs.

Not everything works, mostly though, Sandler comes through where he’s telling a story that sounds like it’s pulled from real life but quickly turns absurd. We’re playing solid guitar while performing these genre hopping songs, and a friend of the podcast, Jason Zinnemann in The New York Times, writes, Adam Sandler, at fifty seve Vin hasn’t lost a step before it became a huge star. Sandler made proudly filthy and beloved comedy albums full of irreverence. Sketches the Chronicle subjects like an extremely long bout of urination. I’m gonna jump in and again.

I respect Jason Zineman, and as I told Jason Zinneman when he was on the pod, Jason knows more about comedy than I do. But I’m going to push back on beloved comedy albums. And here’s why I programmed a serious comedy for ten years, and especially in the area of programming on Live one and Slacker. I can tell you Adam Sandler bits are not loved. Like, for example, on the Live one app, you can thumbs up and thumbs down things, and I get to see all the data.

Anytime I schedule Adam Sandler stuff. It is at the bottom of any playlist, all of them. They are not beloved, at least by the people that use the Live one app. These are not beloved. Jason Zinneman, but love you, Jason writes, the new Special can feel like a throwback to that era.

If anything, age allows new avenues for potty humor. Sandler hasn’t exactly matured that was destroy his comedy so much as allowed sentiment to overtake the humor he had helped from family, his wife and daughters, and now as much of regulars as his work as Chris Rock, David Spade, and his old friends from snl are. Sandler gives his old pal Rob Schneider an unnecessary cameo doing an Elvis impression. The best parts of the special are its long winding, dirty stories told in its characteristic mumble in crooked angles and close ups. Safty shoots Sandler watching his show fall apart a dog runs on stage.

The video doesn’t work. Sandler makes one joke about his own fame and stature, but the visuals undercut any hero worship, even putting silhouettes on the heads of audience members in the foreground. He’s playing a small room and speaking softly about juvenile things. For certain kind of comedy, that’s all you need. Jason also wrote about Langston Kerman’s bad poetry that one I did watch last weekend, and you know it was okay.

I just didn’t do anything for me, so I bailed on it. But Jason writes in his Terrific debut Hour, Langston Kerman displays the kind of effortless, laid back charm that can make you underestimate him. There’s an ease with which he moves between talking about his mother’s romantic life for the student cruelty experience when he was a school teacher that can make his act seemed tossed off. You might also think he benefits from great stories, like an amazing one about a man his mother married who was fired from his job as an NBA mascot. But there’s a precision to his low key stories and attention to detail that puts jokes across.

His setups and punchlines are solid. Even his transitions contain gems, like all our heroes are monsters, and all our monsters have podcasts. The Punchline Comedy Club is opening with Dave Chappelle. It’s their new location at twelve oh four Caroline in Houston, inside the former House of Blues restaurant, space capacity two hundred and fifty. Dave Chappelle will perform September sixth and seventh at the new location.

It’s probably sold out by the time you hear my voice. I tell you. The Traitorers wanted Ricky Gervais to be on their show. Ricky has responded on Twitter saying he loves the show and I’m very flattered, but it won’t happen. I’m too busy and there’s no way they could afford me.

He wrote that alongside an emoji of a face wearing sunglasses. So when I put a show together, I have these little documents and I’ll put the stories and I’ll slot them in a different day. For example, if you announced a comedy special coming out December first, and I got a press release, I would not only mention it today, but in the December first folder, I would put it there to remind me to talk about it three months from now. And the other thing I do is like say, I’m gonna talk about Adam Sandler. I just have one word, all right, Sandler, to let me know as I go into the next story, what I’m about to talk about.

What I’m about to talk about here is Michael Keaton. But for some reason I spelled it k E A R t O w N. I don’t know how that happened. Kereton, Michael Kereton. You know him, he was Batman.

Well, he’s also in Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. I know I’m not falling for it. I’m not saying that word a third time. You know what happens if you say it three times?

Michael Keaton said. The only thing I was worried about was should we have left it alone? You know, should we have just said, don’t touch it, just walk away, go make your other movies. So for me, it was a big roll of the dice at the end of the day. If somebody said you have to pick one thing you’ve done how I make my living, I’d probably pick that character that I’m not saying if it’s all encompassing thing, just for it.

Sorry, you know what I mean. I mean in you know, some pretty good movies, but this sequel is something different. I’m looking forward to this one. Do you know what The Day the Clown Cried is is? It is an unfinished and unreleased nineteen seventy two drama directed by and starring Jerry Lewis.

Okay, have you heard of this? It is one of the most famous loss films in history. It’s so bad, Jerry Lewis declared it should never be seen. Every now and then I hear stories of like a secret screening in a Los Angeles. I’ve seen a recreation of it on YouTube.

So what’s so bad about The Day the Clown Cried? How bad could it be? Where? Here’s the synopsis of a new film called Darkness to Light. Darkness to Lights synopsis reads.

In nineteen seventy two, the King of comedy, Jerry Lewis, was at the peak of his career, driven by the ambition to play a dramatic role for change, he set out to craft a very special movie project for himself, The Day the Clown Cried. It turned out to be an epic fiasco, becoming an elusive ghost of a movie, with Lewis leaving the set and never speaking about what happened. The movie was never completed and has become the ultimate Hollywood myth. Okay, what’s the deal John? How bad could this movie be?

In the Day the Clown Cried, Jerry Lewis plays a German clown in a concentration camp. Now the story I’m cripping off here doesn’t talk about it, but basically spoilers for a fifty year old movie that’s never coming out. The Nazis something something with Jerry Lewis the clown and Jerry Lewis the clown, performs to distract the children, who then get led to the gas chambers. This is a Jerry Lewis film. It never came out, So I’m looking forward to this documentary And if you really scour the Internet you can’t find the film.

It really has been put away. I’m pulling up the Wikipedia right here. Jerry Lewis repeatedly insisted The Day the Clown crid would never be released. Later donated an incomplete copy of the film to the Library of Congress in twenty fifteen. Under the stipulation it was not to be made available before June of twenty twenty four.

According to Lewis’s son, there is no complete negative of the film, and outstanding copyright issues have prevented its release. Wikipedia has the plot as Helmet Dork Doork. Helmet Dork is a washed up German circus clown during the beginning of World War Two in the Holocaust. He was once a famous performer who toured North American Europe with the Ringling Brothers. Dork has now passed his prime receives little respect.

After Dork causes an accident during a show, the head clown convinces the circus owner to demote Dork. Upon returning home, Dork confines his problems to his wife Ada, and she encourages him to stand up for himself. He goes back to the circus something Something. Helmet is arrested by the Gestapo for drunkenly mocking Adolf Hitler in a bar. He’s in prison in a Nazi camp for the next three to four years.

He remains there while hoping for a trial and had a chance to plete his case. Subplots about his time in the prison. The other prisoners go dork in a performing for them, but he doesn’t realize that he’s actually not that good. The other prisoners beat him up and leave him in the courtyard to sulk. He sees a group of Jewish children laughing at him from the other side.

Delighted to be appreciated, Helmett performs for them and gains an audience until the new prison commandant orders him to stop. Helmut learns that fraternizing with Jewish prisoners is strictly forbidden. Unable to leave the children in a state of unhappiness, he continues to perform for them more plots, skipping ahead. Seeing a use for the commandant assigns him to help load Jewish children on trains leading out of the internment camp with a promise that his case will be reviewed. By a twist of fate, he ends up accidentally accompanying the children on a box car train to Auschwitz.

He’s eventually used in pied piper fashion to help the Jewish children to their deaths in the gas chamber. On February twenty third, nineteen seventy three, Jerry Lewis appeared as a guest on The Dickcavit Show, where he stated the film would complete editing in six to seven weeks and had been invited premiere at the Cannes Film Festival that May. It would be released in America after that, the film was never officially released and remains unreleasable to the failure to secure the underlying rights. In twenty twelve, French director Xeviergani told a talk show he had managed to track down a seventy five minute copy of the film and had shown it to a number of people, and I don’t see it here, but I feel like there was an only screening of it at one point, like you had to be in the cool kids club. Anyway, I’m looking forward to that documentary.

There’s no way I’m digging out of this hole and making the end of this podcast fun. So let’s just get out and that’s your comedy news for today. I will see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Guys, I’m gonna have to go full George Lopez tacos on Nikki Glaser. I just can’t anymore with this, Nicky, Please stop. Hello. I’m Johnny Mack with your daily com news from Vogue.

Liking this woman is part of my identity now. Comedian Nikki Glaser on attending twenty two Taylor Swift Eras concerts. How many of these articles are we gonna do? Okay, Nicky, you crushed on the rest of Tom Brady. Great, You’re like the hot comedian right now?

Great? You like Taylor Swift. Great enough with this? This is like the George Lopez tacos. I can’t read an article about this every day, Nicki tells Vogue.

It makes me feel so good. I don’t drink anymore, and I try not to do drugs, and honestly, this is just a really good drug. I’m kind of addicted. I get a little bit sad at the idea that it’s gonna run out at some point and I’ll probably have to replace it with something else. But it’s not really hurting anyone, so I just lean into it.

The more I embrace it, the less I’m embarrassed by it. At this point in my life, I’m not embarrassed by it at all, or I wouldn’t be talking to you about it. Yeah, no kidding. When I first moved to LA I had a roommate I met off Craigslist, and she worked on the Warners Brothers lot and had tickets one day to go see taping of Allen. When she came home from it, I was like, who was on?

She said, this country artist girl, and she shared her calendar was probably for two thousand and seven or two thousand and eight. It was the Taylor Swift self titled album calendar. We kept it on our coffee table as a joke because we didn’t know who this girl was. I’d flip through it late at night when I would get home from sets and just look at the girl’s pictures. I would eat cereal off this calendar.

I remember being like, this girl so pretty and cute, but it’s probably not the kind of music I would like. What I would give now, I would pay five hundred dollars for that calendar. All right, Nikki Glaser, When did you get into Taylor’s music? It happened in several different stages. The first time, I was like, oh, this is something special.

I was moving back to Saint Louis after I kind of struck out in LA for the first time. I’d just done this tonight show, but it didn’t change my life. I was still babysitting and borrowing money from my parents, and they were kind of like, we can’t do this for you anymore. So I drove across country back home and we listened to the radio the whole way and Love Story was just playing a lot, and I remember being like, this is the song of the summer. I was instantly magnetized to that song.

I almos slipped in a triumph there. Maybe that would make this whole thing funny. Nikki Glaser Triumph. When did you start going to Taylor’s concerts? I went to the Red Store.

I loved it, but I wasn’t a swifty yet good bit. This is a good bit. I just remember thinking, this girl is massively talented. I got to meet her backstage after it. I remember all I said to her is, I can’t believe that was you.

She was in a buttonhoun shirt, petal pusher bets and her hair looks so normal. She just looked normal, but she says this girl flying through the air performing for a stadium. I just remember being like, I can’t believe that’s you out there, Like, look at you. You’re just normal, And she was like, isn’t it crazy? She’s just so relatable and cool.

I was a fan, but the swiftie in me hadn’t sunk in yet. That didn’t happen until I was lying in bed listening to nineteen eighty nine. It had just come out and it was like the way people describe doing heroin. It just hit my veins. I remember thinking, my life will never be the same.

This is part of who I am liking. This woman is part of my identity now. It just felt like the same way when I found stand up, Like I’m never gonna be the same page. Is more of this holiday weekend filler coming up? Oh yes?

John oliver Is spoked to Variety. He talked about the low hanging fruit that is political comedy in twenty twenty four, and he said, it’s not necessarily a gift that you want, to be honest, technically, it’s a gift, but it’s not a great one. I think the tendency is often to think that it writes itself I promise you it doesn’t. Everything moves so fast nowadays you can get first take jokes online very quickly, so you have to be writing the most obvious joke for anything to have that kind of surprise factor. On top of that, things are very bleak when you’re writing jokes.

I’m still laughing about the triumph Deally ticking Glazer. When you’re writing jokes, you want to try and find a way to deal with the bleakness that isn’t kind of fiddling while Rome burns. One of the flaws of the way American elections work is so much of it is about personality and non policy. The policy stuff, of course, is so much more interesting and definitely so much more important, and that could be a problem, especially when you’re writing comedy. It can seem encounterintuitive to say, don’t look at this subjectively funny thing.

As for Trump, because it’s the third time he’s running for president, there isn’t much more to say about this guy. He’s an open book. I don’t know what we can really add in terms of content that we haven’t done already. So it actually it feels easier to talk about other things. That was not the case in twenty sixteen, Walter spoke to Josh Johnson, who, two days after the assassination attempt on Trump’s life at least a forty five minute set about the attempt, written and recorded the day it occurred.

It currently has over eight hundred thousand views. Johnson has been writing and recording twelve to forty five minute sets inspired by topical events, including Justin Timberlake’s arrest at the FBA, rate On Diddy’s house, Joe Biden dropping out, and more. Josh says, I’ve always been writing a lot ever since I started. When I lived in Chicago, which is where I started doing comedy, open MIC’s were four or five minutes, and in my head, it just made more sense to try a different set every time. It wasn’t always productive, because I still learned to do stand up and I wasn’t necessarily getting the repetition of a concentrated four or five minute set, but I still felt like I was exercising a different muscle which was generating a large amount of general output.

When I started, all of my real heroes and stand up were timeless, so I very much wanted to be timeless. I felt like being topical and current was the antithesis of that. When I realized I was writing really fast and I was getting bored with my own ideas very quickly, I was like, what if I gave this topical thing a shot. I wanted to start post more. I wanted to start sharing what I’ve been creating.

I had these notebooks full of jokes that were going nowhere, and it was important to me to try to share that with people. And I couldn’t have imagined the journey that’s been taking me down. People have really taken me in a way that’s hard to describe. Sometimes when you see a video, it’s my first time doing it. I just wrote out as much as possible and did my best to memorize it, and I’m feeling out the rest of the connective tissue by the audience’s reactions.

I go. And sometimes I’ve been able to do it two or three times. I think the two ways to be different is to either have one of the more nuanced takes about the big thing everybody’s talking about, or to talk about the thing nobody is talking about. Ult to talk to John Mlini about Langston Kerman’s new special. Milleni is the director on it, and said not to sound conceited or big brothery, but it very much reminded me of the special I did in twenty eleven New in Town.

I was like, Langston is really sought after as a writer and actor as well, and everyone knows he’s a good stand up, but he’s got a great hour that’s got to get out. When I felt when I recorded my special was this is everything since I started stand up. These are the type of bits I’ve been trying to nail, and now I have a whole row with them, and they add up to an hour, and I want to do this right now. Every bit of the special is a take home bit. I always think of specials like album tracks.

In each of these is a hit to mein critique of most specials is and I wish it’d be hard on myself too. Every part of it has to be good. Just wait if you don’t have it. This hour was so tight and ready to go. The reason of film it was because it was so good.

As opposed to somebody just saying I need to or want to make another special, Langston said. We wanted the special to cool and not like a silly thing that other people are doing, and m’laney said, yeah, and if I named any of the things we avoided, you could go find out what specials I’m probably talking about. So I’m not gonna do that. I’ve got some corner. Ricky Gervais has shown fans his new fourteen and a half million pound home in Hampstead, nine bathrooms, a spa and its own gym and hope, so for that kind of coin, Ricky went on Instagram and posted the entrance hall and marble staircase, as well as a large room that he’s using as an office.

He says, though it’s not going to be a forever home, his longtime partner Jeane, who’s sixty three. Ricky is also sixty three. Jeane has concerns about living there in their eighties. Ricky said, I thought the last house was going to be the one I was going to die in. Bill Simmons has Adam Sandler on the Monday episode.

I tried to listen to it. I’m not even I’ve been dissing Adam Sandling here. The audio quality was horrific. I can’t believe Bill Simmons actually put it out and nobody cleaned it up. Terrible, unlistenable.

Rob Schneider is weighing in on politics. He put out a lengthy statement, I’m going to skim through it when I raise my voice here. Those are words that Rob Schneider put out in caps, the words of Rob Schneider, de your fellow Robert Kennedy, Junior supporters and American citizens. As we have seen this week, once again, the Democratic Party is not running on any ideas to make American lives better. There once again running on the hatred of one individual, Donald J.

Trump, and they are hoping that you will hate him so much that you will forget about the Democrats forever, wars that are pushing the world closer to World War three in the primary, affecting a coup pushing out a duly elected president and much like the Soviet politbureau installing the new puppet leader who had the lowest approval rating of any form or vice president. Dude, relax with the caps. He sound crazy. I kind of want to slip in a triumph here and do that. And who still refused to take any questions from the press.

Yes, the Democrats are hoping. It’s much funnier this way, isn’t it. Yes, the Democrats are hoping that you hate Trump more than you love your country and your free speech, your children’s education and safety, and your freedoms. Rob Schneider doing a half ass triumph, continue to write as a fellow American citizen and Robert Kennedy Junior supporter, I hope that you will oppost tyranny and join us and vote for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.

Schneider concluded his message with an image of the American flag. Send your letters to Rob Schneider. Tonight, Seth Myers will host a stand up show with the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center to benefit the friends of the chill Mark pre School. According to the organization’s board president, the school is currently a capacity and has how to turn local families away. They need three and a half million dollars for the new facility.

Seth Myers Hooking it up. Seth said, it’s nice to know that are there are places where our kids can start to experiment with creativity and learning. When I walk into a preschool, I wish that my kids were dropping me off. I can’t remember the last time somebody gave me a full ninety minutes to fingerpaint. Expect the show to include dad jokes that says, no matter how little you like a dad joke before you become a father, it becomes impossible to hold them back.

Once you become a dad. It’s pretty much all you can think about. Please Don’t Destroy and Friends. Live sketch comedy from the Please Don’t Destroy Guys plus some Special Guess will be at the reopening of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City. The show’s part of a week long run of performances taking place at the new UCB Theater starting September thirteenth.

The theater has moved to a new location in the East Village and is currently running preview shows leading up to the grand reopening. Shannon Fielder has a new special it’s called thirty, flirty and Crying. In it, she riffs on universal topics such as the horrors of dating, the pressures of ordering the right wine, and the inherent dangers of using public restrooms. Let’s listen, thirty. Two is not a cool age.

Taylor Swift does not sing. I don’t know about you, but I’m. Feeling my mortality like I have just as many friends that have babies as I do that have drug dealers, and actually many of them are the same friend. I spent all of my twenties dating guys just like Aladdin overconfident, compulsive liars who wear vests. You might know them as bankers.

Shannon says. While the themes in point of view of this show are similar to my videos, thirty flirty and Crying is a much more personal exploration of the topics. I’m always riffing on stand up as a place where I’m not taking on characters, but instead sharing my own stories and opinions. Shannon Fielder was named a Comic to Watch at the twenty twenty three New York Comedy Festival. And that is your comedy news for today.

If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. A lot of new listeners. I don’t know if that’s because of Apple changed something last week. They added away for the android people to come.

So if you’re new to the show, Hi, welcome, appreciate you, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. It’s just an amazing time to be live. Today, my friends, we have a new special from Adam Sandler. Oh. I took the whole week off just so I could watch this thing over and over.

Adam Sandler Love You on Netflix today. I can’t wait time. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Adam Sandler. You know he must be a good dad because he’s looking out for his kids. He doesn’t want his kids to watch an Adam Sandler comedy special, which is really tremendous advice.

I’ve tried to advise my kids not to watch Addy Adam Sandler comedies. They one time spent five dollars to rent Jack and Jill, and Dad lost his mind. It was just a complete waste of money. I said to them, wanting to just light the five dollars bill on fire, but they rented this movie. I don’t know.

So Sandler has told his daughters don’t watch Love You on Netflix out today. Because I do curse a lot. I apologize to many many people out there, especially my family. They don’t need to know those words exist, you know. I noticed that.

Listen to him on Rogan He can’t get through a sentence without cursing. It’s very strange anyway. Adam Sandler’s daughters, Sadie and Sonny, as you know, two of Hollywood’s up and coming actresses. They’ve been in several films. They did not see the screening.

Adam Sandler did say they can see a couple parts of it. I don’t throw it on for them too quickly. Rob Schneider says that Adam Sandler has called him every week for thirty years. Schneider spoke to people about Adam Sandler. He’s credentialed here as the star of Murder Mystery two.

What a weird thing to credential Adam sailor is? Is that what he’s known for Murder Mystery too? Schneiders as there has not been a week in thirty years where he doesn’t check in on me. I mean that’s true. No matter where I am in the world, I’ll get a phone call.

Sometimes the middle of the night. He called me from Italy and said, what are you doing? And I go, it’s two o’clock in the morning. We’ll get up. I need to talk to you.

Are you good. We’ve been friends for five decades now. He’s a special cat for him to including me and all this stuff ever, it’s incredible. I mean, I don’t have any words to say except I love him. I just want him to be healthy, happy, successful.

He’s just incredible. Schneider says, Sanidlor’s just getting started. It’s beautiful. Him doing Hustle was great, and Uncut Gems is great. Those are two of the best Adam Sandler movies.

I agree with you, Rob Schneider. The Sandler should do that, not the thing he usually does. He’s good at that. Do that. Him doing Hustle was great.

He’s working with really, really intelliged people. I even liked that Space movie. That’s me, not Rob Schneider. Schneider said he’s got a new movie coming out with George Clooney for Netflix. Really, George Clooney, paycheck much.

It’s been wonderful, great experience for him and a great deal for Netflix to get the biggest movie star in the world on there. What’s this movie? I don’t know about this? Google George Coloney and Adam Sandler a new film that’s described as funny and an emotional coming of age film about adults. Sandler spoke to people about the Happy Gilmore sequel.

By the way, they did a casting call by my house last week. I was out of town, but people in the neighborhood told me there were zillions of people over in town trying to be extras in Happy Gilmore Too. Five round. I probably would have gone, I would not be amazing if I were in an Adams Say the movie.

And then I came on the podcast and talked about how terrible it was.

That would be ironic, but I would stick up for the extras. They’re usually good. Seandler’s had more than excited, probably the most excited I’ve been in many years to shoot something. We worked hard trying to write something that we thought people would have a good time with. We don’t want to let anybody down.

People and ask me for a long time do Happy Gilmore Too. I was always like, nah, I’ll only let you down, and then we came up with this idea. We’re really excited about it. We wrote our butts off and we’re continuing to try to make it a movie that you guys will like, and I think it is. We’re excited.

So many golfers are being nice and they’re gonna be part of it, and all please make Hub Halloween two. Actually, please make Jack and Jill two. That’s the movie. I want Jack and Jill too. Michael Chay is trying to get a late night show.

I don’t know if this plan is gonna work. He’s staging a test episode at City Winery in New York City to night to ten pm. It’s called Don’t Sleep with Michael Chay, a late night talk show created by Michael Chay. Jay announced this on Instagram, saying, all right, I’ve decided I’m gonna produce my own late night show. I’m recording a test episode next Tuesday.

Get ticks and be part of late night history. He said his original idea was to do a morning show because everyone on daytime TV are too happy and chipper and energetic. I want to do a show for people like me who hate mornings, called Don’t Want to Wake Up with Michael Chay. I have previously told you that he and Jost are doing a live thing on Peacock on September twelfth, and says we’re not getting paid, just wanted to do it.

Like I’ve said in the past, it’s not that hard to film it wherever he is and work around it. The producers of the BBC’s The Traitors is hoping to get Ricky Gervais to do the show.

They’ve got a bunch of high profile targets, including Ricky. The Traders. He’s a group of people put together in a Scottish castle where a minority or secretly created murderers.

There are games, video segments, trading card stickers, awards and and localized laughs. Sam told the Milwaukee Journal I was trying to figure out how to make Pee Wee’s Playhouse in Nickelodeon’s What would you do in a show that features people I like? Late night shows are nothing new and their format’s really simple. You got three guests that pretty much carry the show and offer the viewer looking to the latest thing, whether that be a comedian, a movie star, musicians. This allows me to have structure in the chaos that I create.

I also just love Milwaukee, and I think the stars of the city, the people who live here, whether it be comedians, business owners, leaders, or musicians. Comedians performed ten minute sets, then act as co host for the evening. Then they have a local business guy we go in film per day. After the business is the final guest, the musical act.

I have the guest play games that made up to earn crafty trophies, a house to make exclusive trading cards and stickers for each show. That sounds like a lot of fun. And the monthly show is tonight, And can I be honest with you, I was flowing and my wife showed up and started doing laundry and I just lost my flow. Can you not do laundry while I’m recording podcast? Cage is Not?

I got enough left see tomorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Theovonn had Donald Trump on. They started talking about cocaine. They were discussing opioids when Trump asked the Vonn, who was in recovery from cocaine but not opioid addiction, how he’d gotten addicted to drugs himself.

Vaughn said, I would just do cocaine. Trump laughed and remark, that’s down dirty, right. He also asked if von still takes cocaine or if it became too much to handle. THEO said, some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it too. I don’t know where we were even getting it from in this country, but yeah, it started to making me feel like I was a mechanic or something.

Trump was curious, So the thing you go back to then is alcohol for the most part, THEO said, yeah, but what I probably want is cocaine. But I know if I have a drink that’ll get me. It’ll be like, all right, if I had a drink, then I could do this. Trump asked, is cocaine a stronger up? Vaughn said, cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie.

You know what I’m saying, You’ll be out on your own porch. Trump jumped in and said, and that it’s a good feeling, and THEO Vaughn said, no, it’s horrible. Trump. So it’s not even good during what would normally be the good time. In other words, so why would you do it?

You think you’re controlling it? And Vaughn said yeah, and then you’re go kart racing with hookers and stuff. It gets bad. During the interview, Trump attributed his own a version of alcohol to some advice he’d gotten from his brother decades ago. I had a great brother who taught me a lesson, don’t drink.

Trump’s older brother, Fred, died in nineteen eighty one at age forty two from a heart attack that his family said stem from alcoholism. Trump told THEO that Fred was a great guy. He was a handsome, very handsome guy. Admired so much about him. He had so much going a the look, he had unbelievable personality.

Somewhere along the line, it happened all of a sudden. You know, it’s not unique, it’s a very common story, unfortunately.

And then the family would see it and start to notice it it didn’t get better.

I would say that if I did drink, I could conceivably be the type of person on an alley they would have like you, like I have a problem. He was wise in a sense. Think of it. He got this problem and it was very important for him to convey to me to not have the problem. And I couldn’t have been successful if I had that problem.

He had a great talent for flying. He was a pilot, but ultimately had to give that up because the alcohol. He had to give that up, which was a hard thing for him to do, but he had to give that up. Excited did you take the week off like I did to watch Adam Sandler special Tomorrow? It’s out on Netflix.

Can’t wait? Sandler told Vulture before we did the show, I did a set at the Hayworth in LA with no monitors, no nothing. I just went up there with a guitar and did it. All the jokes are nice when they’re just jokes. Josh Safti, who directed it, said, we had to sell that the monitors didn’t work, so we built a venue where that would make sense.

We wanted to make it look like it had been there for sixty years. At a real vibe. John Tuturo said it was like hanging out his friend’s basement and laughing at his funniest friends. Adam Sandler’s Love You a Little over seventy minutes. Oh that’s awesome, and it had to be cut down for more than three hours of footage from six shows performed at this purposely ramshackle spot where the mayhem could come at any moment.

That means not only were we getting seventy minutes of hilarious Adam Sandler comedy, there’s like two plus hours of unreleased footage. Maybe we can get a Blu ray with some extras, and maybe they could make three more spec out of this. Boy, the world’s gonna get all this Adam Sandler outtakes. Imagine how exciting the stuff that didn’t make the special, How great that stuff must be. I can’t wait.

Jimmy Carr, whose comedy I Enjoy a Lot, is set to host a UK version of Last One Laughing for Prime Video. In the Last One Laughing, Jimmy Carr will challenge ten of the UK’s top comedians to make each other laugh, with the last one to laugh crown the winner. The press release says famous for his dark humor one liners. In That Laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges ten of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up themselves.

There have been twenty international versions of this, including France, Germany and Italy. Rebel Wilson hosts the Australian version. I think from memory, didn’t Trevor Noah do a version of this too? Carr said, I’m thrilled to be making Last One Laughing UK with Prime Video. It’s short to deliver and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun with your neighbors.

Usually when I make a TV show with ten brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have al what a good laugh, But not in this series. The Last One Laughing wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first. A Lot of Glazer has a new comedy special coming to Hulu.

This one called Human Magic. It was taped at the Elgin in Winter Garden Theater Center in Toronto. In May, Hulu stepping it up. So now we have specials. They’re going to do one a month.

So we have Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burrroywood Junior, and now a lot of Glazer. That’s exciting. More bad news from Christina Pee. She explained on her podcast that she did have the surgery to remove the cancer, but and I’ll quote her here, she needs to get a quote pair of fakers because additional surgeries are needed. She said, they didn’t, unfortunately get everything.

After we did the first surgery. They went through the materially took out and there’s still some laughs. So mom is gonna have to go back and get chop chops, both taitas. But then I’ll get some real nice fakers. She joked about how she’ll wind up having four sets of breasts in her lifetime, the originals these then reduced, then attempt track they’re gonna put in like temporary ones.

I won’t be flat, and then the final result, which I’m super stoked for. After this, I should be right his reign. I feel positive about it. It only took me what nine days to come back after my surgery. Shane Gillis was on a Knicks podcast and said, yeah, the Knicks suck.

Dude. It’s all good though, you guys want a serious It’s felt so good of the Garden back the mecca of basketball at a zero Bleepin’ rings. Nick four Josh Hart took to social media to respond to Shane Gillis, saying, man, I like Shane Gillis, now I gotta hate him. Vulcher had somebody at Ellen’s last show. They wrote the mood was lively outside Minneapolis’s Orpheum Theater ahead of the comedian’s final tour stop.

A pair of religious protesters interrupted the pre show buzz with some biblical stuff. One woman near the box office yelled, you don’t know crap. Had a man in a T shirt which read repent or perish. Opener. Tom Ryles till the audience tonight, you are all part of history.

This is the last time Ellen will ever be on stage performing comedy again, and we’re tabing in for in Netflix. Tom Ryles, a former Ellen show employee, didn’t tell jokes. He spent the time apparently ushering the audience into a zone of Ellen, writes Vulture. Tom Morales told charming anecdotes about his boss, including one about her lobbying him to name his daughter Ellen. The audience was apparently raucus.

One observational bid about how restaurant menus should feature a large print option for old people or in the kind of applause usually reserved for closers. Ellen joked about how she closed her show with be kind of one Another and said, had I ended my show by saying, go f yourself, people would have been pleasantly surprised. Egyptian American comedian and TV host bossum Usef has deactivated his Twitter account citing safety concerns. Yousef said anti Semitism was an accusation that used to freeze the blood in people’s veins. I see many people now realizing how the sphere tactic is used to shut down conversations and scare people.

It’s been overused and abused in order to intimidate people. He later clarified in an Instagram post that he was not banned. He wrote, no, my Twitter account wasn’t taken down by X, and I don’t wish to falsely victimize myself using this. When safety issues concerning my loved ones are alleviated, I might consent coming back. I wish to deal with this away from the media.

I’ll still be posting my content on TikTok, Insta and Facebook. Punky Johnson talked to Entertainment Weekly about leaving Saturday Night Live and said it’s a big decision. I feel like with me and SNL was a neutral thing. By February of last season, I was like, nope, I’m done this season. Before that, I questioned it, and I talked to my team like, I really don’t know if I belong at this job, so maybe I should step away.

I told them super super late, right after I found i’d get to go back, and they’re like, Punky, you need a plan. You can’t just quit your job. I never grew up in sketch. I never went to a sketch school. I didn’t really feel like I fit like it was in my zone.

That show’s for a different type of person. I’m crazy, mo r out of the box. I’m all over the place. That show is a structure. She said about Lauren Michaels, and the tone here is lovingly.

I think I drove him crazy to the point where he just started ignoring me. He’s just like, get out of my face, I’d mess with him. My relationship with the show is still strong, and we just mutually understood that it wasn’t my zone. Saturday Night Live, Season fifty September twenty eighth in That is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it that they might like it too.

See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I’m Chinny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Fallon joked a lot can change in a month. Right now, Kamala’s campaign HQ is buzzing, while Biden’s have been turned into a spirit Halloween. I Know about You.

I took the whole week off. Adam Sandler’s got a new special on Tuesday. I am basing my whole life around this one. People magazine caught up with Adam Sandler’s family. They were at the New York City premiere of the big Netflix special Adam Sandler Love You That’s out on Tuesday.

Adam Sandler, now fifty seven years old, revealed that his daughter, Sadie and Sonny some of Hollywoods up and coming actresses. They’ve been in several movies now. They’ve encouraged Adam Sandler to take his health seriously. Adam Sandler says, they always look out for me, and my health is just like I used to do with my dad. You go, man, I want this guy around.

So I used to scream up my dad to quit smoking, and my kids scream at me to just calm down and try to eat a little more like a normal person. I used to take working out so serious, and now I can’t effing do it. I play hoop and then I eat. Every time a meeting, I go, what are you doing? Man?

You don’t need to do this. I can’t stop. I just got a little bit of thickness all over my kids. One daughter, Sadie, one of Hollywood’s up and coming actresses, is always saying dead, get the trainer from the Zohan. Why would you ever give that up?

Why did you stop? He told his daughter. It’s a lot of work. However, on Gossip Corner, Adam Sandler was spotted in New York City playing basketball. TMZ reports that Sandler played a quick game of pickup with some other guys hanging around the area, most of whom look a great deal younger than the Sandman.

TMZ ads that Sailor’s not risking the injury, though he spent some time stretching before he got out on the floor and showed the kids whose boss. Sailor was wearing basketball shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. That’s an outfit I might wear to a Jimmy Buffett concert. Not sure it’s a basketball appropriate attire. You know it was in a lot of Adam Sailor movies is Rob Schneider, who told the Hollywood Reporter the thing about free speech is free speech is all speech.

Free speech isn’t for the nice stuff. It isn’t for the socially acceptable stuff. Free speech is the speech that challenges you. Free speech is not nice stuff. Easy speech or speech that’s acceptable to everybody doesn’t need any protection.

I’m there to challenge the audience. People get upset about things now, and that’s okay. I think the more challenging the comedy is and society is, the more interesting the stand up and art is going to be. Time out, Rob Schneider, you know who You’re in an Adam Sandler movie, right, Yes, Okay, when everything’s smooth, art is boring. So the nineties could have been kind of boring.

But it’s a good time now, and it’s a challenging time. It’s good to see the art being pushed with such great films like Jack and Jill and Hup, Halloween I and Sandler. Schneider, you guys are pushing the edge and sticking up for free speech. I appreciate you. Hey, great news just for laughs.

Montreal is back. I hope to see you up in Montreal. Extra line, we can have a beverage and some pouteen comida ha. Did we settle this? Somebody told me on the side how to say it kamida ha comedy ha.

Those guys, the new owners have Just for Laughs have announced several upcoming festival dates. This is great. Just for Laugh Sydney is back one of these years. I’m going to go there and expense it on the podcast, but it won’t be this year unless somebody else pays for it. November eighteenth through the twenty third, Just for Laugh Sydney will feature Trevor Noah, Eric Idol, Brad Williams, and the All Star Gala hosted by Melanie Bracewell and many many more Just for Laughs.

Bermuda, Hm, that would be a good one for Johnnie Mack. I’ve got remote equipment. January twenty second through the twenty fourth. Just for Last Vancouver in February of twenty five, no specifics yet, and the big News JFL Montreal July sixteenth through the twenty seventh. Nick Brazio is the head of programming for Just for Laughs and said programming these festivals is an exciting opportunity to innovate while staying true to the core of what is made just for laugh so special.

Over four decades, we focused on curating a diverse mix of established names and emerging talent to platform and celebrate comedy’s best. I’m looking forward to that one. Michael Chay and Colin Joster are up to a few things, and o’ha is working on a pilot for a late night show. Tell you about that one. On Tuesday, Chay wrote on Instagram, me and Jost doing a live show on Peacock.

It’s gonna be no that’s what we should call it, but nobody listens to me. They’re hosting a live stand up show on Peacock on September twelfth. We are not getting paid. It just wanted to do it. Mike Birbiglia had a fundraiser in Los Angeles Forbiggs and Friends, raised nearly twenty thousand dollars for the YMCA of Greater Los Angeles.

Joining Burbiggs, We’re Judd Appatown, Nick Kroll, Larry Wilmore, otsko At Kotzka and Billy Strings had a little bit of TV time and punched in the Netflix checked out Langston Kerman and Chad Daniels. I started with Langston Special. I had him as a guest about a year and change ago on this very podcast, and you know, enjoyed him and the special was I it was just on. It was one of those where it’s fine, it’s not annoying, it’s not hilarious. I’m playing on my phone, I’m distracted, and I was like, I want to watch something else, So I bailed on it.

That will not make the End of the Year list. It’s by no means bad, much much better. Chad Daniels on Netflix finally got around with that one that has made my End of the Year list, and it’s in the top t So I kind of have two tiers on the list as it’s developing, or I guess three tiers. So there’s Tier one, which is Roast, Tom Brady at Tel Triumph cross A Domian, Dusty Slay, Kyle Kanine, Matt Rife, Sammurrel, Dimitri Martin, Jimmy car and Chad Daniels. Those are your top twelve.

Then there’s like a gap to Kat Williams, Hannagatsby, Connor, O’Malley, Brian Simpson, Tig Nataro Taylor Thompson, Rachel Feinstein and Joe Rogan, and then I have a whole bunch of things that are just in a section called not on the List, and I’ll tell you about those in December because there’s no reason to pound on them. But Chad Daniels special very very funny and very strong closer, was very impressed by them. Chad Daniels, you may know, is in a relationship with Kelsey Cook, who’s at the Great Outdoors Spokanne Comedy Festival this weekend, and she discussed being an opener versus a headliner, and Kelsey says, I feel like you want to keep in mind that you’re not necessarily the person that people are paying to see. You want to try to set the headliner up for as much success as possible. There’s sometimes a little bit more looseness to try it and maybe some new material stuff like that.

When you’ve got a shorter set opening for a headliner, you really want to lock it in and do your strongest jokes. She’s from Spokane so can do some local material and says, obviously, if I try to joke about the garbage goat in Milwaukee, people have no idea what I’m talking about. I shared with you the other day eric Andre’s Instagram message. It did not go over well with the Australians. You may recall, eric Andre shared a story in which he felt he was racially profiled.

One commenter, in response to the video wrote, it happens to everybody that comes to the country. Don’t want to be searched, don’t travel playing the race card. It is a low blow to people just trying to keep our quarantine laws. A second person self described as pasty white and said they’ve been pulled over randomly multiple times by sniffer dogs or to get the swab for explosives, adding that it takes five minutes and it was pretty pathetic to be making accusations of racism. A third said, what a load of bs.

I’ve been taken aside twice in the last three years for exactly the same screening. If it’s one hundred percent racial profiling, then these biosecurity staff are a bloody color blind. I did some travel last week. I was at LAX and they pulled my wife out of line. We were the only two people on the entire line, and they picked her and they did whatever they did with her phone.

They wanted to see her electronics and we went on our way. A Ukrainian comedian has shared his disappointment that is Edinburgh a fringe show is attracting audiences of three or four people, despite it being the only stand up show that touches on the biggest war happening in Europe. Dema Watermelon is performing in the forty person free fringe venue, he told The Independent, and he’s faced several barriers in bringing the show, which sheds light on the situation in Ukraine, to the festival, including the challenges which come from being an international performer. He said. My main frustration lies with the fringe media.

I’ve received virtually no reviews, the only one coming after I personally approached the reviewer following his review of another Russian comedian living in the UK now and handed him a flyer from my show. I don’t understand the low interest. There are thousands of shows, it’s true, but only one touches on the biggest war happening in Europe right now. Watermelons told Edinburgh Alive. I’ve done some terrible shows with small crowds, some weekday shows with four to five people.

Usually it’s around ten to fifteen people. I’ve had some shows with thirty, which is good for a forty seed venue. I was expecting more attention from the press to get into the UK comedy circuit. It’s a good show. I’m frustrated by the lack of attention.

The BBC caught up with some TikTokers at the Fringe, which ends today. Courtney Buchner told the BBC all that time posting on TikTok helped me build my confidence, having that online platform where I could try things out and feel a little bit safer. Now I’m ready to say to an audience, I’m opening this up to you in a live reactions rather than having reaction in your room, and I don’t get to see it and you might not like it, and I just swipe by. You do hear things like yeah, they’re only getting by because they’re following. My answer to that is getting in that following took time, patience and talent, and I’ll leave you with this.

Titans quarterback Will Levis has a new mayonnaise inspired fragrance. That’s right Will Levis. Number eight has many fragrance notes, including it’s art lemon mayonnaise, Accord, Parsley coffee, undertones musk and creamy vanilla. It’s a collaboration with helmans A. Bottle goes for eight dollars.

That’s sold out, but they’re planning on making more. That is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too, you know, see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Jennie Mack, who with your daily comedy hews? The Hollywood Reporter asked a bunch of famous podcasters about podcasting, and sometimes it didn’t go as well as they thought. I imagine. Tony Hinchcliff was asked what are your podcasting guilty pleasures?

And Tony said, I don’t listen to podcasts, which is pretty bad for a podcasting article. When I get a chance to put headphones on or drive somewhere, it’s exclusively music for me. All right, what’s your current favorite podcast that you’re not involved with? Well, he doesn’t listen to anybody, answered the Joe Rogan experience. Any podcasting who knows learned the hard way?

Double confirm your bookings. Don’t count on rappers that famously smoke vast amounts of weed, and remember they’re booked on a certain date in time. How would you like to see podcasting evolve? The video players need to be better on Spotify, Apple and everywhere to create a competitive environment. What podcast doesn’t exist yet that should?

The Nancy Pelosi Stock Market Investment Advice Show. Who would you like to have on the podcast you have? And yet one word Chappelle pre recording routine IV Drip, cold plunge, sauna, chicken and broccoli, hot yoga, a six shot ice latte, playing drums for twenty thirty minutes, eight cigarettes, And who’s the one person in your life that still doesn’t know how we earn a living? In my case, it’s my wife who comes down does the laundry? Is I know what she thinks of doing?

Sitting in my office with the door closed, babbling to myself, I don’t know, could you do the laundry? Twenty minutes from now? Tony hinchclose answer was the guy who let us originally recorder shows at the comedy Store now lives on an island in Honduras and plays guitar and smokes weed and doesn’t go on social media. I don’t think he fathims what he let begin from Late Night or Michael Cha and Colin Jolls will be sharing a stage in Colorado tonight at Denver’s Bellco Theater. The show supports the Zarlanko Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting learning disabled children in the Denver area.

Those two now have the record of being SNL’s longest tenured Weekend Update Team. They’ve been doing it since twenty fourteen. I remember when they started. Some coworkers didn’t like them. I was into them right away.

That’s right. I’m gonna humble Breg and be like I like josetin Chay. No, I really did. I just thought they were good. I remember my old boss being like, oh, I know about that.

I’m like, now, yet they’re good. Johnny Mack, you never talk about Matt Rife on the podcast. Do you have something against Mary Rafe? No? I love Matt Rife.

I thought his new special was really good. Or I don’t talk about him yeac like I have mentioned him every day for two straight weeks. US Weekly had one of those interviews with Matt Rife. This one was an exclusive interview with US Weekly. Matt Rife, twenty eight years old, reflected on the early days of his career.

The dream I had was, Okay, if I get to sell out weekends of comedy clubs for three round to see venues, I made it. The love of being a Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hard, Kat Williams, those arena acts and top tier entertainers never even occurred to me. I’m from Ohio, doesn’t really seem fitting Dave Jappelle’s from For eleven straight years, I woke up pretty much every single day with nothing to do unless I created something to do. Wait, were you podcasting in your basement too? Now I wake up and go, Wow, I don’t know if I’ll ever have a free day for the rest of my life, which is blessing and a curse.

You have enough money, you can have a free day, Dude. I don’t ever want to be bored again. That used to drive me absolutely insane. There’s nothing worse than your phone not ringing. But every now and then I’m like, Okay, I’m ever getting a chance to enjoy the house to spot.

Yes, don’t tour for a week. It’s your choice. Raife says success has not eliminated his mental health issues, saying it’s gotten so much worse. There’s no crash course on how to be famous. Nobody tells you how to take on new battles and get used to people telling you things about yourself.

The only thought about yourself. You have to learn how to deflect so much negativity that’s thrown at you. When so many people don’t understand the negativity you live within your own head. But at the same time, certain anxieties and certain depressions are also lifted by the success. There’s a little less worry about what if.

Elizah Slessinger spoke to New Beauty dot com, your home for Comedy News. She says, this is a really exciting hour. I’ve been working on it for a while. I normally put out a special every year and a half, but I just had my son about five months ago, so I wanted to give myself time to recover from that. I sat with this material for a while.

It’s nothing but a raucous, outrageous and make no mistake about it, polished good time. I think it’s super inclusive that speaks to a lot of different types of people. The folks at New Beauty your Home for Comedy News were in interested in how she takes care of herself, and Eliza said, I’m a big believer in natural remedies. I say that as like a total novice in this area. I go to a place called Kosha Spa in Sherman Oaks and they do a lot of massages.

I’m a big believer in getting your muscles working out, talks, in stretching, stuff like that. I tend to shy away from anything invasive. As a person who talks a lot, it’s always nice to get my jaw rubbed, especially when it’s been clunch for eight hours. She’s also a fan of products that don’t use a lot of plastic. She says, I always try to do less plastic.

I do think there are perfect people out there making great strides in health and beauty, but I always favor products that are at least straw to use less plastic. A lot of times you buy beauty products and what you’re paying for is the beautiful packaging. What are you excited for this fall, Eliza Selessenger, She said, I’m excited to not sweat. I’m excited like every woman for the idea of pumpkin spice latte. To be honest, I’m just so excited to get back out there and be with the fans.

I’m excited to not be pregnant and be on tour because that’s a slog. I’m just excited to be running this hour and doing it for all the fans and the markets on this tour that we didn’t get to last year. Deadlines spoke to Matt Berry, not the fantasy football guy in ESPN. He’s Matthew Berry. This Matt Berry, the British actor.

You know him from things like What We Do in the Shadows. Deadline reminds us that Matt Barry broke out in twenty twelve with Toast of London, a surreal sitcom in which he appeared as the bitter, buffoonish, self serious thespian Stephen Toast. Find that one on the internet somewhere. I don’t know what’s streaming right now, Toast of London, and hopefully it’s somewhere if you ever come across that one, it’s really good. Deadline asked him about his character Lazlow and what We Do in the Shadows, and Matt Berry said, he’s three hundred years old something like that.

He’s an aristocrat who was bitten by an attractive young Greek vampire and he never looked back after that. He just carried on with his fairly hedonistic lifestyle from that moment on and doing all the things he wished he could do before he was bitten and became a vampire. Basically, that would attract any actor, I think, because all these characters are dead or undead or whatever you choose, they can say and do anything. That’s what attracts me to it. We don’t have to be cautious because these people don’t exist.

When you signed up, Matt Barry, did you realize the show would be an ongoing thing? No one does. You just sign up and see what there Isn’t anyone that expects their TV show to run for more than a couple of seasons, let alone six. It’s very rare now, and we’re all very lucky. Deadline you have a very particular delivery to the right to your strengths.

No, not at all, which is a good thing. My dialogue is bone straight without any sort of flower, and then I’ll add whatever it needs depending on laslow situation within that episode. How has Laslow developed over the past five years. It’s difficult to say, because it’s not that sort of show. The characters are hundreds of years old.

They’re stuck in their ways. He can’t really stretch them and take them on journeys that will alter the characters. They’ve been the same for hundreds of years. He hit the ground running with a fairly loud start, and then you keep going. I didn’t really do anything different in the last season.

I wasn’t doing in the first I don’t think do you get recognized much from the show? Yes, alrighty. On Thursday, I was telling you some of the best jokes from the Fringe festival. Where that link go. I lost it.

You may recall the Winner was told by Marximmens, much better than me. I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship. But I bottled it. Trying to shake off the Matt Berry almostlipped in a half asked Matt Berry, there, I was very half assed today trying to get it back. Oh.

Recently, I went to a couple concerts with my daughter and we were talking and she brought up Jim Brewer, and my Brewer came right back in the car the Mars Town and then she had to listen to me do Jim Brewer for good ten minutes. Zoe Coombs mar said, my partner told me she’d never seen the film Gaslight. I told her she definitely had all a falafels at the conspiracy theory about the moon being made of cheese was started by the Halluminati. Sarah Keyworth, I’m an extremely emotionally needy non binary person. My pronouns are there, tgri e.

Roder Swift. I’ve got a girlfriend who never stops whining. I wish I’d never bought her that vineyard. Like lou Wall, gay people are very bad at maths. We don’t naturally multiply.

Sophie Duker kure Stormer looks like an AI generated image of a substitute teacher Oga Kach. Growing up rich is an hereditary condition. It affects one percent of people. Joe Nunnick will tape his special today at The Gutter in Brooklyn, New York. The Intern and Pound Gorilla tells us.

Joe’s a comedian, writer and content creator based in New York. Originally from Kansas City. He became the first paid regular at the Comedy Club of Kansas City. Good luck with your taping there.

Also from the Gorilla, Nath Valvo remember him.

I had him on the show Australian guy last August when we were doing some stuff on August of twenty three, doing some stuff for the Montreal Festival. Nath was great and we have told Naith Valvau was all killer, no filler, with a hilarious debut special. I’m happy for you in I’m happy for you Valveaux tackles the big question should he become a father. He talks about his family, his partner’s friends, and surviving life in his thirties, featuring a lot of jokes in the usual Valvo flair that audiences love. I’m Happy for You was nominated for the Milbourne Comedy Festival Award.

Now he’s got a podcast. I didn’t know this. It’s called The buck Up. I’m gonna grab that because I liked him a lot. He was a really cool guest.

Go back to August of twenty twenty three you’ll find my interview with him. He was really cool. Nath Valvo. I’m happy for you on YouTube for free and for purchase without ads on the eight hundred pound Guerilla website. And I have to jump on a conference call in two minutes, so that means that’s your company news for today.

That’s how this works. Did you have more, Sean? Maybe there’s always tomorrow and I’ll see you here then

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. David Lucas was on The Joe Rogan Experience. He started making fun of Rogan, calling him a strong ass. Howie Mandel, who looked like a school teacher when you see them out in public.

The Allien Reporter talk to some famous podcasters, including THEO Vaughn with some Q and A let’s go quick here THEO current favorite podcast not involved in answer, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Matt and Shan’s Secret podcast. Question, how would you like to see podcasting evolve? Answer? I don’t know. Question biggest challenge facing podcasting now?

Answer everyone has a podcast, even animals. Thoughts on listening at one point five speed love It? I listened at two point three, but I’m crazy. Question we need podcasts because answer? Mainstream media doesn’t allow certain humor and voices f them.

We made our own question, weirdest ad you ever had a record? Answer Lenny’s erin tablets, change the color of your p one milliger and five milligrams. Jimmy Kimmel was on a Podcastparrently as One with Gavin noosem Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson it’s called Politiken. That’s a weird combination of hosts anyway, Jimmy Kimmel said, I don’t know if there’ll be any late night television shows on network TV in ten years. Able to be one out there, but there won’t be a lot of them.

There’s a lot to watch, and now people can watch anything at any time. They’ve got all these streaming services. It used to be Johnny Carson was the only thing on at eleven thirty, so everybody watched, and then David Letterman was on after Johnny, so people watch those two shows. But now there’s so many options. Maybe more significantly, the fact that people are easily able to watch your monologues online the next day really cancels out the need to watch it when it’s on the air.

Once people stop watching it when it’s on the air, networks are going to stop paying for it to be made. Johnny Mack, you never mentioned Matt Rife. I know, right in the la time said, Matt Rife is living his comedy dream and now for the hard part maintaining it. Matt Riiche’s scheduled clocking forty to fifty shows a month writes the la Times led to a stretch of consecutive days without sleep as he stayed up prepping for shows, editing social videos, and barreling from city to city. He fought through it before a pair of recent shows in Indiana.

He said he almost collapsed while leaving his hotel room was forced to cancel the gigs hours before showtime. Suffering blurred vision and painful ringing in his ears, he could barely walk or talk. He had to be taken to the er Raife said during an interview with the Kuckuburra Lounge in Hollywood, I felt like I was legitimately dying. It’s embarrassing, man, because everybody around me saw this coming. Everybody’s response was, can’t believe this didn’t happen sooner.

He talked about crowd work and said, when you’re rehearsing your sat building material on a show for an hour long material special, you can definitely get tired of telling your own jokes. When I started doing comedy, this was never a dream of mine to be at this level. I was just like, if I could ever sell out a comedy club one time. Ever, that’s the epitome of what I think a comedian probably could be. Fellow comedian Eric Griffin, who directed Lucida, said, what I admire about Matt Riife is his work ethic.

Nothing was added to him. He’s been working hard for twelve years now. The fan base is kind of caught up with it, and they’ve made him super famous. Riife became obsessed with comedy at age fifteen when Grandma took him to see Dean Cook. The first time he went on stage for an open micy he said, he almost soiled his pants.

Thank you Matt for that image. Matt said, I had all my jokes memories, but I’m so nervous and the host goes on stage. We have first time tonight. Give it up for the uncomfortably young Matt Reef Griffin says he draws people in because he listens, so when he’s doing this crowd work with people, he’s genuinely interested in what people are saying. Those are the type of clips that have gone viral for him, and those are the things that resonate with people.

It’s not just CrowdWork for the sake of CrowdWork. As I mentioned earlier in the week, I really liked the special. I thought it was a lot of fun. It’s not trying to be high art. It’s just an hour of jokes and I laughed, had a good time on the couch.

You should watch it. It’s fun rife Warren’s audience members. Don’t try to be funny. Don’t do that. Just yourself.

I’ll bring the comedy out of you. Don’t worry. We’ll find it. We’re gonna Jordan and Pimp in this. Don’t be selfish.

The Guardian spoke to one of my favorite comedians, Phil Wang. He’s got a new mustache and says it’s an experiment. My girlfriend asked if I could grow one, because she’s into the look. She’s the wind beneath my wings mustache. Wise, now, I’ve written some stand up about having one, so it’s locked in for the time being.

I’m laughing. Last week I was like, yeah, maybe I’ll try and grow a cheezy mustache, or at least I won’t shave until my wife notices and complains about it, and then every day I would like forget about this concept and shave it. So I didn’t grow cheesy mustache. Maybe over Labor Day weekend, we’ll see, The Guardian said. Eur Asian people I’ve said your success means a lot to them.

Is that a source of pride? Phil Wang? Phil said, definitely. They messaged me about my book Side Splitter, How to Be from Two worlds at Once. Some say I was the first East Asian comedian they saw on TV.

Thankfully that’s not the case anymore, and there’s been a real explosion in the past five years, which is very encouraging. Tastes abroad in the comedy industry tends to follow tastes. A lot of the work for us was done by Kate Bop, squid Game, parasite and everything everywhere all at once. The more people see Asians and other entertainment forms, the less weird it comes to see them do stand up. These things build on each other.

I call it cool bleed. It also follows food culture. Interestingly, Tai Vietnamese, Korean, and Malayian food have all gotten big in the UK, which provides more reference points. East Asian comedians can talk about kim chi and Western audiences will understand. These things all track together and give us a leg up.

Phil Wang’s special is called Wang In There Baby. It’ll be on Netflix September third. Jimmy Fallon announced He’s staging a haunted maze at thirty Rock Why I don’t know either, designed by the team behind Universal Studios, parent company of NBC, that explains that theme parks Halloween horror nights. Jimmy Fallons Tonightmares will feature ten rooms, in one of which Johnny Carson rolls over in his grave, each based on some of his deepest, darkest nightmares. Those fears include werewolves, aliens, breen eating zombies, murderous AI robots, and abandoned gas station, and a cornfield crawling with homicidal scarecrows.

In a statement, Jimmy Fallon said, Tonightmares has got everything you need to get supremely frightened this Halloween. Jimmy also has a new book. It’s a children’s book called five More Sleeps Till Halloween. The book is due out September third. It’s a follow up to Jimmy Fallons very very famous and very very popular twenty twenty Christmas book Five More Sleeps Till Christmas, Not to be confused with the Beastie Boys Five More Sleeps Till Brooklyn.

So where can I see Tonightmares? Right in Rockefeller Center. So that’s where they do the Christmas tree. So I see what NBC’s doing here, all right, So we’ll do the Halloween thing and we’ll run that for a month and then we take that down. We put up the tree, actually pretty smart.

Tourists will eat that up. I used to work in that neighborhood and yeah, I’ll just repeat myself. Tourists will eat that up. Jimmy found Tonightmares will run select nights from September twentieth through Halloween. Are you psyched for the Australian edition of the Office.

It’s the thirteenth global incarnation of the Office. This one will air globally on Prime Video except in the United States VPN much, which is a shame because the Australian Office is in English and we could watch it. We can enjoy it. In the Australian version of The Office, Felicity Ward plays Boss Hannah Howard, who manages the packing company Finley Cretic. In the Australian version of the Office, Howard gets news from the head office that they’ll be shutting down her branch and forcing everyone to work remotely, a move that Caesar going to survival mode, making promises she can’t keep in order to keep her work family together the staff of Finley Kratic Adulture and must endure Howard’s at landish plots as they work together the impossible targets that have been set for them.

I wonder if there’s a Jim and Pam thing. I wonder if there’s a Tim and Dawn thing here let’s see. The cast includes Eve Poor Steen, Ruskoppolos, Sherry Sebbins, and a bunch of other Australian act wars that I’m not familiar with. Dina Hasham spoke to Slate about the New York City roast scene from ten years ago. Dina said, at a certain point it was a feeder for the Comedy Central Roast Battle show on TV, So it was like a way to get into the Stand Comedy Club, which is where it was being hosted for the most part.

So it was like a way of showing my joke writing ability and hopefully a way of maybe getting my first TV appearance, which actually happened. So for me, it was a way of advancing my career more than like a love for the sport of roasting. Slat said, some comics love it. Dina said, yeah, it’s a lot of work. You have to sit down and learn a bunch of stuff about somebody else, Like, if you’re really crazy, you’ll scout their podcast and try to find something that I didn’t even know that you’re gonna know about them.

And it’s so much work for jokes that you could never ever use again, and you can’t really test them out, Like you can’t take the jokes and go to a show and test them. So you’re just going up having no idea how the crowd’s going to react. And I’ll leave you with this fun story from Yahoo back in November twenty twenty five, Marcelo Hernandez you know him from Saturday Night Live, At just wrapped rehearsal with that week’s host Dave Chappelle, Marcello says, I was like, hey, Dave, do you know the entrance to Madison Square Garden. You see Marselo Hernandez was booked to open for Joe Coy. You remember Joe Cooi.

I’m not gonna do it. I’m not gonna do it, relaxed. Got back at friend of the show right now is losing his mind. He thinks I’m gonna play the Joe Coy clip. Should I play the Joe Coy clip makes con back at upset.

Remember that time Joe Coy host to the Golden Globes and he said this about Taylor Swift. Big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer climber shots of Taylor Swift. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Bro Ah.

All right, Marcelo Hernandez, he’s there with Dave Chappelle and Marcello’s gonna open for Joe Coy at MSG and he goes, Hey, Dave the entrance to Madison Square Garden and Dave goes, are going to take an uber in Madison Square Garden and Marcello’s like, yeah, what’s wrong with that? And Dave says, there’s twenty two interests at Madison Square Garden. You’re never going to get in. Chapelle made a call. Soon Marcelo Hernandez was on his way and he learned about loading doc Baby.

Calarocas, shock media. Easy one again. Hi, I’m chutting Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s jump in here. Sam Merrill was on Good Day Baltimore.

Let’s listen. Was this with us? This is she’s a rescue, She’s that I saved her. She was getting sexually assaulted by a pack of chihuahuas in Los Angeles. I stepped in, Yeah, and I crescent caped two of them.

You did, and we’ve been together ever since. Is that going to be part of your your routine? Like? What are you gonna see? See this this evening, this weekend?

Hitler genocide, uh Kamala, Trump and poop? Well, all things that are on top of mine for folks the moment they wake up and turn our newscasts on. I don’t want to burn a bridge. I know how you feel about bridges in Baltimore. But oh my goodness, sorry, Sam, we’re gonna take it out here.

Well, funny Friday, it’ going to go the way good Dave Baltimore thought, Sam. Yikes, Gilbert Godfried will have a new album. Gilbert passed away in twenty twenty two. Eight hundred Pound Guerrilla reported on Gilbert’s new album saying Gilbert never put out a comedy album because, according to widow Dana Godfrid on her Instagram page, Gilbert didn’t want to use up as material. But there is a CDDVD called Dirty Jokes, which to me is an album, but okay whatever.

Dana has partnered with Clown Jewels to release Gilbert Gottfried’s first album or second album title to be announced. The album will feature material that was shot for the twenty seventeen documentary Gilbert. In support of the release, there will be an event as part of the New York Comedy Festival at the Hard Rocket Time Square. There’ll be a Q and a panel hosted by Frank Santo Padre, who co hosted Gilbert’s Amazing Colossal podcast. I mentioned that is a podcast episode that will be recorded there so they can run some spots.

Totally get It also debut a short film featuring never before seen footage that was cut from the documentary. All proceeds will benefit the Gilbert Gottfried Myotonic Dystrophe Type two Research Fund at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. The album will be released both digitally and on vinyl November thirteenth. Matt Rife going back on tour. We never talk about Matt Rife around here, you know.

He also announced a new feature project. Matt Rife will be among the leads of Rolling Loud, which is an R rated comedy co produced by Live Nation Productions, which will film at the hip hop festival also called Rolling Loud that’s in Miami in December. Rolling Loud inspired by the true story of an overprotective father who makes the worst parenting decision of his life when he sneaks his thirteen year old son into Rolling Loud, the world’s biggest hip hop festival, setting off a chaotic adventure. With his reckless coworker and an eccentric festival volunteers, they navigate wild crowds, security, and copywriting rule of three their own family dynamics. Rife’s tour dates won’t be announced until later this year.

Meanwhile, on gossip Corner, Rife is being criticized for his jaw fillers to the point where fans are saying they can’t watch his new special Wow this from the Sun newspaper. They write, his cheeks appear to have huge dimples in them and the lines by his jaw are prominent. One social media user wrote would be nice if Netflix would stop trying to force me to watch them at Rife Special. His freakish face from jaw Fillers is too alarming to look at. Nikki Glaser’s publicist continues to deserve her raise.

The La Times wrote under the headline, while Nikki Glaser is suddenly the hottest name in comedy. You know, I read the article to pull some stuff out for you, and there’s not really much there. You know the story, especially if you listen to me every day. She was on Tom Brady and then yeah, okay, we got it. She continues to give worrisome quotes.

Let me drop the little to my voice here because I’m being very serious. This this bothers me. This quote, Nikki said, comedy at its best is relatable because we all have to die someday. We’re all terrified of it, and depression comes from not really thinking about it, suppressing it and are subconscious. I was really trying to hide it for a while.

I thought it made me a liability in this business. No one wants to work with someone depressed, but the business doesn’t care. They’re not worried about me killing myself as long as I’m getting laughs with it. It’s going to be okay. I hope Nikki’s got someone in her life looking out for her.

Meanwhile, awkward Segue. Fifty Cent has lashed out at Lunell following her comments about his comedy show. Complex reports that fifty Cents lashed out at Lunell after the legendary comedian said there were no women on his comedy showcase. Sent said proof you can’t make everyone happy. I loved Lunell’s work.

That’s why I had them put her in Ghost. We saw her big ass was booked already, so we didn’t reach out. You think I didn’t want Monique some more Amy Schumer? They on fire? WTF.

Lunell had recently commented, I want to say this game is so misogynistic because I just heard about this comedy festival that my dear friend fifty is having right now. I haven’t seen the paperwork, so I don’t know, but from what I heard, there were several comedians on the plane, but not one female comic. Now this might be a mistake, but this is the information I’ve got. There are men and women in the audiences in those shows. I think that their representation only makes sense.

Recently, mister sent posted a screenshot of a US Weekly article on Instagram about him reaching billionaire status. He added, I don’t want this to make you think I don’t need a discount, because I want a discount. Lol. I had told you CNN has a new Saturday night series, Have I Got News for You? Ten episodes.

It premieres a Saturday, September fourteenth. Johnny Mack has one dollar on the square that says, this runs ten episodes and gets canceled. Why. It’s not because of the talent, it’s because of the time slot Saturday night at nine pm. Who’s home Saturday night at nine pm?

Well I am, but I’m not gonna watch this at Saturday night nine pm. That’s video game time. Or actually no, I usually do the Saturday night movie, often a James Bond film, which is the best James Bond film, Johnny Mack, it is clearly the Spy who Loved Me. I used to say on Her Majesty’s Secret Service. But I think Spy who Loved Me is just perfect.

That all said, of course, Sean Connery is the best Bond. You can comment on the in the Facebook group It’s Daily Comedy News podcast group. We could have a whole James Bond argument. I’m in start one anyway. I digress.

Saturday September fourteenth, at nine pm, when I’ll be watching college football and or a James Bond movie, CNN will air Have I Got News for You. It’s hosted by Roywood Junior, but they’ve added two cast members, Amber Ruffin and Michael ian Black. They will service the captains of the various teams. That is really good hiring great. Michael ian Black, in a statement, said, I’m thrilled to be joining Roywood Junior and Amber Ruffin, as Have I Got News for You’s DEI hire.

I’m looking forward to spreading as much disinformation as possible on America’s most trusted news network. My main focus has been, and will continue to be pleasing my handlers in the Kremlin. Have I Got News for You BBC series since nineteen ninety typically showcases two teams talking about various news stories of the week. But again Saturday night at nine pm. I don’t know, man, all right, let’s get serious here.

Eric Andre posted a clip on Instagram. I’ll let Eric speak for himself for about a minute and change, and then I will jump in. So I’ve been on planes for over twenty five hours. I flew from New York City to LA then to LA to Melbourne, then Melbourne to Brisbane to shoot something. I got detained and I had to go.

I got pulled out of a lineup and put in a special line in Melbourne where I was sniffed thoroughly by a dog. Those dogs are pretty much ineffective. I’ve heard statistics like their eighty to ninety percent ineffective. It’s sniffing out whatever they’re trying to sniff out. It’s like one of the many times I’ve been racially profiled at the airport.

So this is a message for all black, brown and Indigenous people traveling through Melbourne today, especially if you’re traveling Quantus International by terminal two, Please be careful. They are searching black, brown and Indigenous people. Please let me know if anybody knows the names of those officers with the dogs or what that program is. If anybody has information on a discrimination Australian lawyer, I’m all ears, please send me that info. And if anybody has information on statistically how many people of color they put into this dog sniffing line versus white passengers, I’m assuming it doesn’t reflect the percentage of white passengers versus POC passengers at any given time at that airport.

Later in the video, Eric said, anybody hiring me to work in Australia going forward, whether it’s a production or a tour, please don’t make me go through the Melbourne airport alone. Please provide a police escort or some type of security escort for me, or have me flying to Brisbane or Sydney directly. I do not feel safe in the Melbourne airport. I do not want to be humiliated or racially discriminated against any more at these airports. I don’t want to cut my hair and wear three Pece suits.

I’m treated like a first class citizen. I shouldn’t be made to feel that I am unaccepted by entering a country. Shame on the people at the Melbourne Airport that have this cockamaning procedure. I doubt it yields any safer world for anybody in Melbourne or Australia. When I heard the story, it did ring a bell in my brain.

And I’m just gonna share a fact with you, And I don’t want you to think that I’m throwing this in here to make some sort of comment. Factually, Eric Andre previously said he was racially profiled at the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in twenty twenty one and later took legal action. Again, I don’t want you to think I’m being dismissive of Eric Andre’s concerns by throwing that in there. From Late Nighter. Jimmy Kimmel kind of always talking about retiring, and he was on a podcast that’s hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom, football player marsha On Lynch and their agent Doug Hendrickson.

That’s a weird show. I guess the agent really wanted to have a podcast anyway. Kimmel, so all those guys, I’ll have a hard time when it’s over. It worries me. That’s part of the reason I keep going, he explained.

That’s why he keeps wind up signing another contract because I fear that day the money after my final show, and it’s like, now what am I gonna do? But he points out there aren’t a huge the number of options for late night hosts after the shows are over. I mean, I guess you could do a podcast. Conan seems to be doing okay, so if you want to argue about James Bond movies or just talk about comedy. Joined the Facebook group It is Daily Comedy News podcast group.

Matthew Welcome to the group. Matthew joined over the weekend from Comedy dot co dot uk. It is the funniest joke at the Fringe Festival. Let me just preamble here. These are jokes told by professional comedians in a comedy environment.

You know, so how comedy works. You know, you don’t just show up and just say a line and expect a big laugh. You kind of set the stage and you know how comedy works, right, you’re listening to me. You know, you set up a premise, or the audience is at a good bood, or you’re throwing it aside. You get how this works.

It’s not a dude in his basement recording a podcast. So all these are out of context and we’re told better buying professional comedians. I’ve preambled enough. It is the funniest joke of the Fringe twenty twenty four. Your winner, Mark Simmons, with this professional joke told properly.

I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship, but I bottled it all right, we have fourteen more. Alex Snook. I’ve been taking Salce lessons for months, but I just don’t feel like I’m progressing. It’s just one step four, two steps back. I think that’s a better joke.

I also told it better than the first one. Alex Kitson eight horse at a restaurant once wasn’t great. Starter was up right, but the main was dreadful. Did a little plan words there with mean and get it. Arthur Smith went with, I sailed through my driving test, That’s why I failed it.

I like it simple, Mark Simmons again, I love the Olympics. My friend and I invented a new type of let baton. Well he came up with the idea and I ran with it. Let’s see that made me actually laugh. That was better Ala Falaffe whole great name went with.

My dad used to say to me pinees Gallon’s leaders, which I think speaks volumes. Love it, Chelsea Burkby. British etiquette is confusing. Why is that high brow to look at boobs at an art gallery but low brow when I get him out in spoons? Spoons it seems to be a restaurant in London.

Masih Graham went with I wanted to know which came first, the chicken or the eggs. I bought a chicken and then I bought an egg and I think I’ve cracked it. These are fun. I’m gonna save more of these for Saturday, not tomorrow. Why not to John, because I already recorded a world Okay, okay, you’re on to me.

You’re busted doing a little traveling this week. Sometimes I got to record ahead. A nice job. By The Daily Show they had a dog adoption event was called The Daily Show Presents in Dog’s Vision twenty twenty four, Rescuing Democracy. A last Sunday in Chicago, fans had the chance to meet several correspondents and a whole lot of dogs looking for their forever homes.

Desi Leidak, Jordan Klepper, Ronny Chieng and TROYA Wata were there. John Stewart, I guess was at the Hamptons. Where are you John? You can chokee at this. The result was more than two hundred and fifty new voter registrations and multiple in progress adoptions.

Pete Lee will be at the Comedy Vault in Batavia this weekend. Pete Lee, known for multiple appearances on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and his stand up clips on Instagram and TikTok. He said, the Comedy Vault is a really special club. The owner, Liz is really in a comedy and she’s really great to comics. A few of them love comedians the way Liz does.

Lee got into comedy, he said, I had a grandmother that was a lounge singer and told jokes in between her sets. I asked her for advice on jokes and whatnot. At one point, my grandmother was teaching me the structure of jokes, and she wouldn’t let me dinner until I wrote or a proper joke. That was when I was fourteen years old. In school, he majored in advertising, which taught him how to write two hundred of something.

They get to one thing that’s good. If you go see him, expect about three quarters of the act will be material and about a quarter will be crowd work. Pete says, for a long time was known for being a good writer material. I think my Tonight Show appearances reflect that. But the way the internet’s going right now, you have to release a video every day, or third day.

If I was releasing all my material when people came to the shows, they wouldn’t say anything new. I’m a trained improviser as well, and I think it’s really fun to talk to the crowd. In his set, he talks about marriage, his dog, drinking, and how much it sucks to be nice. It says, if you really look at the court what I’m talking about. I never say that sentence on stage, but I’m really talking about how much it sucks to be a kind person.

I talk about everything from calling customer service and how everything’s autobated. I do a whole section on young people. Everybody’s really hard in young people. They say it’s the worst generation. They’ve said that forever.

I defend young people for about ten minutes, and it’s funny. That’s what comedy’s supposed to be. You’re supposed to be holding up a mirror to people’s experiences so they can go I feel that way, or that made me feel better. If you’re giving out information or wisdom in a show, you wanted to help people’s lives. Comedy Vault, eighteen East Wilson Street, Batavia, at twenty five bucks.

You should go. Louise Atkinson said about the fringe, Billy Connolly could tell me a story about a Mayonaise jar for two hours. All right, Louise, how do you get in a comedy? She said? I was dating a comedy nerd who wanted to try stand up, so I researched comedy courses for them as a gift.

The same day I quit a job which I hated on my ex decided this was also a great time to break up with me. Anyway. I got an email saying the space had become available on the course of the following week, and I did it myself. Her show, She’s Got the Look the inspiration. Well, I got into the last round of competition.

I was told I sound good but look a mess. So the show is me trying to figure out which bit of me is the mess and why we make assumptions about people based on how they look when we should really judge people based on whether I think a jeffa cake is a cake or a biscuit. That’ll tell me everything I need to know about you. What’s the wrong assumption people make about you, Louise Atkinson? She says, when you’re a more curfy, voluptuous person than the thing most people tend to think is you don’t understand what healthy eating is.

Let me be clear, I’m fully aware of what healthy food is. I know what a carrot is. It transports dip into my face. Chort Ol gave four stars out of five to Aaron Chen at the Fringe and Right. Aaron Chen is verging on the big league in Sydney.

He plays three thousand seat rooms and is recently relocated to New York on a visa, which classifies him as quote an alien of extraordinary ability. Chen’s one of the only accident to a bit of local material up top, referencing shortbread in Edinburgh Airport, which he says is his main source of current affairs coverage. After he accidentally sign up for their newsletter. Chen moves there to a sizeable chunk about airplane food. It’s not even the first time he’s covered the topic.

It’s as if he takes on the routines as a challenge. Can he make it work? You bet he can. Four stars out of five and from the Sunday Post dot com. If you see Kyle Aker is walking backward around Edinburgh on a windy day, He’s doing it for good reason, not for laughs, but to avoid triggering his excruciating nerve pain, he says, I’ve walked backward into the wind to avoid it.

It sounds impossible that the wind could be so bad, but often the slightest pressure will trigger it, like if someone hit me in the face. Even wearing my glasses can’t affect it. He has trigeminal neuralgia, a long term pain condition that causes sudden attacks of sharp, shooting pain in the face, mouth, and jaw that can feel like an electrical shock. I’m particularly doing this story. I had a version of this.

I would get all of a sudden like it would the back of my head would feel like you stuck an ice pick in it. I would go from one un percent fine to excruciating pain for half a second, and then it would go away. I had this. Luckily it has mostly cleared up. It very rarely happens now, but in my twenties this would happen often.

Kyle explains, your brain doesn’t realize it’s just a little artery bumping into a nerve. Instead, it goes on red alert and thinks you’re being stabbed. He describes the severe bounts of pain like a down power line flying around in the inside of the right side of my head. Anytime it frequently bumps into something, it electrocutes me. When the pain gets really bad, that power line is really flailing and causes this electrical stabbing pain.

Sometimes it can’t function. I can’t even open my eyes while it. Just lay on the floor, pushing my face against the cold kitchen tiles to try and feel something that’s not this indescribable well of pane and nothingness inside my head. Dude, I feel for you. Man.

Wow, sounds like it’s this pretty bad, he said. I used to WinCE all the time and just tell people, including my aunits is that my head was sore. Now I still wins through a set, but I explain what’s going on, which makes it a bit easier. Being more vocal about my condition has made people around me more aware of it feels less taboo. There’s something in me making fun of it that makes it easier for people to deal with.

It’s been cathartic for me too. Wow. This article says it’s usually seen in patients over sixty. I had it I was in my twenty I remember I was walking home from a party in the cold and it felt like a vice in my head, and then it started up and had it for a few years, most of my twenties, probably into my thirties, and that kind of cleared up. Kyle said, I’ve met so many more people with this condition that I would have thought.

It’s been wonderful to meet people have dealt with what I have, but are also some steps ahead. You meet people have lived with this pain for twenty years and realized they found a way to live with some normalcy. So there’s there again. I don’t have it anywhere near as bad as he’s describing here. Anyway, He’s at the fringe and his show’s called Hard to Say, and they’ll find him at just the Tonic.

And that is your comedy news for today. Uh did you pretape Friday? John? Yeah? I did?

All right, we’ll offer me back see tomorrow. Well you’ll see me. I won’t see you.
