If you’re in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Davin Surprise Guests will perform tonight at eight pm at the Weary Pavilion, located in Yellow Springs, about an hour south west of Columbus, Ohio. You’ll find the place off Meredith Road. It being a Chappelle show. The show will be phone free, no phone, no smart watch, no accessories.
You gotta do the stupid, annoying yonder pouch thing they see using a device. You will be escorted out.
Also, while you’re in the area, the Little Art Theater in Yellow Springs will…
My voice is giving out, which is not good for holiday weekend production. I gotta tell you about Robbie Hoffman. Now, Robbie Hoffman, let’s just be Clearlet’s take a second here. I’m going to slow down because I want you guys pay attention, listen to me. I know this is going to be surprising.
Robbie Hoffman is now full establishment. Okay, if you think Robbie Hoffman is like some cool, alt edgy comedian that only we know about it, No, Robbie Hoffman got the full New York Times magazine profile. Okay, we have mainstreamed Robbie Hoffman somehow. The New York Times magazine profiled Robbie at Robbie’s house. Who said it’s weird because you guys said, oh, they have to do it at your house because they want the person to be comfortable.
But you come to the house and you totally rip it apart. You want me to be comfortable, but the couches where the couches, The whole house has moved. They talked about rich weird and poor weird. Robbie said, rich weird is way weirder and worse because there’s a humanity that’s missing. My favorite is the people like me who grew up poor and then, by the grace of God, got some money and now it could be like, oh my god, how weird do these rich people who’ve been like this since birth?
Small things like when you go in a rich person’s house and nobody’s allowed to go on the fridge. The poor of much less when you go to their house, they’re like take, take, take. Whenever I meet a rich person and they’re actually helpful. I mentioned it. It’s worth mentioning Star trek run Er paton Oswalt what kind of music were you into when you were a kid, and said, oh, man, I very much love classic heavy metal, a lot of country, and a lot of punk, post punk, all that stuff from the nineties, pixies, A lot of Elves Costello, a lot of Beastie Boys, a lot of Kinks, and then smaller groups no one’s heard of, like Warm Soda and Bleached Patton.
In comedy, when a show’s going really well, what’s the feeling for you in the room? He said, The best way to describe it is, I’m outside of myself and I’m more connected with the larger crowd, the larger feeling of the room. I know this sounds very vague, but you don’t even thinking about the set or what you’re doing joke wise or worldwise. You’re just talking to the audience like they’re one person. Best comedy set you ever watched?
Star Trek growner Patton Oswalt said, I remember there was a night that Dana Gould was at Cobb’s Comedy Club in San Francisco. This was in the nineties. The material was already amazing, but then he went off on some almost hallucinatory riff about Larry King interviewing guests in the time space membrane. I can’t do it justice, but it was one of the most amazing days I’ve ever seen. It’s definitely the best set I’ve ever seen.
Trying to think of best set I ever saw what’s popping to mind is Ralphie May at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Now, that same weekend I saw Chris Rock who destroyed, and then the next night Jerry Seinfeld went up when was even better than Chris Rock. But Ralphie that night in a medium size room. That’s what popped into mind, randomly, without me putting any thought into this. If I sit and think about it, I might have a different answer.
Jeff Foxworthy, how do you describe your style? He spoke to McCall dot com Johnny Mac. Is this a holiday weekend yet? Is guys coming up on the show? Completing its seventh year?
We know how the show goes by Now I might do an anniversary special. I have to think about it. I might do a Letterman styled like anti seventh anniversary show July twenty ninth. I don’t know, We’ll see Jeff fox already said, like most comics, when I started out, I remember looking at bill boards and watching commercials and thinking what can I talk about? I learned early on there’s a commonality we as human beings have.
We’re all doing the same goofy stuff in life. I’ve always trusted that we’re doing this for forty two years. But if you go back in time, the first material I did was about dating that it was about being a newlywed, then about having kids, then having teenagers. If you go listen to an old CD or watch a special I did, it’s almost like a snapshot of what was going in my life that year. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
You always hear comedians talk about the bad parts of getting older. I thought, I’m going to approach it different and talk about all the great things about getting older. It’s a fun template to turn upside down. As you get older. You don’t have to worry about the cops showing up if you’re having a party.
That is not true. I I had a pool party a few years ago and somebody called the cops on us, and the cops showed up and the look on their face because I was like, I had no idea why they were there. I think we had a radio on it, like I’ll describe it as normal volume, and the cops are like, we got a noise complaint. And the cop this face just told me that he thought the whole thing was stupid, and I was like, I don’t know, maybe people were hitting the pool with the pool noodles and that made a sound and the cop was like, okay, keep it down. Jeff Foxworthy said, if you get older, you don’t have to worry about the cops showing up at for having a party.
If there’s flashing lights in my driveway, it’s usually an ambulance telling you not to play twister with people in their eighties. All right, Tomorrow on this program, it is July fourth, I’ve done one of those deep dive episodes. It is titled George Carlin America’s Prophet. Now I’ll tell you all you need to know about that. One Sunday, I’m planning on doing top specials of the year so far.
And it is Friday. So let’s take a look at the Comedy stock Market. Comedy stock Market, if you were new to all this. Every Friday on the Comedy stock Marker, we take a look at which comedians are undervalued, which comedians are overvalued. I’m actually going to add a cell here on the fly.
Based on today’s episode. You can probably figure it out.
All right, Let’s buy some John Marcos SERAISI no particular reason.
While I was listening to him on a podcast recently, and I’m like, this guy’s really really good. He’s the goods. I’ve already named him twenty twenty six Comedian of the Year, and people still don’t know who he is. So buy John Marco SIASI, let’s buy some more. Ryan Hamilton.
You guys saw the special. You know it’s pretty good. Let’s buy. Let’s sell Louis C.K. I mean, what is the upside to Louis C.K.
At this point he puts out a special and everybody rehashes stuff over and over. John, you did that all week yourself. I know, I don’t see the value in Louis C.K. Let’s sell, Let’s sell even more. N APERGHATSI.
This UFC thing is not going away. I think the whole thing is ridiculous and overblown. And Shane Gillis was there too, and no one cared. But if Nate’s looking to open up Nate Land and people are like, well, you went to a UFC fight one time, I don’t know, man sell Neighborghatsy, let’s sell our stock. And Trevor Noah.
I kind of see where Trevor wants to go with his whole persona. And I don’t think a lot of people are gonna want to go with him, and I’m not sure that he cares and he’ll go there anyway. But from a value standpoint, let’s sell our stock in Trevor Noah. Let’s sell James Cordon. You know he’s hosting show after soccer and there’s zero buzz on it.
Sell Let’s buy Ben Gleb. You know I kind of eye rolled his late night thing, but the numbers have been pretty okay on YouTube. He may be onto something. Let’s buy some Ben Gleib and the late edition. Let’s sell Robbie Hoffman.
You know, when you first see Robbie Hoffman, you’re like, oh my god, she’s amazing. That’s so different. That’s one thing, but establishment Robbie Hoffman having The New York Times over to profile her at her place, that’s just the opposite of cool. Alright, So the recap, we’re buying John Marco, we’re buying Ryan Hamblintson, we’re selling Ck, we’re selling Nate, we’re selling Trevor, we’re selling Cordon, we’re selling Robbie, and we’re buying Ben Gleeb. That is your comedy stock market for today.
If you need some stuff to listen to over the weekend. There’s always Daily Comedy News, but also Pete Holmes was the guest on Comedy Means Business. That’s Deadline’s podcast. The episodes a couple months ago at this point, but I finally got around to it this week and it was really really good. I like Pete and Everything’s about John.
Marcus Raisi was on Stavi’s World. That was also a good listen. Website Rittholtz dot com has the headline comedy is Hot. They were taking a look at the meteor issue of Pollstar and there was a chart for venues with capacities of five thousand or less and ritt Holtz discovered comedy is on this list. They’re right, So starting with the two thousand to five thousand capacity venues, number one is Jerry Seinfeld, which is not surprising.
Number two is DJ Subtronics. Three is Berg Kraser, four Christian Contemporary artist Josiah Queen, five def Leopard Somehow, six Manheim Steamroller, seven E d M Artist K forty s or K forties. I don’t know, I’m old, but three thousand people are going to see them, so great. Eight Jim Gaffigan nine British comedian Michael McIntyre and ten Josh Johnson. Brendan Ayre has announced his debut comedy special, the mental health themed Alive and Well, will premiere exclusively on the eight hundred pound Gerilla’s new streaming service, Gorilla Comedy Plus, on July sixth, that’s Monday, and the special will be available on the YouTube channel August fourth.
We are told from snakes wearing coats to being bipolar. Brendan’s laid back, observational style covers both the silly and the serious. Courted at the Blend Art Gallery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, he discusses his fatherhood, mental health, the burden of owning a cast iron skillet, and more. He told Deadline the hour super special to me. There’s a lot of normal, silly stuff, but I also take on my struggles with mental health, which is such an important topic to me.
I’m really excited to get the special out into the world. That is your comedy news for today. I hope you have an awesome, awesome weekend. I hope Independence Day July fourth is everything all of us want. I’m personally disappointed that the USA two fifty is nowhere near what the Bisonennial was.
If you want my thoughts on that, check out my substack link in the notes, but it’s mcdeepod dot substack dot com. I wrote about that about a week ago. But I’m just kind of disappointed because the Bisonentennial was amazing. But I hope tomorrow is good. All right, Tomorrow on this program, George Carlin, America’s Profits Sunday Best specials of the year so far.
Monday, normal episode. Back to work, so enjoy the holiday weekend. Bye bye,
