The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s start a gossip corner because it’s fun. Cracked took a look at what comedians went to see. Taylor Swift apparently, Zach Braff and Donald Fazon there hanging out together fake doctor’s real friends.
I guess Mindy Kaling was there. Molly Shannon, Tiffany Hattish hanging out with Cameron Diaz and Zoe Zaldana. That’s a power group. Mike Myers also hit the show.
Meanwhile, Will Farrell has announced a second installment of Best Night of Y…
This is a benefit for Cancer for College. Nice lineup two, John Stewart, haus On, Minhas, Jocoy, Batty Harrison, Royal Wood, Junior, Roy Scovel, the SmartLess Guys. Some musicians including Mike McCready from Pearl, jam Jack Black and Fred Ormison would perform as supergroup Mike McCready and the casual acquaintances. Will did this back in twenty eighteen in ancient times before the pandemic. That show had Seinfeld, Gimmel, Conan, Sam b Michell, Wolf, Jared Carmichael, and camal Non Gianni Will set immediately upon completing our last show in twenty eighteen, I set out on a search of the cosmos.
The mission was to find the most incredible lineup of talent the world has ever seen. I think we can comfortably say mission accomplished. I’m gonna push back on that. If you watch the video of the Magrigal Mystery Tour where they’re singing all you need is love the Beatles plus the Rolling Stones, pretty good. I digress For those of you saying, but Will, We’ve seen you a lot over the last five years, since successful films on popular streaming platforms and wildly funny TV appearances, I’m here to tell you the cloning is real.
Shout out to Bill Farrell, you did a hell of a job in my absence. My clones and I are super proud to be supporting the charity Cancer for College. I think we can all get on board with hating cancer and the terrible things that come with it. For thirty years, this organization has been providing need based college scholarships, educational experiences in medical debt to cancer survivors. All the proceeds from the show will benefit the cause.
That’s a nice job by Will Ferrell. There Bert Kreischer put out a tweets reminding us to check out Bert Kreisher’s Fully Loaded at Sea cruise, which is a cool thing. I’ll tell you about in a second. But there’s a waiting list, so I’m not even sure why he promoted it. Anyway, if you want to get on the waiting list, Bert Kreisher is fully Loaded at Sea October twenty seventh through the thirty first Miami two, Great Steer of Key Nassa, Bahamas.
Your line up, Bert Kreisher, of course, Mark Norman to Russell Howard, Felipia Sparza, Jim Norton, Miss Patt, Big Jokerson, Chang Wang who I’m a big fan of, Sean Patton, Pete Lee, Bert Kreisher Cruise dot com if you want some information. Sounds like that’ll be a good time if you’re looking to rest, Probably not the right cruise for you. Eric Andre has a new podcast called Bombing with Eric Andre. I liked this the first time when it was called the Art of Bombing with Dan Blublitz Junior. But anyway, Eric Andre’s version.
On his show, he hangs out fellow comedians and friends to talk about their worse moments in all sorts of ways on stage and public bombing in life, and many more northerly stories that may or may not involve audience members throwing a punch. Again, I liked it when it was called The Art of Bombing with and Bulbog Junior. Episode one of Eric Andre’s show has guest at Michelle but so they talk about their early stand up days, not knowing how to handle urine presumably thrown at them, an audience turning on you in Jamaica, and day drinking with Dutch friends. Adam Divine walked back his comments. You may recall his comments were, I feel like superhero movies ruined comedies because you go to theater and you expect to watch something that cost two hundred million dollars to make.
Comedy movies, aren’t that? So you’re like, why would I spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in the theater If I can spend that and go see something and it’s worth two hundred million dollars, I almost almost almost slipped into half ass angry Jerry Seinfeld there anyway, people must given Divine the business because he tweeted as a guy who loves movies and TV. It’s cool to be in variety, but this is misleading. I like Marvel and I think these movies are cool. I’m guessing mister Divine’s agent called him and told him to walk that back.
Total guess by me. No, I feel like busting in half ass angry Jerry Seinfeld. See if I can find an excuse. On today’s Pond, rosebud Baker is recording her special today at the Village Underground in New York City. Chris Tucker going out on tour.
It’s called the Legends Tour, thirty dates kicking off September eighth, and Charleston Sucker said, I started my career doing stand up in comedy clubs, and it’s stand up comedy that prepared me for all my movie roles. And if he said the rest of his quote as a half ass angry Jerry Seinfeld impression, it would sound something like this. I’m looking forward to getting back to my roots. I love before we live. It’s nothing like the energy of a live crowd, make people laugh, excited to be out there and tour.
Hollywood Reporter it took a look at celebrity podcast and who’s allowed to do what Zach Braff and Donald Fazon, you know, fake Doctor’s real friends. Sometimes they see Taylor Swift together. They said, we’re not allowed to talk about scrubs. Now, I don’t know if they said that both at the same time or how that works, but that’s the quote, we are not allowed to talk about scrubs. Not sure who said it a sag after a spokesperson tells the Hollywood Reporter Rewatch, Recap and Companion shows are promotional.
They can drive viewers to struct companies platforms to watch Struck shows. Members who appear as guests in these podcasts are not permitted to promote Struck work under any circumstances unless they have a contract. See that’s not any circumstances if I throw an unless in there, unless they have a contract that predates the strike and pre existing contractual obligations that they must honor. Hosts who are members should also refrain from promoting Struck work. A talents publicist says it’s frustrating because there are only so many ways some of these actors can make money, and I seriously doubt that discussing an eighteen year old episode of a canceled show is doing anything for the studios.
They Always Sunny guys say they won’t release episodes of the Always Sunny podcast while the strike goes unresolved. Kind Of good for me because I liked that podcast, but I’m about one hundred episodes behind now fly reporter points out that’s going to get complicated because they have some live recordings on the calendar, including one sold out show at Radio City Music Hall. The Office Ladies have been putting out their show, but noting the recordings had taken place before the strike. I feel like what I do here? Go to buy me a coffee?
Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. There’s some money in the tip jar. I’ll take your money. I’ll go to the National Donuts chain. I will get a largeized coffee with caramel and milk, and I will thank you on the show, which reminds me Zach had enjoyed one of my social media posts, and Zach commented, Hey, I’ve been enjoying the podcast.
Also wanted to mention that a couple months ago, my show The Big Laugh came out on two B. It’s six comedians doing fifteen minute sets, a bunch of US comics rented out of Comedy club and put together a killer show. All right, everybody that’s called the Big Laugh on two b Zach, thanks for sharing that. I will try and catch up on it. I’m behind on my comedy.
I don’t want to bring the show down. So my mom’s been like really sick and it’s been really stressful, and then quite candidly gaffing in special deals with funerals, which is why I’m avoiding it. Enough said, move on, okay, been a stressful month. Garrett millerc is playing the Fringe Garrett Road on Yahoo. Hey, we’ve been trying to unpack why we all do the Edinburgh Festival, not just performers but audiences.
By the time you shouted out for a combination travel, food, drinks and tickets, you’re down a grand minimum. For the same money, you can op on a plane and be sipping a mohito on a beach in the Maldives. But you’re not. You’re in a basement in Scotland looking at me. His whole thing is an immersive experience in mental collapse.
Everybody here is in some way unhappy with their lot. The performers are duking it out so to get reviews, awards and recognitions. So they can get more television, more radio, more followers. It’s a constant chase, a desire to be laughed at and taken seriously at the same time. Look at the cavalcade of posters laden with quotes promising to be the funniest person who ever lived, but complimented by a picture of someone who looks like they’re about ready to ruin a dinner party.
Trauma has been the enduring trend of the festival for a few good years, minding the worst experiences of life for laughs and recognition. Audiences are here to pursue happiness just as much as we are. Drinking from two pint jugs at lunchtime and seeing nine comedy shows a day is well above the recommended units of both. I do this professionally five nights a week and can tell you that the same number of live comedy shows to see in a year is probably two nine in a day. Get some ill.
You aren’t going out for seven dinners tonight. Stop eating when you’re full. Garrett Milleric’s show is called Never Had It So Good. You’ll find Garrett at the monkey Barrel at the Tron. Mary O’Connell’s show is called Monkey Princess Yahoo says it’s a blessed antidote to the very modern and wholly deluded pandemic of absolute certainty.
She doesn’t pretend to have any of the answers and instead obsesses over life’s every day absurdities. You’ll find Mary at Pleasant Courtyard Bunker three. Geordo gave four stars to Dan Tiernan show and said the show isn’t like being trapped in a basement with a craze lunatic yelling in your face. That’s precisely what it is. Dan has a lot of issues.
He knows he looks a bit peculiar and rattles off one hilarious analogy after another, quickly moving away from celebrity lookalikes into odd but uncannily precise descriptions that become running jokes across the hour. There’s some element of freak show here, a sort of comes see the wild Man of Manchester rattling his cage danger to his intense delivery, which Tunin fully leans into four stars from Shortal. You’ll find tune In at Monkey Barrel Comedy Club. Gary mule Deer a relatively obscure comedian. I know his work from when I used to run the comedy channels at the satellite radio place many many years ago.
Gary does a pretty cool Johnny cash bit. Anyway, there’s a new documentary about him called show Business Is My Life, But I can’t prove it. A film about Gary mule Deer. Some of the people who are peering it Amy Grant, Alice Cooper, and David Letterman. Red Sanders is the producer and says, so often we as Americans look at the big A list celebrity names is like they’ve really do it.
But it was interesting to see someone who didn’t have the true limelight of an A list celebrity, but is still able to look back in his career where he got what he’s done and be happy with it.
And then on the flip side, how some of these A list celebrities look at Garre…
He’s doing what we always wanted to do. And that is your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or YouTube. Trying to get to a thousand subscribers, help me out do that, push the subscribe button. See you tomorrow.
