Caloroga Shark Media. Let’s take a break today, No politics, no Tony. How’s that for a change. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s just do comedy comedy stuff today.
Sam Morrill tweeted, I just watched all three Godfather movies. I was on the checkout line behind one person at CBS. The Moon Tower Comedy Festival is a big one. They’ve announced their lineup for twenty twenty five April ninth through the nineteenth in Austin, Texas. It’s the festival’s thirteenth year, will feature Adam Ray as a doctor, Phil Parody, Tig Natsorro Fortune, Femster, May Martin osco Atkotska, and quote many more.
The many more include Big Jay Okerson Podcast, Legion of Skanks, Brad Williams, Josh Johnson, and local talent including Eliza Splatt, Andrew Murphy, Ashley Sharma, Averymore, Brett ver Vort, Chris Teles, Colton Delling, Denny Goodwin, Doug Millard, Dylan Carlino, Genevieve Clinton, and many more. A promotion called the Bestie Badge offers twenty five dollars off every badge to those who buy two or more. You’ve heard me say before, the best way to handle a festival is to hop and don’t go see the headliners. You’ve seen the headliners before, go see the other people. That’s how you get the most out of the festival.
Another festival has announced a lineup. It’s the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, returning new venues across Canada next summer. They have announced their headliners Not Bad John Mulaney and Jim Gaffigan. They will co headline one weekend of the festival with performances in Winnipeg and Edmonton on July nineteenth and July twentieth. Festival producer Brennan McFall, in a statement, said, we couldn’t be more excited to announce this John and Jim co headline as the first couple shows for twenty twenty five.
They are longtime friends and a couple of the best comedians of our time. They’ve never performed like this, so having them on the same stage on the same night in both Winnipeg and Edmonton is going to be an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance.
Speaking of John Mulaney, I couldn’t we get to this all week, because you kno…
Mulaney surprised Olivia Munn by showing up to present her with in Style’s Image Maker Award. John told the star studded crowd, which included Chrissy Teagan, Laverne Cox, and Hilary Duff. John said, Olivia is saving lives by speaking her truth. Is not surprising to me. Olivia is constantly trying to keep me out of danger and keep me alive through a series of texts throughout entire relationship.
Mulaney then took out his phone and read out at an example of one of their texting changes. John sheared, this was like the two hundred time I took her son out for a walk at a stroller in Chicago, troute me out of nowhere with no context. Please be so careful today. So many crazy things can come out of nowhere. I texted back, Like what, Olivia responded, crazy cars.
You don’t hear enough about crazy cars. Ronny Chieng will have a special for Netflix, this one called Love to Hate It Netflix, December seventeenth, taped at the Historic Hawaii Theater in Honolulu, where he had a five nights sold out run. The special unpacks the indignities of the IVF process, the pitfalls of being a man on the Internet, and the palace of the older Jenner in today’s world. Adrian apple Uji will have a special called The Dark Queen, directed by Louis c. K not so canceled and produced by Arishafir, now out November twelfth.
Adrian takes aim at our public figure We’re not doing that today, awkward tribute tattoos, virtual signaling, and more. This was filmed at the Comedy Seller last fall. Alasan Alabama dot com spoke to Hannibal Burs. They were curious, Annibal, you’ve been doing pop up shows lately where you announced the performance just days before it happens. What’s the appeal?
Annibill said, There’s a few things. Man. It’s just fun to kind of do things in short notice and kind of change my plans and change people’s plans and do something exciting, kind of puts a deadline on it. The tickets will sell faster a lot of times too, when it’s something like that versus the ones where I put them on sale more time. I mean, they have to just because of the nature of you know, the show’s about to happen.
There’s a lot of excitement around it, so I just like doing them these days. I don’t like having too much on the calendar. Honestly, I’m opening a venue in Brooklyn interesting, and I thought would be open by now. I thought we’re going to open in summer. So now I’m doing gigs to help pay for this venue construction all this stuff.
But the surprise element is always fun. Man, Have there not be a show one day and you know two days before day. Have sometimes let people know the show’s going on. It could be a fun energy. Al dot Com was curious, do you think you have a good level of fame, Like can you walk down the street without getting hassled?
Animal said, yeah, I can move around and go place to solo and it’s pretty normal out and about. So yeah, that’s enjoyable too. I look different now too, My hair looks different. So a lot of times, even if the people know me, I don’t look how they remember me, so they don’t end up saying anything. It’s a good advantage because then you’re able to observe people for comedy writing purposes or have conversations without you know, that affecting it.
And it’s nice to be able to go do stuff and just go to a concert solo, all kinds of things. It’s pretty mellow. I dress that on stage with certain places. I’m not gonna get bothered at a cracker barrel. I don’t get bothered when I’m at a dispensary.
They go crazy. Sarah Silverman’s vote to WPR. Sarah, you’re known for being pretty fearless in your comedy. Have you ever thought of something that’s two out of bounds even for you? Sarah said no, but there have been things I’ve decided not to talk about because They’m either too close to it or I’m not sure what’s true, what’s real?
You know, Like I think I’m semi responsible for what comes out of my mouth, but only semi responsible because I’m also a comic and I’m ten years old. Sarah’s in Madison tonight at the Orpheum Theater. If you need plans and you’re in Madison, We’ve got a private jet. And you really like comedy, she warns you. Though, my last special came out on HBO right after my parents passed away, like two weeks later, so I said zero with stand up material.
My step mom and dad died nine days apart. It was a wild experience. My dad was my best friend, so I did his eulogy, and eulogy was pretty funny. I started doing stand up talking about it, and it turns out there was a lot of comedy there. This is like the worst ad for a comedy show, but I promise it’s funny.
It’s very dark tomorrow on this program, my guest is Dez. Bishop did forty five minutes with him on Monday. I showed an excerpt about thing we’re not talking about on Tuesday’s podcast, but you can hear the whole conversation there. If you are an Irish American kid from Queens, New York who is in the bar scenes in the nineties and you’re a Mets fan, this is the pod cast for you. Some of you might listen to it and be like, what are these two even talking about?
But you know, I stayed in that lane. I’m an Irish American kid from Queens who hit the bar seat in the nineties, that I’m a Mets van and so those deads and we had a lot to talk about there. So I really enjoyed the conversation. I’ll be curious to see your reaction. That’s tomorrow.
Sunday will be a normal episode, and then you know, next week gonna have to talk about the thing we’re not talking about today, guys, which reminds me the New York Comedy Festival is at the end of next week, and I’m wondering if they were paying attention to the thing we’re not talking about today. I feel like the Comedy Festival might get completely overshadowed by that event on Tuesday that we’re not talking about. We will see this next thing is fun. On December ninth, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus will stream the Dallas Cowboys Cincinnati Bengals game. But they’re doing one of those overlays.
Was so much fun, and this one, all the players will be replaced by animated characters based on those from Simpsons. Yeah, They’ve got this cool technology where they can somehow animate the game. The full roster of Simpson’s voice talent ar participating, including Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, et cetera. They will lend their voices to pre recorded bits and skits written by the Simpsons production team that will run before and during the game, including some that involve players from each team and steven A. Smith and Peyton and Eli Manning.
The Alts cast will also have its own announcer booth with animated versions of Mina chimes. Dan Rolovsky and Drew Carter calling the game for parts of the game. Bart Simpson will appear on the field for the Bengals, replacing an actual Bengals player, while Homer Simpson will play for the Cowboys. Margin Lisa will interview players during the game. Maggie Man’s the Skycam.
Joe and Troy will have the game on the normal channel. The Manning cast will be on ESPN two. Simpson’s version on Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. I don’t know either, but I have my ways. Nudge, nudge, wink wink, say no more.
The pressure Lease tells us the Simpsons it’s a younger male demo that the NFL wants to reach. Yeah, I mean the NFL is barely reaching dudes. It’s a good thing they’re they’re connecting with a thirty five year old cartoon, or guys wouldn’t watch the end of what are you talking about? David Gabori has an album out today. It is called Birth of a Nation, available everywhere where comedy is streamed and sold.
David started doing stand up in twenty ten and san fran because a friend advised them that if he bombed, at least he wouldn’t run into anyone he knew. Recorded in Denver, David cheers what it’s like to grow up in a house full of women, mocks the emotional nature of tough guys, and confesses he believed therapy was a scam until he cried in front of his therapist. I don’t know if you know this. SNL turns fifty this year, and originally we were going to talk about it every day, and then that other topic came up and we got distracted. But we’re back to talking about SNL.
Mikey Day said, it’s odd out during a bomb, there’s no sound, so if like two people laugh, that’s super loud. Bow and Yang explained Lauren’s mantra is the audience is never wrong. It doesn’t matter how funny or prepared you are in your piece. If it doesn’t land in the room, it’s not gonna play at home. And if the audience in the bleach doesn’t like it, and that’s not their fault.
John Clees revealed the faulty Tower stage show. We’ll tour the UK next year. Clee said, it’s just wonderful to see people laughing like that because when I was growing up with all those great sitcoms, people used to laugh more than they do now, and I think people miss it a bit and there’s a little bit of nostalgia in the audience when they’re laughing. And that is your comedy news for today. Tomorrow, Dez Bishop and I we’ll talk for forty five minutes or so normal episode on Sunday and again next week.
Gonna have to talk about the thing. But hope you enjoyed the break today. See you tomorrow.
