The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Last night. I watched Bert Kreisher’s new special. This morning, as I was doing an Apple spin class Humble Bragg, I listened to Bert Kreisher with Joe Rogan.
Let’s start with that fantastic go listen to it if you’re really in the comedy. They were talking, you know, inside baseball as we call it, and I thought it was really interesting. Bert apparently played Rogan’s club this week and he said to the audience He’s not going to do the machine bit unless Ron White gets up and does his tater salad bit, and both happened. Imagine seeing that in the club. But that must have been awesome.
There’s about ten minutes or so where they started talking about sexual things and dominatrix is and I just, I don’t know, getting older, prudish. I was just like, I don’t know, I just don’t want to hear this right now. I really don’t want to hear it. You hear me stammering, And I’m not going to edit that out. I didn’t even tell you the story what Kreisher was doing with Cigar.
I just I’m like, I don’t need to hear this, I get it. So the comedy self was fantastic. Then they got back to talking about comedy, and Burton Joe were talking about comedy cheats in the club, the things you can get away with in a small setting to carry a set that don’t work in a theater, and I thought that was really interesting. So if you’re interested in the art of comedy, high recommend on. Joe Rogan and Bert Kreisher.
On the same podcast, Joe We’re going To discussed Will Smith, and Rogan said the stuff Chris Rock said about Will Smith was ruthless, and then speaking of Will imagine the thought like, I’m just gonna slap Chris Rock, one of the greatest stand up comedians of all time. After I slap him, he’s gonna have some of the best comedy anybody’s ever written, and he’s gonna hone it for over a year before he releases it. Like, what a terrible, unprovoked attack. What a dumb thing to do to be that person who’s publicly loved. Until that moment, nobody had a bad thing to say about Will Smith.
Everybody loved that guy. So you can find all that on the Joe Rogan experience right. Bert Kreisher’s a new special. So originally this episode was going to lead off with a review of the special, and I don’t want to come across as negative. And I feel like the last few major specials that come out, I’ve been like, So let me just tell you my emotional worlder Coaster sat down.
Bert Kreischer really excited about it. Hit play. Bert comes out. It’s high energy. I’m really digging the first ten minutes or so.
And then I was sitting in the comfy chair. Please understand, one hundred percent of the time I sit in the comfy chair, I fall asleep. One hundred percent. If I play video games fall asleep, watch TV, I fall asleep. So I’m watching Bert show and I start to get a little comfortable, and I’m enjoying it, and you know, maybe i’ll rest my eyes here, and I actually dozed off for I don’t know how long, not that long, but I definitely fell asleep during Bert Kreisher’s special.
I don’t say that to hate. I don’t even share that to say the special was bad. I forgot to tell you earlier in the day, I had ran a pretty aggressive treadmill race using this whiffed app. I was running this virtual race and I had a lot of times, so I was a little tired from that. But I came to and I got back into the special, and I just wasn’t feeling the stories.
And by the time it headed for the end, I couldn’t wait for to end. I actually hit pass to see how much was left, and there was five and a half minutes left, which meant he was into or heading for his closer and the closure was weak, and I don’t know about this one was really excited. And again I’m sure some of you were out there going, this guy hates every single special. I know it’s but it’s tough first quarter. So John, will it make your best of twenty twenty three list?
No? And some specials not on the list include Mark Marin, Andrew Santino, and now Burt Kreisher. What is on the list? John, excluding the things that aren’t stand up specials, just stand up specials? Number one?
Nate Briganci, Hello World, Jim Jeffreys at number two, Chris Rocket number three, and I have the roast of mister Peanut. I know you’re like, what is this guy talking about? The Roast of Mister Peanut. Why don’t you go on YouTube and actually watch the Roast of mister Peanut. That’s the fourth best stand up special of the year so far.
Not on the list Maren Santino or Kreisher. I’m sorry, Burt. I really really enjoy you. I really liked you on Rogan. I like most things you do.
But apparently I wasn’t feeling this latest special. I’m sorry, and I actually feel bad. Stat Nyland Live caught up with Artie Lang’s friend Jimmy Palumbo. Jimmy Palumbo says, Already’s doing okay. He’s sober.
He’s just trying to put it all together right now, get himself healthy and have a clear mind. And he’s just not really doing anything any public appearances. But did you talk to him. I talked to his mother and his sister, and you know, he’s just kind of put it all together. So I’m hopeful that soon you’re going to see Already Lang again.
He’s still got that fastball left. I pray for him. I wish him well, me too, worked with Already in a handful of times. He’s exactly who you think he is in the good way, really great guy to work with. The Laugh Button has announced a new special from Jay McBride, who is fantastic and below the radar.
Why don’t you check out this one. It’s called Daddy’s Girl. It’s Jay McBride’s debut release and it’ll be on The Laugh Button’s YouTube page today. They write, Jay McBride is no joke, proudly transgender and crushing it on a national level, working as a writer on Inside Amy Schumer as well as handling feature duties that’s taken her all the way to performances at the illustrious and Madison Square Garden. This special was recorded July twenty twenty two at Union Hall in Brooklyn.
Daddy’s Girls showcases Jay McBride slaying the enamored crowd with her rapid fire, wit, Martini, dry delivery and genuine graciousness. Yeah like jail a lot. Check that out. I’m going to avoid saying all rights three times in a row as I tell you about Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s new project. They’re teaming up for a new Apple TV Plus comedy.
They will play versions of themselves in untitled ten episode, half hour comedy McConaughey and Harrelson, along with her families, attempt to live together on McConaughey’s Texas ranch. M Can I pretend this is a Yellowstone spinoff? And of course those close confines put the storied friendship to the test. Apple TV says the show is a heartfelt, odd couple love story revolving around the strange and beautiful bond between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. From The La Times.
A new local comedy festival spotlighting up and coming talent coming to North Hollywood next month. Comedy Dynamics cool guys who do good work in comedy. They will debut the inaugural Stars of Tomorrow Festival at the El Portal Theater April fifth through the ninth, eighteen comedians on the lineup. They’ll have their sets filmed with the Intentional License and distribute them in late twenty twenty three. Comedy Dynamics is a great company to partner up with.
Brian Volkweiss. I’ve worked with him in the past. He’s one of the suits over there. He’s like v suits over there, and he’s not a suit at all, Like you know what, I mean, he’s a boss, but he’s not a suit you know what I’m saying. He’s cool, That’s what I’m saying.
Bryan said, We’re thrilled to be putting on our first ever festival, and we’re thankful to the City of North Hollywood and the El Portal Theater for providing a great venue for the celebration.
Meanwhile, the Dubai Comedy Festivals coming back May twelfth to the twenty f…
They’ve announced their first four things. One of them is podcast. The others Jimmy Carr, Irish comedian Damra O’Brien, and Zakir Khan. I’m not familiar with Zakir. I’m told Zakir Khan is one of the leading stars of India’s new generation of stand up comedians and YouTube is very nice.
The Aspen Times had a headline that cracked me up. The headline quote, Bob Goldthwaite’s brand of comedy will make an appearance. What does that mean, Bob Goldthwaite’s brand of comedy. Isn’t Bob Goldthwaite making an appearance. It’s not like I’m going there and doing some lame, half ass version of bobcat Goldthwaite’s brand is Bobcat himself.
Anyway, The Aspen Times asked him, you have a successful career as a screenwriter director. Why I returned to stand up in small venues. The Cat said, I started doing comedy clubs when I was fifteen. I got Letterman when I was twenty. Now I’m sixty.
It was forty years ago, and for a long time I didn’t think I liked it anymore. After taking a few years off, and especially because of the pandemic, I realized I missed it. Even though I’m working on other stuff, I guess I’m a comedian before or anything else, and I’m enjoining connecting with an audience again. I go out every weekend and I do different gigs from alabamaa anchorage, and I’m just thinking, let’s see how this goes. My favorite thing is when you actually come up with an idea that you’ve never had before while you’re on stage, and at lands, it’s certainly it.
I can’t imagine another kind of performer that has that. Well, maybe a j as artist might know the feeling, but nothing else can be compared to it. It’s twenty twenty three, so they had to ask him about cancel culture, and he said, I’ve been canceled. Says the guy on the podcast with his Twitter feed on his Instagram, I have no freedom of speech. But he can see their pay per view special.
Real censorship is the comedian in South America who’s talking about his dad who was a radio guy with a sense of humor, and then just one day he goes to jail for cracking jokes. That’s censorship that’s been canceled. These guys are all playing arenas and they’re doubling down on toxic views today. Chapelle, the thing is homophobi and transphobia are insidious going after those communities they know not not going to be met with as much resistance, but it’s just everything’s getting chipped away. Is crazy from banning books, and it goes on and on.
Then when you do comedy, you don’t reinforce those viewpoints. Sometimes people get mad, But the other night, I gotta be able to hit the pillow and feel like I’ve done an okay job. Because no matter how this all plays out, five grandchildren some day and they say, hey, what did Grandpa do when this was going down, I want them to say, well, he was a pretty vocal anti fascist.

Fascinating question. Kevin Boseman said, I’m a starter who likes to shoot a lot. So I’m like Kylie Irving, like I’m gonna get your buckets. Just don’t expect me to lead you anywhere, all right. I’d like that well played.
