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.
