The Shark Deck Shnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News from the Late Bot Late BoNT did a good jomp today. Hey, happy day after Mother’s Day. Today’s the day when all the moms gets relaxed but their feet Never mind, Hey mom, what’s for breakfast? Yesterday was all about celebrating moms. Today is about apologizing for not doing enough.
I hope everybody had a great Mother’s Day. But if you didn’t call your mom, don’t worry. She’ll let you know about it for the next three and sixty four days. The day after Mother’s Day is like a hangover after a really good party. You wake up and think, wait, did I really spend that much money on flowers?
That was all the ai? Those were pretty good, right? All right? We had a kerfluffle at a comedy club, but Chrissy Mayor is on stage at the Hyena’s Comedy Nightclub. Mayor took a shot at Dylan mulvaney for not having top or bottom surgery a year after his transition.
Mayor joke that she would find the largest male genitalia to add to her body if she were transitioning to a man. So she questioned what mulvaney was waiting for her joke three hundred and sixty five days, like, why has it been a year of girlhood and still no boobs? That’s day one, okay. If I’m transitioning to a dude, day one, I’m getting a large japentage. I’m getting the biggest one you can find.
Like going to the back room, get me something black, Okay, I have something approve here? Why no boobs for Dylan? I don’t understand. An audience members shouted out because he’s a man. Mayor nodded in agreements.
Another person in the crowd said no, she’s a woman. Mayor said, oh, we have one of those. Tensions escalated from there. Some offended patrons got up and left the show. One yelled fu transphobe.
As defended members exited the building, Mayor took a shot at their wait and said, make sure she gets home. I don’t want those women to get a harpooned in the neck on the way to their cars. Worried about their safety. There’s poachers out there. They’re gonna want their tusks.
Via Twitter, Mayor said audience members complained in management before knocking over her merchandise table. Mayor tweets just fy these women and put women in quotes for some reason, when straights and management to complain and then proceeded to stampede a parentheses knock over my merch table. This is the conflict when it comes to comedy and leftists. It’s not just compatible. Reactions to her tweet were mixed.
One wrote that Mayor confuses nasty hate with comedy. John Stewart questioned CNN for having former President Trump on the other day, and John tweeted deared TV. The problem with the Trump town hall wasn’t platforming or a fragile, silent audience unable to be exposed to newsworthy opinions antithetical to their own. The problem was an event that was clearly negotiated a Trump’s approval and owed to access. Stewart wrote from the perspective of CNN saying, we promise good, sir, we are no longer fake news an enemy of the people.
Let us prove to you we are fair and good and we will do this however you would like, just come back. Bill Burt tweeted about New York and Knicks head coach Tom at Tibado. The coach doesn’t have the most full head of hair. Bliber, who has chosen a shave clean himself, says, I respect that the Knicks coach still puts product in his hair. Conan O’Brien was at the podcast upfronts and told this story.
Said, I was heading to dinner and this woman stopped me on the street and she talked to me about how much she liked the podcast. Well, it’s pretty cool, Conan Great. Conan says, would you like a selfie? And she said no, I’m good. Codan’s like, are you sure you don’t want a selfie?

John, you didn’t talk about it much. You worked out this weekend. Sticking with today’s theme, let me just play all my cards up. My uncle passed away last week, so Thursday and Friday was week and funeral. Yes, Karen, I’m working a funeral into your advertisement, and along with that becomes moving around all the various podcasts that I work on.
So I’m recording this one on Sunday morning. It is a beautiful Sunday morning. Normally I would have taken today and gone out for a long run. But then you wouldn’t have any podcast on Monday and you’d be sad. Boy, that was passive aggressive.
But this week I’m going to get back on it because I am signed up for the New York City Marathon and at some point you can’t be like, well, I probably should have trained. I’ll just gut out this twenty six point two. You cannot gut out twenty six point two. The Power of the Streak Amazon, Barns and Noble Online is an audiobook to do it. I did find a few minutes to watch Hannah Gadsby’s new special, It’s fine.
I feel like I’m in this bad run of every special now. I’m just like, Ah’s okay, so I’m hoping one comes along that just really tickles my brain. It was a nice company. I don’t think I laughed at all, and I’m not saying that to like hate on the special. Like I said, it was a nice company.
It was charming. I enjoy Hannah, but it didn’t light up the parts of my brain they go, oh, this is really amazing. So it’s fine. Hannah spoke to people and they asked where they find inspiration, Hannah says, well, I go to my life where I make lots of mistakes and embarrassment. It’s an embarrassment of riches.
I leave a trail of comedy in my wake. It’s not comedy necessarily in the moment, but that’s part of what I do, repackage on my woes. In the past, I haven’t repackaged it. I said, here’s my woe, ha ha. But this is repackaging it.
It’s more lighthearted. But I always begin with a story that I know is funny and then build it out from there. It’s a fairly authentic show, being exactly who I want to be and who I am. I feel like I’m in the moment. Doing a show that is positive is not as easy as he had to imagine.
It’s much easier to be miserable. So this really did push my skills to the limits. Creative show that is not smug, that’s relatable, but also sharing a real sense of joy. Hannah spoke about not interacting with their fans and explained, I don’t interact a great deal with my fans. I’m on the spectrum and I find that overwhelming.
But I do love my fan base. They’re very respectful and I do get a lot of feedback, particularly from people on the spectrum. That feels great for me because I don’t think there’s a lot of people on the spectrum being autistic talking about being autistic, and it’s kind of territory, so I really like that I’m able to offer a bit of solace around the traps. Note to yourself, if you have a podcast, use black font for whatever reason. My script today is in blue and I could barely read it.
At the Dubai Comedy Festival, Irish comedian Dara O’Brien, if you are in Dubai, thanks for listening, and you can expect a mix of stories, one liners and more. Time out Dubai warns you if you’re sitting in the front row, watch out. He does mess with the audience.
Also there today osco at Kotska, Beth Selling and Rachel Feinstein.
That’s a heck of a show Dubai. You can get in for one hundred and seventy five Dubai currency units. I don’t know what d S is, but for one hundred and seventy five of those you could see these three comedians take on real life experiences with a hilarious twist. That’s a really good show. Monday, the New Zealand Comedy Festival is off, saying he has a couple of shows from people you’ve heard of, Joe like It and Dylan Morin.
Here’s a crossover story from the Palace Intrigue podcast. That’s the podcast about the British Royal family. I’m the writer and one of the listeners, Becky It, said hey, did you see the story? You should share it? And I’m like, oh, I definitely saw it.
So with Becky’s encouragement, I will share it on the comedy podcast. Did you see the guy at King Charles Coronation? He had shaggy hair, big mustache, sunglasses. Some people thought he was a jewel thief in disguise. Others thought he was a jewel thief in disguise named Megan Markle.
He is not. He is Sir Carl Jenkins. Enough people accused him of being Megan Markle in disguise that he had to put out a statement saying I look like this all the time. I’ve had the must since I was eighteen years old. It was very trendy then, so that’s me.
Nothing sinister or surprising about it at all, and people pointed it out that’s exactly what a jewel thief and disguise would say.
Also another random one, Dame Judy Dench.
You know her. She played m in a bunch of the James Bond movies. The police visited her and accused her of stealing a deer. She’s eighty eight years old. She explained to the cops.
I had come from the theater. Suddenly in front of us, a deer shout out of the park. We stopped and with enormous difficulty, we got the deer back into the park. The next day the police came and said, we hear you were stealing a deer. Seems unlikely.
