The Shark Deck Johnny meg who with your Daily Comedy News A busy day again? Did you say the writers might go on strike out in Hollywood? Yahoo has an interesting piece with an anonymous member of the Writer’s Guild. The topic here Late night and I thought it was interesting. Yahoo quotes w G A anonymous as saying, there’s a lot of uneasiness in general.

People aren’t sure of what’s going to happen in this negotiation. You combine that with the shifting quote unquote Late night world. That’s harder to define these days because almost nobody watches Late Night Live. It’s become a different thing, the uneasiness of this business and economy, and there’s more writers than ever looking for a finite amount of jobs, so of course becomes stuff or to find work. Anonymous continues, Late night ratings have been dwindling by the day, and for a decade, late night shows have been writing and producing for an eventual online audience, stuff that will be consume the next day and beyond.

Whether it’s carpool karaoke or foul in playing toy instruments to a pop song, it’s all either on youtubeer social media. Most of that stuff is put out as promotional, so we never see a residual that has a lot to do with what’s going on this negotiation. There’s a general changing of what the comedy and variety definition is. We all have stories. You get the residual check for four cents or something like that.

I got to check the other day for twenty nine cents, two payments, three cents and twenty six cents. It would take me months to track down where that came from. It’s just so hard to find out what you’re even being paid for. If you get five hundred bucks in the mail, you just put it in the bank. You’re not going to spend two weeks trying to figure out where it came from.

It’s hard for writers to keep up with what their actual contract says, and I think that’s by designed by the powers that be. This negotiation it’ll reveal a lot. There’s so much transition going on the studios they’re investors the bottom line, and then the way they view the future of quote unquote content and whether they value writers or if they think they can move on with fewer writers and use artificial intelligence to write scripts. All right, So I’m going to jump in there because that intrigued me, and what it inspired me to do is look at some actual late night jokes, which again will have been hold much better by the professional late night host than they will buy some idiot and his basement. So I took the actual jokes and I had the chat CHEPT write some jokes the topic.

President Biden ending the COVID emergency. Okay, you tell me my performance aside, if the chat GPT jokes aren’t as good as the late night jokes, I’m serious here, ready, chat GBT. In a bold move, President Biden has declared an end to the COVID emergency. It’s like when your mom announces the end of dinner but you’re still not done eating. We’re all like, wait, are you sure it’s over all right, Colbert, I’m not sure what it means for health, but it means that we can finally get back to some of our favorite pre pandemic elite show segments like Subway Blind Taste Test.

Chat GBT, Biden says, the COVID emergency is over, which means we can finally go back to our normal lives, you know, like arguing with relatives at Thanksgiving and pretending to enjoy the small talk at the office. Jimmy Kimmel, The end of the COVID era is surprisingly kind of bitter sweet. This morning I did something. I wiped down my groceries just for old times sake. I actually bought a bottle of purel and wiped it down with pul CHATCHBT.

Joe Biden has declared into the COVID emergency, which means we can finally see each other’s faces again, unless you’re holding it on that pandemic beard, which case it’s time for that to go. I think the chat GBT jokes were better. Hannah Gatsby, She’s got a new special coming out. This one is titled Someone Special, was taped at the Sydney Opera House. It features Hannah Gatsby discussing their twenty twenty one wedding to their producer, Jinny Shamash, More than one traumatic encounter with a Bunny and more Someone Special Netflix, May ninth.

No trailer yet, but hopefully they will do it to ton of press and the press will say the words schappell to them and we can stir that up again. That’s always fun. And people over at Hannah Gasby Inc. Are not coordinating because before I saw that they announced the special. I had this story for you.

This from ARTnews dot com. You’re home for art news. Hannah Gatsby is organizing an exhibition about Pablo Picasso for the Brooklyn Museum. It’ll open this summer. The title It’s Pablo Matic Picasso.

According to Hannah Gasby, it’ll feature nearly one hundred works, many of them done by women artists. It’s description promises a look at Pablo Picasso’s complicated legacy through a critical, contemporary and feminist lens, even as it acknowledges his works transformative power and lasting influence. The Guardian ran an article last week asking if we should cancel Pablo Picasso. I don’t want to bog down on that. Just google cancel Pablo Picasso.

Educate yourself. In that article, one of the co curators of the Brooklyn Museum show said, Hannah Gasby says, there’s a lot that’s easy to hate about Picasso. But if the goal was to cancel Picasso, we wouldn’t be doing this show and Hannah wouldn’t be participating. I got an email from JFL Montreal. It said, we’re excited to reveal the first wave of comedians on April thirteenth.

So I guess we know what tomorrow’s podcast will be. I’m recording this on the twelfth. I don’t live in the future. I don’t have the information yet tell you about that tomorrow. Just for last Montreal, you should go.

We could have a beer.

Meanwhile, the lineup for the Calgary Great Outdoors how Many Festival has an…

He’ll be the headliner on Friday, August twenty fifth. He joins previously announced Saturday headliner at Jonathan van Ness of Queer Eye fame, and Sunday Andrew Schultz is your headliner. There’s a mix. Let’s see. I’m getting along here.

I have to bump the stories. Should I bump Sam Morrell or Jay Farrow? They’re both good. Let’s see. I know I’ve got some Sam next week.

Let’s bump Jay Farrow. Sorry, Jay Forbes s Sam Morrell, Hey, what was your first drink? Sam said? Probably wine. The good thing about being a New Yorkers when you first start drinking, it’s either house parties, where the real first move is to go to a Chinese restaurant because they don’t care what age you are.

Again, my information may be very different. But that’s not really how we started. Back in the eighties, you’d go to the bar. They didn’t prove so much, but who knows. It’s a new century.

Things may have changed. What was your first drink of choice? Sam, He said, I definitely liked whiskey early on. That’s aggressive, buddy, because I felt that’s what you should drink as a man. That’s what Bogard drag, and that’s what they drank at the Old West.

They’re not ordering two spritters in a John Wayne movie. All right, Sam, why just start your own whiskey bodega cat? And he said, Mark Norman and I have a podcast called We Might Be Drunk, And it quickly became evident that whiskey was our drink. All these celebrities of their own alcohols, and I was like, why can’t we do it. I put it out there on the podcast.

We got so many emails. We just went with who felt the most legit. Forbes asked him to explain for people not from New York what a bodiga cat is. Sam said, late at night, you go to the bodega, maybe you’ve had a few drinks and you’re looking for a snack. That is exactly why you’re in the bodega.

That’s it. That’s why you’re there. And a little cat we’ll pop out of nowhere. You just pet the cat. It’s this weird bonding moment.

You’re always happy to see a bodega cat. That’s how we want people to feel about our whiskey. It is some cross promo here for Palace Intrigue. That’s the show on the writer on we talking about the British royal family to see yesterday Harry finally said he’s going to go to the coronation. Megan Markel’s not going.

This is good for Palace Intrigue. It’s like an ongoing soap opera that’s this week’s storyline, controversies, whatever. So if you want to keep up on all that Palace Intrigue, if you get your podcast. I did wind up watching Jury Duty like I promised. I liked it a lot, watched all four available episodes.

Is it hilarious no? Is it entertaining? Yes? Is it addicting yes? First episode I was like, all right, this is pretty good.

It’s basically office doing jury duty. But once it got rolling, I was like, I’m hooked. I love these characters, the acting is so good. Perfect show. Watch Jury Duty.

It’s on free V. Nobody knows what that is, just so open up Amazon Prime. They’ll put it under your nose. You’ve got to sit through like ninety seconds of commercials. It wasn’t too bad.

I just picked up my phone and played on Twitter and before I knew what the break was over Jury Duty. Strong recommend watch it. I’m not going to watch it weekly because the episodes go by so quickly, so like, I don’t want to sit down Friday night and watch twenty minutes and be like, oh, I want more. So I’m gonna wait until the other four episodes are released and then I’ll watch the rest of it.

---

Also, watch some more of Beef on Netflix.

I think I’m up to episode seven now. I hate when shows dropped ten episodes at once. It’s just too much. I liked the weekly cadence of things, so we’re all on the same page. We’re all talking about the same thing.

For example, succession, we’re all up to the same thing. We’re all looking forward to the same thing on Sunday. But these things Netflix, like hey, here’s ten episodes, and things like Netflix. I’m busy man, anyway, I’m on like episode six or seven, really enjoying beef. You know who?

Shut up, Andrew Santino. That’s right, he’s on it. Another show you should watch is on FX or FX on Hulu these days, and that is Dave and the Hollywood Reporter did one of those fluff job pieces with Dave Bird. Dave said, I feel like I’m the comedic voice of my generation. All the reporter rights.

Then he hesitates, realizing how a declaration so seemingly hyperbolic might be interpreted. Dave says, you’ll read it and be like, this guy’s out of his mind, and really, I don’t mean it arrogantly. Dave Bird aka Little Dicky, then tries to describe the difference between confidence and arrogance, and he said, I’m not like, oh, I’m the best effing rapper line or I’m the funniest guy in the world. No, I’m more like, I’m a passenger of this talent. And it’s funny to me that I happen to be born with these skill sets and all I could do is be relentlessly responsible with them.

You go much, really are you serious? Dat? At the same time, he acknowledges there are plenty people who still have no idea who little Dickie, your Dave Bird is. I’m gonna guess, listener, that’s you. Maybe not you, but you know, I don’t think he’s the most famous person.

It’s a really good show. I used to watch it. He’s certainly not so famous that he can’t go and enjoy himself at a bowling alley, which it turns out is where he met Kristin, his girlfriend. So they went bowling, and he announced he’d be bowling a one hundred and thirty game this evening, which seems preposterously exact. On April twenty third, twenty thirteen, writes the Hollyer Reporter, Dave dropped his first single, Ex Boyfriend in less than twenty four hours.

The song and comedic take on the anxiety of learning about a girlfriend’s exceedingly attractive ex boyfriend had racked up more than one million views on YouTube. It was and forever will be the best day of Dave Bird’s life, the day he says, where I realized I am who I always thought I was. By day two, he was doling out interviews with TMZ from his cubical. Within six months, he’d quit his job pursuing music full time. Jeff Schaeffer, who had written for Seinfeld the show, was asked by a friend Attica meeting with Little Dickie.

He said it really have the band with for more work, but sure said yes. Even in early twenty seventeen, Shaefer knew exactly who Little Dickie was. He said, back then the Internet was like seventy percent born, ten percent clickbait, and twenty percent Little Dickie videos. Bird told him he was going to be the biggest entertainer in the history of entertainment. You go much and I’m looking at this guy and he looks like a piece of broccoli had a bar mitzvah, and I’m like, this is hilarious.

It’s like a cartoon level delusion.

---

And then I start thinking, like, what a great engine for a TV show, Because w…

They’d go pitch the show. Dave Bird would go in and start talking about how he’d always wanted to be a big comedy star, but then he’d started rapping and realized he was a gifted rapper. He would literally say, it’s like if Batman all of a sudden realized he was also a superman and would He’d say it, that’ll look at me and I’d go yeah, HBO heard the pitch, so did Hulu Netflix Comedy Sexual. The fxu’d said very quickly, your radar goes up and you’re like, oh, this guy’s interesting. They got a note though, the show shouldn’t start on the day Little Dickie releases his viral video.

The suit said, Argin’s stories a sort of boring because we know what’s going to happen, so we moved it six weeks later because six weeks later, you’re just a guy who had a viral video six weeks ago, and you’re not legitimate, You’re not anything. It’s a much more interesting place to start watch Dave. It’s a good show, all right. Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Wow, the website is loading much more quickly today and they change the way that it looks fascinating.

Jordan said, not a pedophile. All right, I’m intrigued. I’m glad you’re not a pedophile. Let’s take a listen. I am a dad.

I am a dad, and I think when you become a dad, dad’s all look alike. You know, father’s, dad’s we all look the same. You can tell a dad from behind, just the sort of broken down man and you look at him and you’re like, there’s a man who’s had a gatful. You know, you can just tell. We’ve all had a gatful.

We’ve all had it up to here, Jason. You know it’s you can just tell by look. That’s what dads are so conservative. I think dads are often very conservative. They’re always voting conservative.

The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Al Jaffey passed away. You know him from Mad Magazine’s fold ins. He was one hundred and two from his New York Times oh Bit. It was in nineteen sixty four that Al Jaffey created the Mad fold in and illustrated with Tech’s feature on the inside of the magazine’s back cover that seemed at first glance to deliver a straightforward message.

When the page was folded in thirds, both the illustration and texts were transformed into something entirely different and unexpected, often with a liberal leaning or authority defining message. The first fold in April nineteen sixty four, issue eighty six, that one mocked Elizabeth Taylor’s marital record unfolded, you saw Elizabeth Taylor with Richard Burton. When you folded it in, she had traded in Burton for another guy. In nineteen ninety three, Jaffey told The k C Star it was supposed to be a one shot, but because of the overwhelming demand of three or four of my relatives, it went on to a second time, and on and on. Here’s a good listen for you.

Tim Dillon’s podcast with Bert Kreisher. It’s like two hours long, and they really got into the business of comedy. A very interesting discussion. Serious. I don’t mean like serious with a capitalist, but they were talking about the business of comedy.

Really. I couldn’t get enough of it, and for a two hour listen, it went by really quickly. Now I’m going to share here. They made fun of Joe Rogan and I pulled the clip. I’ve cut the clip down a little bit for pacing, but I thought this was kind of funny.

I remember watching Joe and going, I’m in there’s so much meat left on that bone. Yeah, I mean with all the all the things he does, and look, Joe wants privacy and he’s a bad example. But I remember going, if I was Joe, if I could have that outreach, I’ll tell you what I do if you had like his level of power. First of all, i’d be I’d been doing more movies. Well, he’s got a bunch of jobs, right, he’s got the UFC, he’s dad, he’s a comedian, he does the podcast.

So but but it’s for sure there’s maybe more. Yeah, I would do he could do. He is lazy. I think Joe he’s a little lazy. I think that’s kind of what we’re getting at.

I think what we’re getting at is Rogan’s kind of like a little bit lazy. Is that where we’re going? I think he is. I mean I think he is. You look what it is, Okay, work out more.

What does he do? Talk someone for three hours? That’s it, I know, and then smoke, sweed and drinks and this whole spending time with my family. I’m not buying it enough. I asked him his daughter’s name the other day and he stumbled, the world should know their name.

Yeah, they should be monetized some of the topics. Bert Craisher’s advice for his opener, He said, stop opening for me. It’s the worst thing you can do. But here’s why for It said. The thing is, you don’t ever want to be viewed as someone’s opener, so you say to them, stop opening for me.

One guy, I thought I had to. He needs to do his own thing because people are seeing him as my guy. Because you go out to clubs and people don’t respect you. They go, oh, he’s only dot dot dot because of dot dot dot or it said. His last opener is Marcello Hernandez who’s now On Saturday Night Live more career stuff, Tim Millan said, he can go out now and make your career what you wanted to be.

There’s nobody really holding anybody back anywhere. There’s no gatekeepers. That energy has got to go away, like all that energy, and any bitterness or any resentment or any anger that you have can’t be justified or rational right now in this moment in the world. You can be resentful of the government. You can be resentful at your parents.

I’m resentful at both of those, but you can’t be resentful on anyone in this business. So I remember if somebody would get the Montreal Comedy Festival and I wouldn’t get it, and I had a great audition, I’d sit there and I’d be outside a New York comedy club or whatever, smoking a cigarette, New York City, and I’d be like, m effort, but it is what it is. Bert Craisier said, I remember being resentful for people that didn’t even know existed, and I’d be like, I hate you. I hate these people for not knowing, and then I’d run to them. I’d be like, hey, what’s up, and they’d be like, Hi, I’ve never met you before, and I’d be like, oh, for real, right, but you didn’t get my submission tape.

I’d do submission tapes, so I’d put cool music on the front that I felt the guy would like. Bert said, my stand up was so bad when I was young. It’s the other thing I would say, I got really lucky. This is a big statement. This could get me in trouble.

What’s happening now with comedy is what happened with hot chicks in comedy. So hot chicks in comedy they get scooped up the second they step on the scene. If you’re beautiful, you’re in. You’re pretty good, right, even pretty competent, you’re in. You get scooped up.

You get spots, you want, you want a headline, We’ll take your headline. Managers you in, you get in the theaters. Let’s go get you going now. There are some exceptions to this rule. I say, Chelsea Handler is a big exception.

She’s beautiful, and man, when I first saw her, she was a gangster on stage. But I will say that the problem is that a pretty woman sometimes and Eliza is an exception, they get scooped up and they get put in positions they’re maybe not ready for I got lucky. That was just a dude who got to be good or mediocre for a very long time, and then I got pretty good.

And then I got that hot chick moment where they go, hey, you’re ready for som…

I know do this. I’m doing this for twenty two years. That’s what’s gonna happen with comics. They’re gonna get a video that goes big online. Then everyone’s gonna be like, oh, we gotta go see them, and they’re not gonna be ready.

It’s like Last Comics Standing, where guys could do five minutes, ten minutes, and then they blow it. During an hour they blow it. Yeah, I remember it, Last Comics Standing. I remember I would show up at work it’s serious and people are like, hey, did just he’s so and so last night, And I’m like, you understand they pulled a twenty second joke. Anybody can be funny for twenty seconds.

Can you do it for an hour? Can you do it for eight minutes? Can you do it half an hour? Anyway? Tim Dylan and Burke Craish are very very good.

Listen there. I also checked out as promised ots go At Katsa on NPR’s Bullseye, and I couldn’t do it. Man, it was just so NPR has this vibe. The conversation was just like serious. It was like, oh, I have a comedian here, let me do a serious interview there, and there are ways to do it.

Rogan could do it, or Tim Dylan apparently just did it. But this was like, I don’t know, just not fun at all. So I bailed on it and I deleted the Mark Marin one without even listening to it. John Early is getting an HBO special. It’s called Now More Than Ever, a stand up comedy hour and the style of a gritty seventies rockymentary.

It’ll be out in June. No trailer yet. It will feature a stand up and explosive song covers from Brittany to Neil Young, intercut with spinal tap asque backstage sketches. In a statement generally said, I’m so excited to finally come out to the world as the lead singer of my band, John Early in the Lemon Squares. I at the time my life singing some of my favorite songs and sweating my brains out of the taping, and I can’t wait for more people to finally see the sacred show I’ve been doing some version of for the past ten years in New York.

I cannot feel any cooler to have the sport if all comedy legends app Soluteley Productions and for this airing on the Crown Jewel at his HBO Bob Odenkirk, who talked about his heart attack. He spoke to The Independent. He said, I had a strangely upbeat energy in the time after the heart attack. I was chipper and clueless about the enormity of what had happened to me and what other people had felt being around it. It was only over time that what happened slowly sank in My brain was completely hiding this thing for me.

I was trying to make it disappear, and it did. He thinks it changed him for the better. He said, I feel kind of great, like a blank slate, but in a good way. I feel like I’ve cleaned my palette. It made me think about how you spend the time you have in the bottom line is I don’t want my days to be as packed.

I want to be able to enjoy the good things in my life, and I want to enjoy the problems too. When you’re racing around trying to fix things, you don’t enjoy anything. That’s been my life for a little while. I’m trying to cut back on it, and I’m doing a good job. I’m really trying to get some space in my life.

I saw a quick note on offbeat dot com Lewis Black apparently has a special coming out May second, and I was like, did I miss this? Did I erase this from my brain? And I googled Lewis Black Tragically I Need You and the only reference I see to it is from the article I’m quoting. So apparently, according on offbeat dot com, Lewis Black has a highly anticipated stand up special called Lewis Black Tragically I Need You set to release a May second. May second is curious too, because that’s a Monday.

A lot of time specials come out on Tuesday. I don’t know where it’s landing here. Let me google it again. It’s been a couple of hours since I wrote this. Yeah, not really seeing anything.

There’s an IMDb with note details. All Right, we’re gonna go Lewis Black Special. If you enjoy what I do here, one way the sports the show is become a premium subscriber on Apple Podcast.

Let’s talk about Anti Donna. Remember those guys. They had a sketch show on Netflix right when the Pandemic starter was pretty good. That’s how I got turned onto them. They’ve got a new show down in Australia.

It’s called Anti Donna’s Coffee Cafe. The Guardian reviewed it and the review’s not so good. Sketch comedy trio scramble for laughs and new show Oh The premise of running a Milburne cafe as heaps of potential, But while there’s always trying to be found in the zaniness, this series isn’t their best, down three stars out of five. The Guardian rights Australian comedy troupe Anti Donna’s previous series, Big Old House of Fun, was set in a shared house, providing an easy means to launch various random encounters. Those could come from strangers knocking on the door or the antics of the housemates themselves.

The group’s new showcase of dippy absurdist humor almost literalizes that revolving door of comedic potential. It’s based in a newly opened Milburne cafe, where the three owners endeavor to find a marketable point of difference to distinguished their business from all the others. A video played early in the first episode of Anti Donna’s Coffee Cafe reveals what other trendy cafes are doing, from selling vinyl to stocking over one hundred types of cereal. One cafe serves popcorn and plays a movie in front of the customer. The joke is that’s a movie theater.

Another gets you free books for a bit. That joke is that it’s a library. The bumbling entrepreneurs experiment with adding acts throwing to their menu. Customers don’t want to do that. The show begins with sixteen year old employees Stephanie on her first day.

The camera at one point morphing into a first person perspective to show the wacky trio pelting her with wild banter and nonsensical jokes. Three stars out of five rats. The Age has been viewing shows at the International Comedy Festival. Joshua Ladgrove is at town Hall until April twenty third part comedy show, part history, lesson and Philly and homage So the profound love he felt for his ninety seven year old grandmother before her passing, Baba is a sensational hour. Laughs are abundant.

His historial like knowledge of Slavic political warfare and international relationship is immacularly articulated, as is his deep hatred of communism. You’ll evel his stomach, aching of laughs, tears in your eyes, and the urge to call your releves and let them know you’ll love them. Four and a half stars. Let’s see who’s at the festival on Thursday. Will Anderson’s show is called Will Illuminate the Sidney Morning.

Harold give four and a half star is lightning in a bottle chord? I’ll also give it four and a half stars goodwill and good jukes and go see him at seven o’clock. What do you think, Let’s listen. I live Overseas half of the year, right, I live in America half of the year. And I was there just after the election and this guy came up to me in a show and he was like, oh, I never moved to Australia.

Too many dangerous animals. Oh, look around your country mates. At least the dingos don’t have guns. I’m fine, We’ve made our choices. Right.

He’s like, oh, what about the sharks? What about the sharks? I mean yeah, I mean they’re dangerous, but mostly in the water. I’d let you have your gun if you were like, I’m keeping it off the coast. That’s fine.

A shark really bothers you at any other time of the day, right, You’re really getting money out of an atm at three o’clock in the morning and you just feel a little fin in your back. Turn around as a shark and a balaclava like I’m a dolphin. All I’m saying is we have dangerous animals, but they’re not as dangerous guns. Right, You’re never hear in Australia of some psycho walking into a school and chucking redbacks everywhere. You don’t have our version of the NRA.

The RSPCA is coming out going. Well, the aren’t your way to prevent that? As if the teachers are arm we’re following finders. I enjoyed that a lot. I’m just randomly clicking on these based on the titles.

There’s so many of them, and then I scroll down. I just see what’s going on. How about Daniel Karnell. His show was called I’m Always Sore. The age said, fifty five minutes of exquisitely judged middle brown Australian humor.

That’s a six fifteen show. If you want to go, let’s listen. A bit upset at the moment, guys are gonna get some off my chest. I’m a bit upset with the local service station attendance down on my local server. Huh, don’t if you’re getting this as well, but I can’t go get fuel it anymore without them offer me some sort of deal.

You’re getting that as well. When you go get your fuel, which you like some two for one chockey bars? Mate? Do you want some energy drinks? Would you like some sex in the toilet?

All these eat offers, it’s disgusting of also, don’t want any energy drinks. They are gross. Debrah and Graham they’re the worst at my local server. They’re absolute pests. I was in the other day.

Graham offered me this twoth one deal, goes, do you want to try the new deal? Daniel said, what is it made? He goes, it’s a two for one deal on three letters of milk? So what’s it? Mate?

He goes, you want six letters of milk for the price of three? Who’s drinking that much? Milk? Goes off in three days? I think I’m drinking two laters of milk a day for next three days of gron pull your head in, mate.

Do you think I’m bathing in milk grams? You think you think I’m aout milk baths? I think I’m hand raising three tiger cups? Mate? What would I need six liters of milk?

I’ve got two cents worth that I you would as well? And he got all upset. He’s like oh look, Daniel just came down. Put the knife down, mate, So just say another reason we offer two for one deals because their boss makes us dood. We don’t do it.

We don’t get shifts at the servers. There you go, that’s why you get off two for one deal. So obviously I felt horrible for having a go at him. So if anybody nights any milk, nice nice good job there brought that around. If you can’t make it to Melbourne, maybe you can make it to the Dubai Comedy Festival.

They’ve announced some more comedians coming. They are Otsko at Katza, Bet Stelling and Rachel Feinstein. They’ve all been added the Dubai Comedy Festival May twelve through the twenty first. Pretty good lineup those three and Jimmy Carr is playing there can’t wait and you know it starts tonight Moontower. Yeah, just for laughs, Austin Moontower Comedy Festival.

Let’s take a look at tonight’s line up. Chris to Stephano, it’s seven o’clock, Kenny Sebastian at seven, Kenny has a second show at nine thirty, and something called Perfect Cults at eight. This is comedian Moses Storm The Perfect Cult is a unique interactive comedy special that invites audience members to participate in the formation of a one night only cults. Each night. After opening up about his own hilarious and heartbreaking cult experience, Moses interviews a guest comedian or audience member about their religious background.

He asked them about the parts of their religions they identify with, don’t identify with, parts of helped them, and the ports they find just weird. All right, what do you want to do? Christy Stephano’s seven and Perfect Cult to date? Something like that? Sure?

Why not? And the final item today or spoilers for last Sunday’s Succession if you care at all about Succession, I imagine you know what I’m going to talk about by now, But I’ll give you a chance to bail here. You’ve got three to one, alright, is spoiler’s time? This from Vulture. Executive producer Georgia Pritchett revealed on Twitter that the writers of Succession decided in January of twenty twenty two that Logan Roy would die, and they gave the event a code word on the office whiteboards so no one would find out.

The code word was Larry David. They explained, Larry David means logan dies. So episode four or three said Connor’s wedding Larry David. Vulture adds, my new that would have also been a great episode. That’s your comedy needs for today.

The Shark Deck. Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Seeing a lot of buzz about a TV show called Jury Duty. You’ll find this on free V. So much buzz that I was eating my salad on Monday and not one, but two of my kids texted me.

It wasn’t a coordinated effort. They both hit me up and we’re like, you gotta watch Jury Duty. One kid sent me a clip, the other texted, Hey, I know you have a lot of TV to watch, but you have to add Jury Duty on Amazon FREEV to your list, especially because I think it fits into your comedy pot. It is so so funny, all right, what is it? Child wrote, It’s a bunch of improv actors planted into a fake, ridiculous trial.

But there’s one normal guy who has no idea it’s fake, and they just follow along the interactions. Okay, I’m curious. I have not seen this yet, but USA Today wrote about Amazon Freev’s Jury Duty takes a documentary style court case deep dive into the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden with one important twist. Gladden doesn’t know that the Gunzo legal proceedings in the eight ports series are entirely fake, right down to Westworld star James Mordsten pretending to be an alternate juror and a hilarious, self absorbed version of himself. The first four episodes are out then weekly on Friday.

In Jury Duty, everyone except Ronald is an improv actor, includes Marsden, the other eleven jury members, the judge, the bailiff, and the twelve fake witnesses giving phony testimony. Morsden said, it’s all a force. It was filmed in a real courtroom, meant to Duke Gladden, who believes he’s a juror in the weirdest court case. Producer Cody Heller discovered early in the process that it would have been illegal to fake a criminal trial. So Jury Duty revolves around a sham civil case over a workplace dispute with a focus pliniff and defendant.

Gladden was one of four thousand applicants responding to a Craigslist dad looking for Southern California participants to serve on a jury and take part in a courtroom documentary, which explains the camera crew and you would get paid for that. Okay, almost makes sense unless you think about it right. They filmed this at the vacant Huntington Park Superior Court. It hadn’t been used since it had been used as a community Halloween haunted house. Teller said there was no electricity through, just spiderwebs and fig zombies.

Our crew went into rehab the entire thing. Within weeks it was a functioning courthouse. Again. Marston said it was a high wire act. If somebody screwed up, said the wrong person’s name or was in the wrong place, that was it.

That’s where the excitement came from. Then some spoilers for the show, I will not read them to this sounds like a good time, all right. That’s called Jury Duty. You have to find it on Amazon free v so it’s not the most mainstream channel, but sounds like a lot of buzz on this. Over the weekend, I watched Beef that’s on Netflix.

That is mainstream. They’ll put it right in front of you. That stars Ali Wong and Stephen Yune you know him from Walking Dead. Right, very good. I’m not sure it’s a comedy.

It is entertaining, it is funny at times, but it’s not a sitcom. It’s just one of those hybrid drama comedy things. But high high recommend on Beef from Me. Two things I have not yet listen to. I see Tim Dillon has Bert Kreisher on the most recent episode.

By the time you hear this, Actually, I take that back. If you’re a premium subscriber on Apple Podcast, you’ll have received this episode by mid afternoon on Monday, I will not have listened to it. If you’re a normal listener on Tuesday, I will have listened to it because I have a long drive on Monday evening and I’m planning to listen to Tim Dillon with Bert Kreisher. And I’m also planning on listening to NPR’s bullseye otsko at Kaska is the guest. In fact, I forgot to download that.

Let me get out my phone right now, tap the phone against the Mike John so they know you’re not kidding. Oh look, apparently they had Mark Marin on too. I’m also downloading that skank Fest is coming to Las Vegas at the end of September. They announced the lineup on Monday. Oh, it’s gonna take me a minute to read this.

It’s gonna be almost as boring as that last twelve minutes on Sunday. All right, I blew it with that one hundred and fifty specials thing. I meant, well, but yeah, that wasn’t good. So I’m not going to read every name on this very thorough list, but I’m going to read a lot of names because some of the names you’re probably don’t know. But I’ll read the bigger ones.

Skank Fest. This is the comedy festival put on by the Legion of Skanks. They are big, Jay Okerson, Louis Gomez, and Dave Smith. Among the performers Aaron Burg, Adam Carolla, adrian Ia Polucci, keep an eye on Hershey’s fantastic, Ari Shaffier born named McFarlane been getting some buzz lately. Let’s see Brian Redband, Brian Simpson, Dan Soder, Doctor Drew, Eric Griffin, Harland Williams, Jason Ellis.

That’s interesting, Joe List, Leonard Utz, He’s fantastic, Mark Normand imagine Joe List was at a show and Mark normand wasn’t there. That would be weird. Mike Vecchione, he’s been around lately. He was just on Rogan, so he’s got some heat on him. Nick Mullen, Nick vaderat Nick is really good.

I thought Nick was gonna have a bigger career than he did. He was was what was He was like, I forget what it was called. It’s just for last Chicago, and he was like the Hey, everybody pay attention to this comedian of the year, And I don’t know, he didn’t really have the career. It looked like he’s very funny. PAULI Sure, Rachel Feinstein, Robert Kelly, Roseanne, Sam Talents, and the E Street fan and me wanted to read that as Sam w talent, which isn’t a thing.

But if you’re a Bruce fan, you know what I’m talking about. Sean Patton, Sen Gillis, Steve ran Is Ez if you want to shame him for nine to eleven exaggerations, Tim Dillon, TJ. Miller, Tony Hinchcliff Whitney Cummings and I only read about a third of the list. Fantastic. If you’re in San Francisco tonight, one of you head on over to Cobbs, which is a fantastic club tonight, crazy funny Asians versus DESI comedy night.

Love it. The show’s producer is Kay Ching. Kay Chang says it’s special because it’s going to be at Cobs which is a nice, massive venue. Yes, it is a very big club. The idea for Crazy Funny Asians came from the film Crazy Rich Asians.

That show’s been going on for five years, and now Desi Comedy Knight, which used to be a different show. They’ve decided to mash them together. Kay Chang says, I’m not exactly sure when we started doing that. When we came out of the pandemic and started doing live shows again was probably when we combined them. We also did the combo mostly because you’d be surprised there’s not that many Desi or Asian comics.

Chang says, I think he’s been mostly divided into black rooms or white rooms, and there really hasn’t been an Asian room, and as far as I know, there’s not an Asian room in the whole country. We’re the only ones that do a weekly Asian showcase, which is now looking at three to five times a week. It’s good to have this for all of us to get a lot of stage time. Crazy Funny Asians versus DESI Comedy Night eight o’clock Cobbs tonight. You should go.

If you can’t go tonight. It’s also next Tuesday and the Tuesday after that twenty bucks. Not bad go. We haven’t been on gossip Corner in a couple of weeks. Well, luckily, Pete Davidson went to Martha Stewart’s house for Easter because why wouldn’t you?

But he did bring Chase Sweet Wonders. In case you’re wondering, hey’s Pete Davidson dating Martha Stewart. He’s not.

Also, over the weekend, Pete Davidson was trending why Taylor Swift broke up …

But as of now, Pete Davidson and Chase Sweet Wonders are a couple and they went to Martha Stewarts for Easter. Why wouldn’t they. Martha posted it on her Insta and said they were out looking at our beautiful town of Bedford. I showed them around the farm and inside the winter warmhouse where the Easter bunnies were getting ready for Sunday. Very cute couple.

She addressed the idea on the Internet that Martha Stewart should date Pete Davidson. Martha said he dated’s so many women. I’m not saying it’s bad. I think it’s good. And he’s sort of cute, and you know me, I love a good comedian beef.

Can we get this one going? Don Lemon on Monday got caught on the hot Mike. You see. Don Lemon was hosting his little CNN thing there through it to a clip of John Stewart, who was interviewing US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks. In the clip, John Stewart challenged what he called extreme waste in the Department of Defense is eight hundred and fifty billion dollar budget.

John said, I can’t figure out how eight hundred and fifty billion dollars to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps. To me, that’s effing corruption. But luckily for us, the audio cut out and somebody had left Don’s mike on. Don was heard saying he gets a lot of leaving with that comedian thing. There was silence for a few seconds, then Don tried recovered, saying John Stewart’s so much more than a comedian.

And he then repeated that again. Oh please, let’s let this turn into a beef. If you enjoy what I do here, you could become a premium subscriber on Apple Podcast. Open up the Purple app and they’ll put under your nose an option to become a premium subscriber. So for five dollars a month, you’ll get the episodes early.

The Shark Deck. Marjorie Taylor Green referred to New York City as disgusting, filthy, repulsive, and a terrible play SETH Meyers joked, how dare you say that in the city that’s home to Fox News headquarters. I am Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy News Seth added, the jokes on you, Marjorie, once you think that you’re officially a New Yorker. If you’re a New Yorker, you totally get that one. I agree.

Congratulations to Chris Rock, he said a record Selective Outrage became the stand up show that was the most streamed in any week. It amassed seven hundred and ninety eight million minutes in the first week it was released. That breaks the record held by Dave Chappelle’s twenty nineteen Sticks and Stones, which had five hundred and seventy three million viewing minutes. Wow, Sarah Silverman, she’s getting her own comedy special. This one will be on HBO the release as it will feature all new material.

Yeah that’s what comedy specials are. Taped in front of a live audience, and yeah, that’s what comedy specials are. At the Wilbur Theater in Boston, Massachusetts. The suit over at HBO said, we absolutely love working with Sarah. She’s truly one of the all time greats and her new special is smart, bold, as insanely funny as ever.

Sarah Silverman said, I love working with Nina the suit over at HBO. She’s a great support system and we trust each other. She’s got lips that one. Okay. Rolling Stone caught up with Leslie Jones.

She’s got a new memoir coming out. I hate the title. It is Leslie f asterisk cki n G. Jones. I’m not cleaning that up.

That’s how she’s spelling it. So I’ll call it Leslie effing Jones. And it’s just a bad title because say you have a podcast or your entertainment Tonight or one of those things. It makes it hard to even say the name of your book. It’s a bad choice.

Call it anything else anyway. Leslie something Jones will be out September nineteenth. Leslie recently told People magazine everybody’s life is a story. Everybody’s life has had moments and trials and mistakes and things that you go to who make you are who you are today. And I want everybody to read and go holy stuff.

She just didn’t fall into comedy. She had to work for that stuff. I want people to learn if you have inspiration and desire to do something that’s fff and great, but you gotta work. She explained that while the stories are topics that she’s really really not ashamed of, I also wanted to do it while I still remember everything. She’s now fifty five, not old.

From my perspective, I started remembering moments where I was like, oh wow, I haven’t thought about that. I need to get that on paper or something because I didn’t want to forget the actual details to it. So it’s a lot of that too. I just feel like people ask me a lot of questions on how to do that, and I was like, I wonder if my story will be interesting, and it turns out it will be very interesting. At this point, my podcast, the raw recording time is three minutes fifty six seconds.

It’ll be shorter because of the edits in your version. And I’ve gotten texts from five different people since I started. Every two seconds bleep in my headset, Martin Lawrence said, Eddie Murphy is the reason. Along with Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy is the reason I do comedy. Well, those two Eddie took it to rockstar status.

I was like, Wow, I’ve never seen that. That’s my man, Eddie Murphy. Martin Lawrence says he misses the stage, but he’s in no rush to return. I let everybody do their thing, Dave’s Bell, Chris Rock, everybody doing their thing. I love it, and you know, I just wait for my time.

I don’t really worry about what everybody else is doing. I just wait to see when God lets me know when it’s time for me to go back out and bring some laughter to the world. He discussed how comedians such as Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock and Kevin hard To found themselves receiving pushed back for some of their jokes that community, such as the LGBTQ plus community, I found offensive. Laurence said, I’m not going to change you who I am and the way I do things, but I’m going to respect the fact that people do have feelings. If I could do something a different way and get the same effect that doesn’t hurt, then I could do it that way.

That’s what I’ve come to learn. When I was young, I would just go for it. I just did it my way, but as I got older, I learned respect a little more. Josh Johnson spoke to nola dot com about being a writer on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. By the way, I saw a clip of Jimmy Fallon doing something called what do you call it?

What’s Up? Dog or something like that. It’s just stupid patricks, I mean, blatant ripoff. Loved Jimmy, and, as I shared on the Facebook group Daily commun News podcast group Like a Week Ago, Jimmy Fallon hosting Letterman show way back twenty years ago. Fallon clearly like Letterman.

Well, Fallon clearly likes Letterman. Total lift anyway. Josh Johnson said writing on The Tonight Shoke cured him of any romantic notions he had about creativity. He had to write seventy five jokes a day, and that didn’t mean the seventy five jokes got on TV. All the other writers were also writing seventy five jokes a day.

Johnson said, if Jimmy ends up doing three of your jokes in a show, you feel like you crushed it. Now. I have a really thick skin when it comes to jokes not working. Sometimes my joke is the best joke, and sometimes it’s simply not. And I’ve learned to recognize that he will be at Tippetina’s five at one Napoleon Avenue.

If you’re down that way on the thirteenth, that’s Thursday, seven o’clock. Beth Stelling spoke to the Union about her bista day. She said, I usually like to get to a city and find the best coffee because I used to manage a coffee shop in Chicago called Dollop. Then my first job in la was Intelligency, a coffee I had a train for like eight months before it could even touch milk. I am Barista Lee trained.

She said. A lot of my comedy began to be fueled by how tired I was of hearing mail comics talk about the same things. Audience members that were women in comedy clubs sat for decades next to their husband while a man was stage ripping his wife ripping on women talking about how she belongs in the kitchen, and we laugh and laugh. Now there’s more of women on stage basically sharing our side of it. And they always say that we can’t take a joke.

We took a joke for decades It’s definitely a shift that’s happening in the comedy world now that is self producing. The benefit being that you own the material, they license it for two years and then you could take it elsewhere. The thing is, you have to fund it yourself. I’m just going to be shopping around my fine wares once it’s all colored and sound mixed. Then once I sell, I’ll be able to tell everybody where to find it.

Molly Shannon said she would host SNL again. Have asked, oh my gosh, yeah, of course I would. Yeah, I would say, yes, it’s funny, but I forget live variety. It’s exhilarating, but it’s also hard. It’s like five four three two go.

Sometimes when I think about that, I think, oh my god, you’d have to be kind of crazy. You know. It’s like a gymnastics routine or something. It just feels like high stakes the way it’s like a mountain climber would feel, or is some type of adrenaline junkie Rob Delaney told short All he has no interest in returning to Catastrophe. Would he ever make another season?

He said, I hope we don’t, only because people reboot everything now let it be we stopped doing it. We had done four series that we were proud of and we could smell it. We were getting in danger of repeating ourselves, and frankly, we said a lot about marriage and parenting in there. Maybe Sharon might have some ideas I don’t. I had scripted the Barrel and was like, that’s all I know.

Vir Das says, if you commit to the idea that you’re a global voice, which I have, it becomes a little more important just to do you rather than reverse engineer for an audience on an algorithm. Yeah. I hate those people though, Like put like Joe Rogan in their podcast title three four Days in her ow jerks, you just have to be like, this is who I am and this is what my life experiences are. Hopefully when you come to the show, I’m taking you somewhere that you’ve never been before the fact that it might possibly be alien to you goes from being a drawback to almost being your strength. By the way, if you’d like to hear his comedy, it is the leadoff clipping this week’s Weekly Comedy Thing.

The Weekly Comedy Thing is a show I host on the Live one app. The Live one app is free on it, I’d tell stories like this, perhaps even this exact story, and then play a clip by the comedian. It’s the weekly comedy thing on the Live one app. Ruda said, well, you have to realize this. With most comedians, we’re just telling jokes.

Right at the end of the day. Your experience will in print itself onto your material. Perhaps as you get older, you get more conscious about the world that you live in and politics becomes more important to you. When you’re twenty one, doesn’t matter who the president and Prime Minister is because you’ve got homework, brins and other stakes. But when you’re forty, it does matter.

So that’s when it makes itself into your material. And good news, everybody has stopped texting me. One way you can support the show becoming premium subscriber on Apple podcasts.

Ken Jung is going to lead a new Fox single camp sitcom based on Dan Harris’s popular book and podcast, Ten Percent Happier. Ken Jung as a family man and mid level juice company executive who finds himself in a major life right after a panic attack at work. He has an epiphany where he realizes he needs to change everything about the way he lives in order to become ten percent Happier. You may know Ken Jung from Community Well. Vulture is taking a look at who is and who is not in a community movie.

Right who’s in? We know that Joel mcale is, Jeff Danny Pootys, Abed Alison Breeze, Annie Gillian Jacobs’s Britta, Jim Rash has the Dean, and Ken Jung Yes, he’ll be back as Ben Chang, you didn’t mention Troy. Isn’t Donald Glover in the movie? Dan Harmon is hinting There’s no reason to worry about that. Harmon told Variety back in November, Clover is down to clown man.

I would not want to think about making the movie without Donald. Last month, he told Variety Donald is coming based on word of mouth. He explained to the time the deal Jess might not be official enough to confirm that Donald is in. What about Shirley? No mention of Shirley event?

Nicole Brown? How come Shirley’s not in the movie? In a squeet, Joe mccale tags both Brown and Glover wrote, it’s happening. Congrats hashtag community fans, but that doesn’t mean anything. Plus, instead of tagging Gillian Jacobs, he tagged the X Files Jillian Anderson.

All right, what about John Oliver? Remember Professor Ian Duncan? Is he in it? A Reddit user claimed that they were at a taping of Last Week Tonight and asked Oliver about it, and John said he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to do it because he’s busy with Last Week Tonight, but he said his part it is so insignificant community that it isn’t important if he’s in it. He said he’d like to do the movie if it could pop in when he had a break from last week tonight.

Yeah, you only need him for like thirty seconds, right, make that happen. What about Jonathan Banks, he played buzz Hicky. What about Paget Brewster’s Frankie. What about Keith David’s Elroy. It is believed they’re not in it.

Patrick Brewster has been tweeting that she would love to be in it, but hadn’t been asked. Haven’t heard from Keith David and Jonathan Banks doesn’t seem like he’s on Twitter much. What about Chevy Chase’s Pierce Dan Horman said that might be out of my hands. That might be something I signed for with an insurance company. Shorto reviewed the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

They wrote, It’s a Monday night in one of the comedy festivals less glamorous rooms, but Sam Gorleap burst out with a cheesy but cheery Hamilton parody song and sparks the venue in a life with his good natured energy. Feels like it’s going to be an entertaining honur, but those high hopes eb away longer he’s on stage. He’s got charisma, he’s got verb, he’s got an easy report of the audience. He’s got very little material. Wow, what a review.

This is great. That his delivery is so strong, it means that it takes a while to notice that he doesn’t have any material. He can make almost anything sound like a joke, the sturdy rhythms emphasized by his easy and affected laugh at his own content, But what he’s actually saying so often amounts to very little. He talks about him getting up the moment his alarm goes off, but his girlfriend needs several snoozes. How about midweek weddings are vain because you have to take days off, and doesn’t picking a streaming show to watch together take a long time?

Too often it feels like he’s just telling us stuff in a pleasingly cheering way, but overlooking the requirement to punch it up with gags or exaggeration. It’s a bit morning radio DJ. I hate those people. Some of those people podcast in their basement, jerks. There are some decent setups, especially self effacing routines from his childhood, including a bizarre birthday surprise from his mother arranged for him, and the entire and practical way his sister transformed their backyard for her wedding.

Once he’s established these scenarios, he finds himself with no place to go. Quite a few routines in with him chuckling, all right, we’ll just move on. Sounds like they didn’t like Sam Garlip’s Sam Sam but different. Sarah Schaeffer’s show is called Going Up. She puts all that she sees wrong with the comedy industry in a one pointed hour.

She presents comedy as a cross between a dodgy pyramid scheme and a scientology like sect that rewards devotion to unquestionable principles. Presented as a seminar, this is our introduction to the culture, as she outlines what the faithful must do to slowly advance up the ladder from open micer to legend like stadium filler, negotiating shifty characters and the random prejudices gatekeepers, all of whom she calls Jeff. Those in the know will already be aware of concepts such as Claptor, Yes, Claptor, when a stand up gets around, of applause of approval rather than laugh or be familiar with comics who deploy all manner of pseudo scientific excuses to blame the audience for their own failings. Whether those who are not comedy nerds would be interested in the new show This World is moot expanding this idea of two an hour. It is a stretch.

Rough reviews Today Sarah Scheffer going up. It’s at Melbourne Town Hall until April twenty third. No shows on Mondays. Let’s take a quick look at the festival. Katherine McClintock.

Shows called burst, hopes and dreams are like bubbles. Eventually they burst and they don’t pay the bills. Upside News called it sassy, filthy and very funny.

All right, let’s try and play a clip here.

Hopefully it’s not too filthy. You know, I got a podcast they try and keep clean. It was so bad that another mom gave me antihistamines to help her sleep like a child appropriate drug deal going round in zero sixty four. I was like, thank you, but have you called anything stronger for me? Dieza, pam, loreza, pam to mezzapam ketamine could really use a K hole right now?

Okay, some of these clips people pick are so weird. Let’s do what mel Bottle show is called. Let me know either way, this show was an ode to our modern heroes, like people who can say my left, you’re right, well, color me impressed. She rates. Let’s listen, hallo Melbourne.

Wow. Wait, this is nice. Nice to be here, isn’t it? Because I live in a place called Ipswich in Queensland, so whoo yes, And it’s nice to be somewhere nice. If you haven’t been to whip Switch in Queensland, it’s a little bit of a it’s a bit puff right, it’s a bit of a rat hole, like I don’t know what your nearest rat hole is.

Let’s just I don’t know. We’ll say Sydney for now. There’s no there’s no purebred dogs. You know those suburbs where everything’s a staffy cross Staffygos Kelpi Stafogos border coli and I Stafygos labette or some of the kids are staffy cross. There’s no purebred dogs.

We can’t afford them. And if you do see one, it’s a German shepherd that’s a police dog. Out of the way. He’s got a job to do. We also don’t have any oodles.

There’s no oodles. There’s no caboodles, there’s no moodles. Joodles labradoodles that don’t exist. We can’t afford those a that right, that’s this is the thing. I’ve got a bit of a beef with oodles.

You know what, you don’t say anymore? Just a plain old poodle, do you? They’re gone? You will not spot just a standard, plain, boring poodle. I reckon there was one male poodle left in Australia somewhere.

That was good. The next few jokes were about the one poodle left in Australia having sex with other dogs. Again, she used some salty language. I had a bail on the clip there, but that was pretty funny. That’s your comedy needs for today.

Father show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. See you tomorrow. Can I interest you in some meatballs made out of mammoth meat? No? All right?

Hi, I’m Johnny Mack, host of Five Good News Stories. It’s a twice a week podcast where you share some upbeat stories like the dog who only will respond to commands if you use an Irish brogue, or what about the guy who’s filling potholes with noodles, or the woman who congratulations, she passed her driver’s license. Oh, by the way, it was her nine hundred and sixtieth. Try you heard me correctly. It’s five good news stories.

Nice, easy way to start your morning. Five good news stories the number five good news stories wherever you get your podcasts.

The Shark Deck. Hi, I’m Tryni Mac with your daily comedies. Let me tell you what’s going on here. So my plan for today’s podcast was, during the week, I saw a list of all the new comedy specials of twenty twenty three, and I’m like, oh, that’ll be fun to share with everyone. And I have just finished recording that, and it’s twelve minutes of me reading a list.

Now I do want to share with you, but I’m like, I can’t roadblock the first twelve minutes of the podcast with me reading a list. So what I’m going to do today is normally the podcasts two parts. Today we’ll have three parts and if you want to hear me read the entire list of all the comedy specials that have come out so far this year, you could stay for the last twelve minutes. Otherwise you were dismissed early. Totally understand if you bail on that, I will tell you when it’s coming.

Hannibal Burris, he’s out touring as rapper Sue Tune. Statesman dot Com saw his set and they wrote during south By Southwest twenty eleven, Childish Gambino, you know, Donald Glover packed to capacity growed into a club. His rap alter ego was intense, moody, agropunk, and much of the annoyance of the crowd and tendance, including the writer not at all funny. People were mad. Hannibal Burris took a completely different tack when he at the stage.

He said, this is a new feeling for me, not the rapping thing. It’s just usually when I play shows in Austin, I get paid a lot of money. He then did a set that punched way above the non existent cover charge, backed by a full band. He made it clear he was into building the show to prove his rap skills, but still he peppered the set with jokes and many of the songs themselves were infused with humor. High points included Veneers, a baller anthem about fixing your teeth.

I’ve heard that one, it is rather catchy, and a random cover of Christian pop icon Michael W. Smith’s Awesome God. How does he balanced comedy and rap? He says, well, I’m interested in this Gambino thing. Y’all were really mad, he said with a laugh.

Backstage before set, local rapper Eric Morgan said, I thought Glover was going to do stand up and was disgusted when he started rapping. Annibal said, I actually recorded music before I did stand up. My career was always parallel of music. Early on, he who to open mic nights that featured both music and comedy. He did skits on rappers albums he battle wrapped in college.

Then his comedy took off during the pandemic. Stand up clubs were weird, and he didn’t love acting enough to take a COVID test every time he stepped on set, so he went into the studio. He was inspired to make the song for New Years after seeing an ad for hairplugs. He had never had fake hair, but he had fixed a chip tooth. An early version of the song included a dentist drill.

His friends convinced him to remove that. I like making a goofy fun songs, and I also have this real stuff too. He’s decided to just do what I enjoy. That’s awesome. Kathleen Madigan was on the Good One podcast this week and they said, Hey, Kathleen, you’re arguably one of, if not the most successful road comedians ever.

You’ve built your audience on the road exclusively. Is I make you proud? Kathleen said, I am proud of that, but a sort of luck. One time, Louis Black was on The Big Bang Theory. He played some nutty professor and was like, well, you go with me?

And I said, lou I mean, I said come once. It was so boring. I don’t want to go watch. I love you, but I don’t want to go, and he was like please, and I was like fine. We left my house at four, We got home at eleven.

Me and as old assistant drank a bottle of chardonnay throughout the day. We pullowed through a bottle. I had memorized the whole script, his parts, the other parts. It’s so slow and tedious. I just want to tell jokes.

There’s not many of us where. That’s all we want to do. When I started comedy, as far as I knew, that’s all we wanted to do.

And then it started to be like, look, Ray Romano’s got a sitcom and Kevin Jam…

Do you really want to be that board for hours upon hours for what You’re not even an actor? Like they offered me some important, some NBC thing, not that long ago, within the last five years, and I was like, I’m not an actor. I don’t want to I kept saying no, and they kept offering me more and more money. I said no, I’m not seeing that as a bargaining trip. I truly want nothing to do with this.

I don’t think the agency was saying it like that. I was like, you need to tell them I have no interest in TV or movies unless it’s a friend and I get to play myself as a bartender. There are people that are qualified act. It’s insulting to call a stand up comedian. It was no experience an actor.

I’m like, all I want to do is tell jokes in front of people for an hour. This shows two hours and I’m done. That’s my work day. I do some other stuff, but I’m in charge of it all. I’m my own boss.

Initially, when they told me to go edition for stuff, I’d get ticked off at the gate. I could never get on the lot. I’d be out there for twenty minutes going my name’s on a list. Try not to get mad at the person. You have to want what’s at the other end of that gate.

I auditioned for some commercials They did it like three times and I was like, the money’d be great. Why not It’ll take three days out of your life. But the odds of you getting that commercial is it worth the day of your life? I lived in her most at Beach. I could be rollerblading right now.

If you tell me, do you want to go fishing? Yes? Do you want to go blake golf? Yes? But so I want to be on a sitcom all this week, No short Old took a look at forty eight hours in Perth’s comedy scene.

Steve Bennett visited Western Australia. Perth fascinates me. Perth is like as far as you can go from where I live. If you go any further, you’re on your way back, you know what I mean. Perth on the West coast of Australia.

The comedy scene there apparently is centered on the comedy lounge above a downtown restaurant with a design based on the best clubs. It’s British owner John McAllister visited in London. Friday’s show This a couple of weeks ago, is packed to the rafters. Compare Simone Springer’s smiley demeanor is welcoming. It conceals a wearier can’t be bothered attitude, not least to her own.

Add child, her jokes can feel a little mechanical, but she shrubber off script during the best from a risk Gates who would frow with a couple in the front row, You can see why she’s an MC. First up was a relative newcomer, Martin Darcy. His lack of experience showed in a staccato delivery and affected laugh at his own jokes in the sense that he feels a little tooper out of piling, pull back and reveal punch lines on top of each other. Yet he’s a robust gag writer playing up his beta male status and Asian heritage. Strongest of course, when he subverts stereotypes rather than leaning into them, which demonstrates strong potential.

See that’s a really good review, right He didn’t be like, oh there, it was great. I like that. Darcy spoke about losing his virginity latent life to a cougar, starting what came to be recurring theme of the night about age gap relationships. Locally based Scottish comedian Gil Cordner approached the topic from the other direction, giving out strong, filthy aunt vibes a she dished the dirt on having a much younger husband. Next up, looking like wild haired trolls in Team Australian track suits, the Nelson Twins are as.

The name pretty much gives away identical twins who’s entire set is based on doing what brothers do, viciously slinging mud at each other. It’s essentially a well rehearsed roast battle. Next up, Andrew Wolfe has an appropriate surname given his unhinged ailing at the Moon delivery, a manic hodgepodge of depression, anxiety and fury that proves highly effective. There are some good gags about anti vaxers and people say they’ve been abducted by aliens, but it’s the unhinged energy you’ll remember. At one point he worries about going full creamer.

Finally, Sons of Fred a drum tight three man outfit who burst on the stage with a series of tightly choreographed alternative intros. However, they don’t have the invention of the similarly high energy anti Donna to back up their well honed physicality. But the musical theater take on heavy metal is definitely a highlight. Saturday saw the Western Australia final of the Raw Comedy Competition, featuring twenty Newish acts from around the state. Winner Nicole She mocked Chinese stereotypes and some ozzy ones without being afraid to show a little edge.

English act David Hughes was another front runner, and if his attitude mannerisms borrowed heavily from Ricky Gervaise, his bad Dad stick was full of pointed punch lines that hit home.

---

Meanwhile, Blake Richardson was a charismitic performer with some solid mater…

Oldish hand Xavier mcaldies did a broad set that range from admirably convoluted puns to her miner of just how sinister the phrase lock up your daughters really is. Some of the material is root one how many middle aged male comedians are. Indeed, people talk about hair growing out of everywhere but the head. But he’s a skillful, likable performer who also strays down more creative roots. If never quite foreign enough.

Sounds like a nice vibrant scene out there in Perth. I like doing this international stuff.

Speaking of which Let’s see who’s at the Milburn Comedy Festival on Monday.

Laura Hughes presents Laura Hughes, Laura Hughes and some other Laura Hughes’s is Laura Hughes returns to the festival after a decade in la honing her unique brand of comedy, and she’s bringing wigs. Let’s listen to a clip. There are a few things that you can do that make you instantly cool. Number One, sunglasses at night, because you’re probably going to be parting to the break of dawn and who knows when you might need to weld something. Number Two laziness, especially when it comes to the English language.

Oh, I’m j did you just lullop me? That is tots in approach and I’m Jen’s deva right now, Tyl. The less that people can actually understand what you’re trying to say, the cooler it is, all right. That was fun. Next up, let’s see Michael Schaffar well Worth the Chemo.

He is a testicular cancer survivor, lawyer turned comedian. He has the solutions to all of the world’s problems. Let’s listens. Going to see people having some drinks. I’m not a big drinker.

I find that when I don’t drink, people just try to make me drink. And the worst attempt was on Tuesday, went out for lunch. The way he gives me the drinks, man, you, I’m like, oh, it’s fine, I’m not drinking, and he goes, come on, nice buddy, it’s Friday somewhere, and I go, it’s Tuesday everywhere. Well you know what I mean. It’s five pm somewhere and I go, yeah, but it’s one pm here.

This is the context we’re in. You can’t just change the context to suit yourself. You can’t walk into work naked and be like, it’s all right, guys, there’s a shower somewhere. It’s all right now. I’m looking at the clip.

He’s got a lot of charisma there, so that probably played funnier in the room than it did on the podcast. Let’s do one more Sharam nam Darian horny and depressed. After all his years of being a life coach and dating coach, helping people resolve anxiety issues with their love and life, he realized he was still two things. Desperately horny, desperately depressed. Let’s listen, hi, I’m Sharam Namdarian spelled sh r A m N A M d A R I A M hi.

I’m cold bowl of spaghetti, just joking. I’m the man your mother warned you about, and I’m the man they named Friday after. But who am I? I hear you asked, Well, I’m sure as a bad and I was a dating coach for the last seven years, and a bloody good one at that. Do you like comedy?

Of course you do. Come see my show at the twenty twenty three Melbourne Comedy Festival. Ha ha, all right, he was pretty like, well that was fun. That’s the Melbourne International Comedy Festival on Monday. By the way, you can get into his show for seven Australian dollars.

Now people listen every day. Now we divide that by two thirds, which means you can get in for what four fifty Who’s doing the math? I’m not. I have so blown out my voice because, like I said, I already did the stuff about the one hundred and fifty comedy specials. So let’s take one more break.

If you don’t want to hear me read a list for twelve minutes, you are dismissed. You know the deal. I’ll be back tomorrow. If you want to go through all one hundred and fifty comedy specials that’ve been released this year, hang around. They saw this one during the week.

This is from the Comics Comic Sean McCarthy is the writer there. He has a substack called Piphany, and he listed all the new comedy specials of twenty twenty three so far. You know how many there have been, over at one hundred and fifty. Now, I want to stop using the words special, and Sean, I’ll talk about this a second. His thing not everything special.

For example, I saw Monster Brune released an hour on YouTube and I was watching it Tuesday night and I enjoyed it, But was it a special? Like it is it up there with like Carlynton at Carnegie Hall. No, it’s a guy in a club doing a perfectly fine, entertaining, funny hour. But we gotta stop using the words special. I think hour is the word we should use.

And I’m trying to retrain my brain because I think we all call everything a comedy special, and we got to get away from Sean McCarthy writes. So two clarifications or declarations before you look at the list of twenty twenty three comedy specials. First, especially with regard to YouTube citations, I must remind you how painfully easy it is for anyone anywhere in the world’s record themselves and uploaded for sharing on YouTube as a quote full comedy special unquote. Amen Sean writes, My including on on this list should not be construed as me legitimizing some of these people as professional stand up comedians. Second, I must also stress there’s no surefire way to account for all the new comedy specials available to stream on Earth.

I may have missed one or more. So if you know of some, let them know. I share the list in the Facebook group Daily Companies Podcast Group if you’re curious. But let’s take a look at this January Steve Hoffs that is the recipe. I don’t remember that coming out, and I’m not going to repeat that about one hundred times here, And that surprises me because Steve loves to publicize himself like big time.

So how that came out without it hitting my radar? And again, I write this podcast every day, even if I don’t record every day, I do write every day. I don’t know how I have missed that.

The Shark Deck. Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Variety caught up with Ego Nootum and asked her, if you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing. Ego said, I was pre med because I’m Nigerian American and pretty much all parents want us to be doctors. I was a business miner as well in college.

I love my business classes. I love my accounting class. Doing a ledger was very fun to me. I don’t think i’d be an accountant. I’d be a headhunter recruiter because I love helping people find what they’re looking for.

If you said I’m looking for a pair of pants, I’d be like, what kind? What style? She took that question quite seriously. Most comedians would have clowned around there. All right, what made you laugh the most watching SNL before you were on it?

And she said Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, and Tracy Morgan. I loved, loved, loved watching them. Tracy was always so funny, and then getting to see him on thirty Rock just solidified that for me. Now that I’m there, Heidi Gardner makes me laugh a lot. She just embodies a character.

So well. Andy Dismukes makes me laugh a ton. James Austin Johnson’s really freaking funny. Everyone I work with is so funny. That’s not a fair question.

Kevin Hart has been out and about promoting diet Heart two. Movie Web asked him about the action and die Heart Too, said, there’s so many great scenes to go through, especially when you look at your sporing partner, people like John Cena. What’s it like working with him? Kevin said, John Cena was great. We were very lucky to have him.

He’s an amazing talent, a world star of today’s time. His success is warranted. He’s a tremendous athlete, a tremendous personality in the space of wrestlings at a mirror that to match that was a no brainer. How much did you prep in this one? My size is no match of course for John cenas I just try to come in with a significant amount of personality.

But there are moments in the movie where the alignment are jesting from me he to I are ones where the audience is going to run away remembering afterward our fight scene, especially so I would say buckle up. James Gordon was at the palifest. The Late Late Show is just about to die, the last one April twenty seventh, and they’re not bringing it back. There will be no next host of The Late Late Show. Gordon said they have twelve episodes left to do.

They probably a few were now, and they’ll likely be the biggest show that’s ever done. These will include three carpool karaoke sessions and one of his famous crosswalk to musical segments where he ties up traffic in LA and really ticks people off, as well as the teased Lion King musical performance with James Cordon and Tom Cruise. Cordon will also participate in They Take a Break segment with the Kardashian Family. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of James cordon Lately Show seeing clips, I don’t think I’ve ever actually watched the show. Cordon revealed one of the craziest ideas that they never got to, which would have been Jennifer Lopez living with him in a glass box to spend it over Sunset Boulevard for an entire day to promote her twenty twenty two Netflix documentary halftime.

He says it feels strange to be ending the show. It’s not right because you’re having such a great time it gets to go to work with all my best friends. But at the same time, I’m so certain it’s the right thing to do. I’m so absolutely certain that we did everything we wanted to do, and I think it’s really important to have things end. T K.

Kirkland is going to film a comedy show in Bermuda April fifteen. TK Kirkland billed as the Underground King of Comedy. Yeah, will be the star of the stage. April fifteenth. A local said there’s never ever been a comedy special shot in Bermuda.

Others have done it in Cuba, whatever, but not Bermuda. So it’s a big deal. He’s gonna film it Bermuda and then it’ll be picked up by a major network, either Hulu, TV One, Netflix, Whoever’s going to pay him the most money. But for us as a country, as an island, we will be showcased. If you want to go April fifteenth, eight thirty pm in Bermuda, be prepared for quote strong language is the warning on the ticket.

Chris Gether didn’t talked to Broadway World. They asked, hey, what’s your process like when it comes to sitting down and writing out a show, Getherd said, my writing process tends to be a lot of bullet points in a notebook and notes on my phone. Then on any given night, I’ll start organizing those bullet points to see, all right, if this follows this, does it build momentum or their callbacks to start the show up? If I place things in different places, A lot of it is just random scrawls in a notebook that if he sat down and looked at it, there’s no one else on earth who could possibly decipher what I was going for. I’ve often said if I ever dropped my notebook on the ground and someone found it, I think that might call the police because it’s almost unibomber level strange chicken scratch.

At the end of the day, no matter how much you put in the notebook, you have to get up on stage. You have to try it, you have to bomb, you have to eat it. I have done that many times with this materially as well, particularly at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where I kept bombing and rebuilding it, bombing and rebuilding it. That’s a painful but necessary process. He said.

I’m really jealous of musician friends of mine. They don’t have to get up and play a half finished song in front of an audience to see how it goes. And if they have a song people like, they get to play it forever. Comedians throw it out once we’ve released it somewhere, and we pray we have a few more jokes in us. On the other side, if you like what I do here, you go to buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News.

I told you yesterday that my ice coffee was almost empty. You can hear it. It’s really almost empty now. And apparently it’s been sitting here for twenty four hours and it’s gotten quite warm and the ice has melted and stuff you didn’t record for audience Saturday Back to back John Ditch, No, No, I’ve just been sitting here hoping someone would buy me a fresh ice coffee that has actual ice in it. But I guess not.

If you feel bad, gotta buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News, good way to support the show. Jordan Strauss’s album is called The Funny Thing About Cancer. He says you have to be able to laugh at it. That’s one lesson that he learned after his wife’s cancer diagnosis. Jordan and Chelsea Strouss were planning their wedding in March of twenty two when Chelsea’s knee, which had been bothering her for almost a year, began to be unbearably painful.

Turned out she had bone cancer. Yek Strauss said the treatment was very aggressive, six rounds of chemo and a major surgery on her leg. They wanted to go through the wedding even though she had to start aggressive chemo just two and a half weeks before their wedding day. Two days before the wedding, Chelsea was hospitalized with a fever. It was told she wouldn’t be able to leave until her fever came down for a full forty eight hours.

She begged and pleaded they let her out for a quick ceremony, then she had to go back to the hospital. Jordan says it does seem a little odd a comedy album about my wife’s cancer diagnosis, but I wrote it with a thought in mind that I want this to be enjoyed by people that are going through the same thing. It’s got a website you can pay whatever you want. It’s a digital download twenty percent of all proceeds will be donated to bone cancer research foundations. Chelsea’s cancers in remission.

She’s finished her chemotherapy. They’re about to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. The Age taking a look at some of these shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. One of them is Dave Woodhead. He’s the host of Triple j’s Lunch on the radio, and he said, we get hundreds of thousands of people listening at any point, and I feel nothing when I go on stage, even if it’s just send people in the crowd.

I get very nervous and I start shaking. It’s not just being nervous, it’s the adrenaline kicking in. It’s such a rush the whole time. So I’m a radio guy and I can tell you anytime we do a big live show, I still would get nervous. I think it’s just normal.

If I didn’t feel nervous, I would feel weird. You just you get that adrenaline rush. I feel you, Dave Woodhead. When I was growing up, he joined the festival’s Class Clown competition for teens. He said, I kind of cracked the code that if you chucked a couple of jokes into the presentation got the teachers laughing that start bumping up your greeds.

He saw an ad for class clowns. He decided to give it a shot, and a week leading into it, I remember it being so irritable and really on edge. Just before he took the stage, he suffered a classic high school situation, an American pie moment where I completely ripped my jeans in the worst place, right next to the crotch. I had to do the first show holding my shirt down. But as soon as I got my first big laugh was the first time I relaxed in a week.

I suddenly felt common at ease. The rush is why you keep doing it after a while, to chase that feeling. He’s learned that the comedy festival is a mental game too, and he said, when you’re doing a show every night, you want to impress the audience, but you’re also hanging around with comics, so there’s almost a competitive thing in that. There’s just all this unnecessarily bs that can cloud what you’re actually trying to do with the biggest challenge when doing the festival is to remember to have fun, but remember the comedy’s a fun thing and the people have come out that night. Just want to see you have a good time.

Dave Woodhead show lunch for dinners at Trades Hall if you’re in Melbourne all the way through April twenty third, but not on Wednesdays. He’s off on Wednesdays. Maybe plays volleyball. Who knows. Let’s head on over to the website and see who is playing on Sunday and no Sunday is Easter?

Does the festival have a lot of shows on Easter? Do people go to comedy shows in Australia and Easter? James Rooks show is called Badong. Ever since he was a little kid, James has always been called by his family by his Filipino nicknamed Badong. Now, after turning thirty, he’s asking the question is it time to retire their name?

Metro mag said, my favorite show of the festival. Okay, so before we hear the clip, I have to cherry picket. He dropped a lot of f bombs of the setup. Here is about a song and the lyrics of the song and the punchline is that the couple in the song I’ve had sex four straight days. Then he did some crowd work.

Let’s jump in. It’s fine if you don’t. What’s your name, bro, Joe, You’re like, oh Joe, look, it’s fine, Joe. It’s fine if you don’t. No one does.

I don’t. I’m gonna be up fun with you. No one does, right Joe, I’m getting a vibe with you. They’re like, if we if I made like an R and B group with you and like hopped into booth and made our own remot today, so we’ll go something like this, We’ll go Mata run a Monday, took a for it. Drake gone Tuesday, center a text on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday and Saturday.

Still haven’t heard from her. Like, let’s do one more here, boy, This website is getting slower every day. I hope you guys like this international stuff. I just find it interesting to hear some different voices rather than say, talk about Bert Kreisher every single day. You know, Oh, here’s Brian Lewis.

We talked about Brian yesterday. Hi guys, I’m Brian. I live in Brisbane. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it. It’s Australia’s biggest suburb.

Took his ages to get COVID up in Queensland. But if I’m honest, it takes the ages to get anything, so it’s really nice for me to be here. I’ve left at home in Brizzie. Always get this wrong. An eight year old, six year old and a one year old.

Yeah, none of them are mine. Just a very bad babysitter. Yea, Now they mind three kids? What a slot? All right, little slow start there, but oh kay, you know who else is playing in Melbourne on Sunday.

Kyle Canaane. Imagine I went all the way to Melbourne. I just saw Kyle Canaane. That would not be a good choice. I mean, I love Kyle Kanade, but I don’t need to fly nineteen hours to do that.

And that is your comedy news for today. On Tomorrow’s show, a look at all one hundred and fifty comedy specials released this year. Now by a look at, I mean, Johnny Mack reads you one hundred and fifty things. I don’t have time to analyze one hundred and fifty comedy specials or watch them or whatever. But if you want the fullest of everything that’s come out this year, check out the back end of Tomorrow’s podcast Normal Stuff.

At the top. I did that at the end. It’s seriously twelve minutes of me reading a list. I’m not sure it was the best idea, so I moved it to the end. But the front of the show is normal, and I meet you back here tomorrow.

See then, Can I interest you in some meatballs made out of mammoth meat? No? All right, Hi, I’m Johnny Mack, host of Five Good News Stories. It’s a twice a week podcast where I share some upbeat stories like the dog who only will respond to commands if you use an Irish brogue.

The Shark Deck. Hey, you remember last year when Dave Chappelle got curfewed at NAPPA and said it never returned. Hig, I’m trying to make with your daily comany news. Well, I guess money tucks because Dave is on the slate to MC. The festival’s triumphant return to nappis Silverado Resort July twenty eight through the thirtieth.

It’s the Blue Note Jazz Festival, Dave Chappelle. Your MC headliners include Mary J. Blige, Nas, and Chance the Rapper. Three day passes for the Blue Note Jazz Festival start at five hundred and fifty dollars from USA Today. Bobby Lee has responded to backlash over resurface videos of the comedian reportedly telling a story.

It’s talking about this yesterday. It’s a little icky and you. Most recently teld the story on a twenty twenty podcast episode about an encounter with a prostitute in Tijuana. The story that Leads told I’ll condense it here has him going to Tijuana scutting for prostitute and hooker alley. He found a girl that seemed scared.

Bobby Lee has addressed the criticism on his Tiger Belly podcast. He said, the last couple of weeks have been so bad. I just need to say something. It’s easily explainable, he said. In twenty thirteen, he was forced to do press after not selling tickets to a second show at Caroline’s on Broadway.

When Lee saw Opie and Anthony on his schedule, he recalled telling his team, I don’t want to do that show. It’s just not my brand. It’s edgy shock Radio. The following year, he was scheduled to go on Opie and Anthony again, and he said he decided to do self deprecation and crazy jokes to avoid being skewered by o Na. He said he combined two unsuccessful jokes from his tour to form the Tijuana story.

The first bit was about going on a date with a young girl who looked like twelve year old Natalie Portman from Leon the Professional, and the second joke was about speeding up the process of sex with his girlfriend, who started crying about her recently deceased Grahama during the act. Li said, I was encouraged to say crazy stuff without thinking about it. When I listened back to it now, it puts a chill down my spine. I changed with society and I look at that story and feel guilt over it. It’s terrible.

It was stupid to say it as many times as I said it, including a currently as late as twenty twenty on theo Van’s podcasts. So we’re throwing Ona under the twenty thirteen bus. That’s all fair, but it’s sold it. In twenty twenty, Bobby Lee said, I understand the uproar and why people are upset about it. I’m upset about it, and I punish myself over at every second of every day.

At the end of the day, it’s not real and I didn’t do anything well that is good. Leslie Jones tells people she would like to be the host of The Daily Show. She said it was one of those in the pocket fits, you know, how you get fitted for suit and you’re like, yeah, this suit looks nice on me. I don’t mind wearing this style on me. The Daily Show was that, I would say.

My writer Lenny Marcus said to me that we’ve been trying to find a place that’s actually going to be fun and in fishing place to work at. Everybody calls themselves world renown, and they’ve done this and done that. But we haven’t ever had totally good experiences on productions. A lot of times people are crep that’s floating, or just not as good as what they think. They are messy.

But on The Daily Show, everybody there was good at their job, and everybody there was staying in their lane and did their job. Even when we were editing jokes and bits and stuff. They were so respectful and then they were very good at what they did. There were lines that I was like, Okay, how am I trying to say this? And I’m telling you the writers would say, and I’d be like, gush, darn are you in my head?

They were good. I remember asking Chris Rock. I was like, is there any advice? And he was like, first of all, I’m never worried about you, and second, don’t try to be John Stewart, don’t try to be Trevor. Be you be who you are.

I already kind of knew that, but you know how you just need maybe a little permission to do that. So that’s really what it was. Donald Glover is profiled and GQ and he said Amy Poehler told him that he didn’t get on SNL because his stand up lacked a point of view. Glover said, me being on SNL would have killed me. I got friends who made it on SNL, and at the time I was like, damn, But if I got on SNL, my career wouldn’t have happened.

Glover has claimed that Tina Fey confirmed to him that he was only hired as a writer on thirty Rock because of NBC’s diversity initiative Wow at twenty three years old. Donald Glover got a job on thirty Rock in two thousand and six. He told g Q it was a diversity thing. There’s no animosity between us or anything like that, but Tina Fey said it herself. The last two people who were fighting for the job were me and Kenya Barris.

I didn’t know was between me and him until later. Glover said. Kenya hit me one day and he was like, I hated you for years. Glover said, it definitely didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there. I used to have stress dreams every night where he’s doing cartwheels on the top of a New York skyscraper with the other writers watching me.

The Good One podcast had on Kathleen Man again and they said, you know you’re Sometimes he’ll announce a new tour, but it seems like you’re actually on the same never ending tour. Kathleen said, it is never ending. People are like, oh, how long has this tour been, And I’m like, thirty five years. I’m not Black Sabbath. I don’t get to take two years off and think of an album.

It starts when you’re in theaters. Let’s say I do the Chicago Theater once every eighteen months. They don’t want to put the same poster up. They don’t want the same ad. That’s what’s driving all that, And that makes sense, but usually it’s new jokes by the time I get back there.

But tour names for comics, I’m just grasping anything. Call it boxwine and a Tanny Banjo. I don’t want it to be a title where a press could be mean, what’s it like on the never Ending Tour? The first few times I went around, I did all the touristy things, and then you start making friends in those towns. It’s a chance to see my friends again.

If I’m going to Columbus, Ohio, I’m not going to the zoo. I’ve been there a bunch. I’m going to see my friends. She said about working, She and Ron White have the same theory. You’re either working or you’re not.

It’s like going to the gym. Oh really, you haven’t been in three months. I don’t know all these stand up comedians, so I haven’t heard their name in two years. All of a sudden they have a special Really, where did you do that? It’s incomprehensible to me.

I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m not saying they’re not necessarily funny. I just don’t understand. I have to be in a rhythm. Even if I’d take a week off that first show, I’m going to forget a few things.

It’s just rust. And Ron White is such a pot monster that his memory shot. He’s like, I can’t remember anything about ten minutes in my whole life. And I was like, well that’s enough. You could be my opener.

Why not just go out there and do ten minutes. It doesn’t even matter how good it is. McCall caught up with a Jay Leno. He’s at the State Theater tonight. Are you doing, Jay?

Well, let’s see, I’ve got a broken collar bone, two broken ribs, and two crack kneecaps ore than that, I’m okay. It’s actually not too bad. When I’m on stage, it’s fine. It would be far worse if I had slipped in my pet boone walking bathtub. But when you’re seventy two and crash your eighty three year old motorcycle, it’s kind of cool.

As for the show, I guess it’s what you’d call classic stand up comedy. I decided to take the politics out of the act because it’s so divisive. I’ve found that when you’re on stage and you mentioned either candidate, people always wait till they hear the joke before they react. If the joke was for their candidate, they laugh. It was against their candidate, they boo.

It’s funny how you can have a wonderful cross section of America a regular audience. You’re doing fine, and then twenty five minutes and you start talking politics and they start booing and yelling. I understand, Jay, I get podcast comments. I just read late night jokes. I don’t write them.

Jay said, when you’re a comedian, you’ll always lose half your audience if you give your opinion. That’s why I make fun of both sides equally. One of my favorite guys was Roddey Dangerfield. I knew him for forty years, and all that time I had no idea if he was a Democrat Republican because we never discussed politics. Was the hardest part about being a comedian, Jay Leno.

He said, there’s nothing harder than writing a joke. You always need to come up with material, and that’s why I like being a road comic and having that interaction and one on one with the live audience. I don’t want to do a Netflix or HBO special. With those you make a ton of money, but it’s only that one show. I’d rather do one hundred shows and learn something.

I honestly thought I’d do this until I had to get a real job. I grew up in a little town in New England. Had an English teacher who pulled to the side once and said, I saw you in the hall making jokes. How about instead of writing a paper for my class, you get up and give a talk. For the first time in my life, I actually enjoyed doing a homework because I had to think about what I was going to say.

It wasn’t hilarious, but I got a few laughs. My teacher gave me an a My mom was stunned. She said, have you ever getten thought to being a comedy writer comedian? I said, no, not really. He told this wonderful story.

I remember when I was in fifth grade and mister Simon’s class, I had to write a paper about John Glenn circling in the earth. So I wrote the paper and I got a C minus on it. Forty eight years later, I had John Glenn on the Tonight show. So I called mister Simon, who was still lived in the area, and I said, do you remember the paper I wrote where he gave me C minus? Well, I have the second part of my report we’ll be talking about on the tonight shows.

To be sure to watch. I had told John Glenn about it beforehand. He thought it was funny. The next day, mister Simon called me up and told me he’d upgraded from a C two an A. Oh man, listen to this.

You know what this is. This is about one eleventh of a large ice coffee with caramel and almond milk. Don’t you feel bad for me? I mean, it’s so sad. I’ve got like three SIPs left.

If you want to buy me an ice coffee with caramel and Colman Milko to buy meacoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. It’s a great easy way to sport the show. Several options there. You can join the two dollars clubs recurring membership, you can recur at a higher amount. You could buy me a coffee for five bucks.

You could buy me three like Carowood did the other day. Or hey, you can throw a million dollars in the tip jar. Believe me, if you throw a million dollars in a tip jar, I’ll shout you out at least in two consecutive episodes. So that’s how cool I am. Buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News.

The headliners for Norfolks fourteenth annual Great American Comedy Festival have been announced. Vicky Lawrence will headline the closing night gala. She would perform as both herself and her famous character Mama. That’s Saturday, June seventeenth. Michael ian Black headlines the night before, and the festival kicks off on Thursday, June fifteenth with the traditional family comedy magic show.

This is in Nebraska. Check out Great American Comedy Festival dot com. The Sydney Morning Herald shared a season to performers Guide to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Ally McGregor suggests, by early evening tickets to a big name you’re familiar with, then take a flyer on one of the fresh faces doing this set at town Hall. She says, the show’s only an hour long, so if you’re going to go into the city and make a full night of it, see someone you know, then get a bite to eat or drink, then go to town Hall to grab tickets as someone you never heard of. I agree that is a great plan.

You’ve heard me say several times now. Melbourne is a fantastic city. McGregor says. The festival takes over the whole city and it feels like everyone’s totally vibing. I would suggest going to bars that look over the city so you can have a drink and look down and see people walking around.

She likes Madame Brussels. It’s a bit of an institution for me. You catch a lift to a roof garden that’s decked out like an English tea garden to play croquet in, and all these bartenders are wearing tennis whites. It’s hilarious. The age took a look at a bunch of shows at the festival, one of them Sashi Pereira.

She started in twenty eighteen at the Raw Comedy competition and said, raw comedy, it’s such a great weight experience stand up for the first time. If you get up in an open mic, there might only be one or two three people in an audience, whereas this was packed with people’s friends and family and everyone’s on your side. She made it to the state finals that year. Eventually he got approached by producers to peer in group shows at the festival. She says, when I started, I didn’t want to talk about being a woman.

I didn’t want to talk about being brown. I was just like, I’ll talk about doors and automated voices, things everyone can relate to. But I found the more of myself i’d put in, the more personalized I made it, the more I was connecting with the audiences. Her show endings is at the Chinese Museum through April ninth. Dan Rosario found out when he first tried stand up he didn’t suck.

He said, some of my best mates did comedy every day for two years before they got a laugh. But I was the only boy of eight cousins and I used to wake up in the morning at age six and think, how will I make the girls laugh? He didn’t want to rush into his first full length solo show. He said, I got a lot of advice from comedians who’ve been in the game longer. They were like, when you want to do an hour show, wait a year.

His fans a lot otherwise, people kept saying, when can we see you? We’re sick of seeing give you five or ten minutes. Well, now you could see him do an hour. White people needs her relax, as the name of the show said, trades Hall Through April twenty third, The Age also took a look at Braun Lewis. Her previous career was as a high school English teacher.

She decided to try stand up and said, there’s a bit of a midlife crisis stench about someone in their thirties starting comedy. My friends were like, we think you’re funny, but that sounds terrifying. So she moved to Brisbane. In Brisbane, I didn’t know anyone. It’s nice to perform for people who aren’t worried about you.

There she figured out how to get good at comedy. Her take on hour long shows you don’t have time to do a story in a five minute spot. You don’t have the time to work with Cadence. It’s bang bang bang. But now she’s got an hour.

Broun Lewis, it’s called Probably. It’s at the Weston four through April twenty third. And let’s open up the schedule. How long do you think it’ll take to load today? It took about a minute.

All right, Let’s see what I can tell you about today. A lot of children’s shows in the morning, tomorrow being Saturday. I guess that makes sense. Let’s listen to Ivan Arista Gietta. He was the winner of the Best Comedy award from the twenty twenty three Adelaide Fringe, also the winner of the Best Comedy in the twenty twenty two Adelaide Fringe.

He must be pretty good, say Olah. So Australia’s newest Aussie is happy immigrant has just come one of us, craigy amigo.

All right, let’s listen.

I’m from Venezuela. I’ve been living here for four years. Four years. I already feel I’m becoming Australian because I’m relating to food in a more Australian way. Last month, I went to Bunnings on a Saturday morning.

As soon as I smellow sausage Szel I was like, oh my god, Sausagezel was like, oh my goal, what’s happening to me? That wasn’t me four years ago. The first time I smellow sausage thisele, I was like, oh my god, there’s someone burning inside a car and it’s a hairy man. It’s a fat hairyman and his dog. They’re burning inside of cars.

Not anymore. I love a sausage thisl. I love them. You pay coins for it, just coins? How good is to pay with coins?

I love pairing with coins. When I pay with coins, I don’t feel I’m giving away money. I’m just getting rid of coins, all right. I found that really funny. I had the Mico, but I was holding back laughter to not step by the jokes.

That was pretty good. Now I want to play another clip, but the website froze, so let me just get out on tops. That was actually funny. That’s your comedy is for today. Follow the show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows.

The Shark Deck. I’m Johnny Mac with your Daily Comedy News. Jimmy Fallon said, Trump made history. The only good news for Trump in Florida. All their history books been thrown out, so it’s all right.

Seth Meyer said, that’s right. Former President Trump wasn’t rained in Manhattan, and like everybody else, Trump has presumed innocent until the outright confesses on truth. Social Colbert at that point, of course, he was ready as Miranda rights. Then he claimed Miranda wasn’t even his typeaster to sign an nda and got indicted again. The late night host thought Trump looks sad.

Roy Wood Junior, finally getting a chance to host The Daily Show, said, look at how sad Trump looks. My man looks like somebody told him his dog died, or that Mike Pence is still alive. Fallon, he looks like he’s watching another table at Applebee’s get their food first. Looks like he had to sit through unskippable ads on YouTube. He looks like Ben Affleck at the Grammys.

Hey, great news. Bobcat Goldthwaite is coming out with his first album in decades, says the press release. Now that confuses me because in twenty twelve, Bobcat golthweight released a compilation of jokes called you Don’t Look the Same Either, and it came out on album because I know I’ve been playing it on Slacker turned Live one for a long time twenty twelve. Hey, I was still at Serious Sexam playing it there. So I’m wondering, is this an actual album album?

You know, like, if Taylor Swift puts out Folklore, that’s an album, not a Netflix special. Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA, that’s an album, not a Netflix special. The stuff Dave Chappelle does, the stuff that Jim Gaffigan does, those are Netflix specials. You can put them on vinyl if you want. But I know a comedy album when I see one.

So I’m guessing Bobcat Golthwaite’s new thing it’s just an album, which means I’ve got your back to be the Grammy of the Year for Comedy Album because I’m a snob and I think it should be an album, not a Netflix special anyway. It is called Soldier for Christ. The album is a mix of personal stories never told along with observations and reflections, revealing the warm hearted, punk rock human behind the wild nineteen eighties persona, a self described VHS comic, and a TikTok world Bobcat share stories about everything from childhood, family and old friendships, to touring with Nirvana and aging. The album will be out on April twenty six. You can pre order it now.

He’s also going to celebrate the release at Lincoln Lodge at Chicago, that’s where Soldier for Christ was recorded. Tickets are on sale. Tickets will benefit the Trevor Project.

Also appearing at that show Eugene Merman.

That’s pretty neat. I like these guys. They even sent over a track listing. Are you curious? Of course you are.

Track one is called Hello, When do you think Hello is about? What kind of jokes do you think? Hello? Track two old Bob Behavior. The next it says, my name is Robert Goldthwaite, balloon on a grave, Cigars, nuns and Viagra, cowboy colin oscopy.

Now we’re up to track seven. F these guys, then UFOs opening for Nirvana. Don’t repeat this story, fu AARP check your oil. Nickelback’s manager is a Penis. I met Grover, my big brother Robert, and I do the voice in all caps swimming Towards the Shark track nineteen bonus, Intro track twenty bonus, I’m in Love with a Duck track twenty one bonus, The Vigilante Nun They even sent over a bio or You’re curious, I’m excited about this album in case you can’t tell.

Since Bobcat Goldthwaite’s first appearance on The David Letterman Show at the age of twenty, now it says The David Letterman Show. Does that mean Bobcat was on the daytime one? That’s pretty awesome. Bobcat has gone on and maintain a thriving career as a writer, director, actor, voice actor, and stand up comedian. As a comedian, Bobcat has starred numerous hbos slash Showtime specials, performed in venues all over the world, and even went on tours and I’m gonna read this next sentence verbatim, and even went on tour as an opening act for the Nirvana, Yes, it says the Nirvana all Right.

Well known for his roles and scrooged with Bill Murray and Z and the Police Academy franchise, Goldthwaite has gone on to become a well respected award winning director, then a bunch of stuff about his directorial credits. After fleeing Los Angeles, he now lives somewhere in the woods in Illinois with his girlfriend Nora and their five cats. Anderson Coop Her Love It, Alice Cooper Love It, Tina Sparkle, Bruce Wayne, and Robert Smith. John Stewart was on The Daily Show. Is he coming back to host?

No? No No? He was dressed in full Obi wan Kenobi outfit, and he appeared to help guest host Roy would Junior go viral? Vulture observes feels sort of Kingmakery. No.

John explained that he used to host The Daily Show. Roy Wood said, wait, the Daily Show had a white host. Look, Johnny Mack. You can hate on Adam sandler comedies as much as you want. You could sit there in your stoop basement recording your dumb podcast saying Adam Sandler’s movies are terrible, but Netflix says Murder Mysteries Too.

Debut was the second biggest opening weekend for a comedy film on Netflix. It was watched by forty two million households in the first three days post release. That’s slightly more people than listen to this podcast. I will give you that, Adam. According to Netflix, Murder Mystery two accumulated sixty four point four million hours streamed over it’s debut weekend, a figure that catapulted it into the top ten of the streamers movie section in ninety one countries.

So there you are. You’re in Luxembourg and you’re locking in Netflix and you watch Murder Misty two. It was also the most watched English language Netflix movie on the service for the week running March twenty seven to April second.

---

Now, let’s parse that sentence, the most watched English language Netflix mov…

So something in another language beat Murder Mystery two. There still is hope internationally for us. All good job people who speak different language. Remember last week I told you Trevor Noah is going to host one of those Amazon l L last one laughing things. Well, Graham Norton is going to host one.

He’s doing the Irish one. Ten comedians locked in a flat together and I have to try to make each other laugh. Anyone who laughs, you’re expelled. The Irish version will shoot and Dublin this spring and it will air next year in all two hundred and forty countries where Prime Video is available. So say you’re in Luxembourg and you’re like, I didn’t really like Murder Mystery two?

What else is on? You’ll be able to watch this, Graham Norton said. And don’t think I didn’t almost say, Jim Norton, I almost did. Graham Norton said, I’m thrilled to be working on home ground for the first time in many, many years. I’m so proud of our comedy culture and it’s wonderful to have a platform to showcase Irish talent to a global audience.

I can’t wait to see what our comedy masterminds do to get the laughter going. This press release did not mention any sort of prize. I don’t know if the Graham Norton Show is giving fifty five thousand dollars to Irish comedians or what they’re doing. Who knows. If you like what I do here, you can go to buy me acoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News.

He could there was some money in the tip jar. You know who did that, Kara? Would you know? Kara with the whole power of the street woman, that’s gilding me into running. Hey, Kara, I just got back from a three point three mile run.

That’s five days in a row in case you’re counting, but you’re not counting, because that’s what we do on Mondays. We’re not doing that today. Today we’re talking about how Kara would bought me three large ized coffees, but she added to be misappropriated on beer only. That’s because she listened to yesterday’s podcast and knew my plan for Wednesday night was, of course, to go to trivia night at the brewery and three largeised coffe phase. That’s fifteen bucks.

That’s two beers at the brewery. Perfect because as anyone who knows me, I am on my soapbox about two beers, not eight. Two beers during a three and a half hour trivia game. Perfect eight beers. What are you doing?

Karrowood? Thank you for going to buy me a coffee? Dot com slash a daily comingy news Kevin Hart said, I’m forty three, so I hope I got a little bit at SIME left. I definitely want to go out while I’m on top. But I’m finding new fun, like in the space of interviewing and podcasts, that’s something that’s evergreen.

Like I’ve actually interviewed a lot of people I’m also artist friendly. I don’t believe in the space of sabotaging talent. I amplify talent. So coming on any platform of mine is about celebrating you and what you’ve done in your world of success. And I don’t do any prep, no prep, no pre interviews.

Now here’s what we’re talking about. Here’s the marketing premo. I don’t do any of that stuff. Come on my show and we’re just gonna talk. One talent that he says he amplified is Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

That’s right. He said, Well, his career was over, he needed help, So what did he do? Called the old Khart came on board and changed that man’s life. By the way, you’re welcome. You’re welcome because we know the truth before me.

Yet that stupid movie tooth Fairy. We all know what was happening after then then boom, Central Intelligence shoots to the moon. There’s a comedy festival in Montreal. But no, it is not the just for laughs, I mean that still exists, of course, hoping to go, got to check my calendar, hoping to get up there. Are you’re going to join me?

We can hang out. We could have a beverage. Starting tonight through the ninth, Montreal’s inaugural giggle Fest will host over thirty shows and feature more than eighty local and international performers at the Montreal Art Center and Museum. Now, why are they doing this? Gigle Fest says it seeks to spotlight and elevate local English comedy producers and artists with a business model that allows producers and comedians to see real profits for their art.

Local comedian Michelle Forrester said, what’s crazy is that we’re a city known for the behemoth that is JFL, and yet when people come up here they have a hard time accessing English stand up comedy. There are so many amazing independent shows that uplift overlooked talent. Giggle Fest gives people centralized access to all those shows and artists in four day. Is pretty cool. Giggle FESTMTL dot com if you want to check that out.

Steph Curry, Yes that’s Curry. He is coming to television. He’s going to costar with actor Adam Paley. It’s called Mister Throwback, a mockumentary comedy on NBC. Mister Throwback will focus on a down on his luck memorabilia dealer.

Looking for redemption, he reunites with Steph Curry, who is his sixth grade teammate. Here’s Today’s Horrible story from USA Today. Bobby Lee under fire for resurface videos of the comedian telling a story three years ago. In that story, he talks about an encounter with a prostitute in Tijuana. It’s a clip from THEO Vaughan’s This Past Weekend from January twenty twenty.

Bobby Lee tells the O Van that he frequented a brothel and Tijuana with go workers while working in the food service industry. For this report, Bobby Lee said, this is going to be a hard story to tell. I don’t know if I can get around it. Honestly, if you think this is going to ruin me, we had cut it out. I was walking down Hooker Alley and there was a girl.

It was a girl that seemed scared. That was the one I wanted. Bobby Lee then clarifies the woman’s age, having early referred to her as a girl and said, this is not a kid. This is an adult, fully grown woman. He then the story and says, while having sex with the woman that she’s this is horrible, crying snot bubbles the whole thing.

He goes on to describes speeding up the process to get over with it. Another clip from the podcast Tiger Billy Clips has also surfaced. He tells the same story of desiring a quote girl facing the wall, the one that doesn’t want to be there. USA Today writes it’s unclear if the story is factual or a comedic bit. USA Today reached out to Lee’s reps for comment.

At the time of this recording eleven twenty five am Wednesday, April fifth, I’m not aware of any comments from Bobby Lee. Let’s take a look at the Milburn International Comedy Festival. A review of Lara recotes GRL slash latnx slash d EF that shows playing until April twenty third. So Girl, a teen x deaf dage said, once you started getting noticed in Britain’s comedy scene, interviewers would ask for certain things, then ask if I could talk about my hearing aids, and I realized that being a minority is very in This is horrible, but I’m a good combination of the things. I’m disabled, but I’m not too disabled.

I’m Latin American, but I speak English. So I’m in this terrible but perfect place between all these minorities where people say, I went and listen to this deaf girl, but I can understand her. In Girl Latine’s Death, she uses storytelling to explore intersectional identity and what it’s like to pass as a hearing person and as white. It’s also about how cynical we are in terms of what’s allowed, what isn’t, what’s in, and how it feels to be brought in, but also in some incidences, taken out when people find out. With both her disability and heritage not immediately obvious to others, she says, she often feels like she’s being sneaky.

I feel like an undercover person of color. She used deaf in the title of the show because Heart of Hearing is not a snappy but I’m hyper aware that I shouldn’t be saying deaf. I don’t belong to the deaf community. I will eventually, but not yet. Let’s open up the schedule for today and see who’s playing.

Let’s see how long the website takes to load today. Boy, I did do an edit there that took over a minute. All right, I’m kind of into talking about the things where I can play a clip that’s a little more fun. So I’m taking a look at Friday’s line up at the International Comedy Festival, because again, if you’re in Melbourne, by the time you’re hearing this, it’s already Friday, even though in New York City it’s Thursday. Yeah, a lot of time zones in between there, all right, how about Carmen Ghetta in Carmenacha a Corona infused disco barbecue, but it’s Carman Ghetta.

The Cougar has left the Hubby and Brighton Bay mansion on a mission to achieve social media celebrity, serving up so much more than fish and chips in Corona better. Corman fuses high energy clown routines, impeccable opera serenades, and a diva menu you had no idea you needed. Is it cabarets and a catwalk? Is it a cooking show? Is a game show?

Is it everything anyone could ever want it? Soylet block one oh seven? Yes, it is, my friends, that sounds really fun. This cougar escate starling. I’ve got the jewelry.

I don’t worry about the house. You’ll take care of itself. I’m out of here, Rada, I’m gone it, I’m gone. I’m not your property. I’m not your property.

This is not your ring, these are not your bottles, this is not your house. Already that was a little different. About the racist immigrants, Oh my, what’s this? An hour of unabashed comedy. They’ll leave you crying with laughter and questioning everything you knew about immigrants and cultures as it attempts to break all stereotypes.

A review from a Chinese proverb says he will come out feeling a lot less racist than when you went in at five stars. Let’s do a clip, right, Yes, picking up women for men of my kind is really hard, right, like it? It’s really hard because apparently women only like this accent when I’m offering them cheap deals from waterforn. That sounds fun. A lot of the audio was a little subpar so that’s why the short clip there.

One more. Let’s see Claire Hooper Sweet Charity Australia. Sweetheart takes a break from emotionally scoring her children with graphic descriptions of the Heinlich maneuver to tell you all about the kind and worthy things she’s done lately and hope they’ll outweigh all the times that she’s wished people dead. Let’s listen. Are we hugging no?

We’re not? No? Ye know, that’s one of those questions where if you’re not sure the answer, just don’t ask, you know, those questions like are you going to ate that? What will you marry me? And are we hugging?

No? In the last couple of years, it’s been possible to be friends with someone for months and still not have seen the inside of their house, friends with someone for months and not know who’s better. All right, I mean a bit of a slow start there. For the clip that you chose to spotlight no from Onward States internet sensation Trevor Wallace sing a Little buzz On. Trevor Wallace this week performed a self deprecating and largely improvised comedy set as part of a free comedy show hosted by Penn State’s Student Programming Association.

Wallace began his set by waltzing on stage wearing a miniature foam finger on his hand, which he quickly removed and revealed his outstretched middle finger. He said, always gre to come back to schools. He didn’t get into I had a two point six GETPA, so their loss after a Jerry Sandusky joke didn’t land, he wondered if he was still going to get paid. Wallace then talked about his impressions of Penn State’s campus, saying there are cars all over the place and students just don’t seem to care. They’re walking around like I’ve priority here.

I played lacrosse for one season, so f off. He joked about a childhood and said, one time my dad actually pulled the door of my bedroom off. That son of a bee turned my room into a jeep wrangler. And from the department of Please, don’t you know what’s on today? On Paramount Plus Greece, Rise of the Pink Ladies.

Yeah, boy, have you seen the trailers for this thing? Sat in nineteen fifty four, four years before the nineteen seventy eight film You Know Greece with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John Hope you’ve heard of that one. Pink Ladies explores out a group of four ridel outcast forged a friendship then became the title Girl Gang fourbears to Rizzo, Frenchie and the other beloved pink Ladies from the movie I can’t wait to see the reactions to this thing. I think it’s going to be velma level. That is your comedy news for today.

The Shark Deck. Hey, I’m Jenny back with your Daily Comedy News. The topic Trump, Stephen Colbert said, what if he goes to jail, he could end up the head of a violent white supremacist gang, but in prison. This time, Colbert tagged it with the head of the arrangement. Foreign President Trump flew from Florida to New York and landed at LaGuardia Airport.

Yeah, he was smart. Nothing helps easy into prison like spending time at LaGuardia. Jimmy fallon same topic, Trump flew from Florida to New York, then he was arrested. He’s basically doing a reverse spring Break roy Wood Junior. I finally got a chance to host the daily show Ticket Guys long enough the upside with Trump’s DNA Now the NYPD can probably solve a bunch of cold cases from the eighties.

It’s a robust day again here at Daily Comedy News. So much news. I’ve kicked a bunch of stories to tomorrow. Tomorrow’s podcast is already really good, including information about a new Bombcat Goldthwaite album. But how can I not lead with Jim Gaffigan, John Mulaney and Mike Berbiglia doing a concert together.

Yeah, it’s not bad when Mike berbig is the third biggest act on a show. Gaffigan, Malany, and ber Biggs will team up for a benefit show at the Georgetown Scholars Program. This will happen May first at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Nick Carole will appear virtually. Jackie Novak will also perform, not virtually.

Jim Gaffigan says, really looking forward to the show. Insanely talented lineup for the great cause of the first generation college students. Yeah, that’s fantastic. On YouTube today the Big Jay Okerson Special. By the way, there have been over one hundred and fifty comedy specials already this year.

I’m going to get into that on the weekend. Whitney Cummings tweeted tweeted, what is twisted? Why don’t you edit that out, John, because I want you to hear that I said the word twisted. Whitney Cummings tweeted the roast of Burt Kreisher now streaming for free. It only fans TV slash Burt dot roast.

That’s not actually the url, it’s o f dot TV slash b e rt dash roast, don’t act like you didn’t have a bookmarked. Whitney says it’s bad crazy if I say so myself. Fave joke a question mark so streaming for free now, I haven’t seen it yet. I think it was ten dollars over the weekend. If it’s already free, it promptly didn’t do that well and she wants to get people to watch the next one would be my guest.

I’m not sure it wasn’t always free. Really not sure. I had ten dollars in my head for some reason. Who knows. Anyway, I’ve yet to see any reviews of it, so I don’t think that was widely watched other than the Reddit stuff I told you about yesterday.

Winning Cummings spoke to Yahoo and said, remember the last couple of years, it turned in like comedians had to be on moral high ground all of a sudden. It’s like we went from idolizing Richard Pryor, who on stage went into hitting his wife and doing crack, and now we’re like, this comedian didn’t post a black square at the right time. It should be canceled. It’s like, wait a second, hold on, So I think comedians right now We’re having so much pressure put on us to be perfect, and I think we just kind of want our mind. Everyone like we’re kind of scumbags.

Don’t put us on pedestals. We’re just here for entertainment. Why only fans? Whitney said, I went on there and it’s like teachers making money for school supplies and women wearing a bikini to pay for their mom’s surgery. And I’m like, that is so sad, and I’m like, that is awesome.

You know. I see girls on Instagram doing way more degrading things for free, and I’m hearing about these success stories and I’m like, oh hey, I’m totally in. Whitney added, there’s really no network at the moment where comedians feel like they can go for it and take risks, even on Netflix. That’s sort of the place we were all going.

And then with what happened with Chappelle, even though they didn’t necessari…

Seems like she didn’t like the Comedy Central roasts, so she put in some rules. She said, So I was like, what if we did the roast where no one ever got hurt? It never felt mean, I’m going to make all these changes that when I was writing the Roast, things that I wish would have happened, Like when someone is being insulted or roasted, I made a split screen so you could see them when the joke is hitting, so you could see that they didn’t get their feelings hurt. There’ll be no jokes about comedians being pedophiles or rapists if they’re not, because that’s not funny. I just made sure everyone was protected and nothing was going to feel cringey and sadistic.

I think it was Bob the drag Queen who went Whitney’s drag name would be Botox horse Face. Dan Levy gets up and says, here we are taking unprovoked shots at a talented woman. I feel like Alec Baldwin. That’s a great joke, coming said, we’re just long over to to go. Oh my god, the painful thing that happened.

All we can do is laugh and the things you’re not allowed to say.

---

And then you hear it, You kind of laugh, you scream, you look around, holy mo…

It’s a form of healing. Tony Rock, brother of Chris Rock, said that Will Smith did not call Chris Rock A few days after the famous incidents. Will Smith had said that he did. Tony Rock says that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.

I think like two nights later I reached out to Chris and he didn’t want to talk. That wasn’t true. Will Smith cast Tony Rock in the two thousand and five or Man at Comedy Hitch. Tony said he’s surprised that Will Smith never reached out to him either. He doesn’t owe me anything.

I just thought we were better than that. My phone number has never changed. I just thought i’d get a phone call one day, like, hey, let’s just you and I talk. It hasn’t happened. It’s I guess it’s not gonna happen just for laughs.

And Netflix have signed a three year comedy deal for three French stand up comedy specials. That’s neat. Netflix also did a deal with May Martin. I guess May’s special did pretty well for them. May has received a limited series order for it.

Tall Pines, a mystery thriller in which May Martin will star and show run. Tall Pines is set in a bucolic yet sinister town that sounds original that explores the inciduous underbelly of the troubled teen industry and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next. I feel like what I do here? Once’t you buy me a coffee? Oh?

No, it’s Wednesday? Why don’t you buy me a beer? Yeah, it’s brewery night trivia. Actually it’s the last trivia night because in the summer we’ve become a volleyball team, so this is our last appearance at trivia. So that’s a good night.

To buy me a beer. Go to buy me a coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News, click to buy me a coffee button, and then I will miss appropriate your funds and I will put it towards a beer at the brewery tonight. Thank you in advanced buy mecoffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News. My kind of headline from The Daily Beast? Are you ready?

The headline murder Mystery Too? Is Adam sandler crap comedy at its worst? Subheadline in all caps? Where are the laughs? Are people finally coming around at Johnny Max way of thinking?

The Daily Beast writes Sandler’s Netflix comedy output had a bad reputation even before this dreadful, jokeless sequel hit the streamer. Still, who would have thought the movie could really be this bad? Me Anyway? Murder Mystery too. They follow up that, as with so many Saidler efforts, feels like a ritzy vacation for its stars masquerading as a legitimate movie.

Written once again by James Vanderbilt, it dispenses about as many good jokes as its predecessor, which is to say none. I love this review. Sailor was wise in twenty fourteen to hitch his wagon and Netflix, considering that his increasingly slapdash happy medicine productions are far more appealing as living room distractions than as night out entertainments. Nonetheless, the fact that he’s soon reteeming with the Safty brothers that’s welcome news because of their prior collaboration Uncut Gems, which, as you know, no sarcasm, is the greatest the Adam Sandler films, legitimately great movie. Adam, please do more of that, please.

But the Beast writes it’s great that he’s working with the Safties because it means the star will temporary be prevented from making more drek like this. I can’t get enough of it. Drew Carey annoyed some people at the big famous satellite radio company. Well not the bosses, the listeners. Drew apparently hosts something called Friday Night freak Out, except last Friday, he used an artificially generated version of his voice to handle most of his DJ work, reading a script written by chat Gept.

At first, I was thinking, did Drew get really lazy and get caught? But apparently it was a bit. I heard the clip, and the clip clearly admits that it’s an AI reading an AI script, so he didn’t try to pull one over on everybody. Drew Carey said, I violated a rule from Radio one oh one. The reason FM stations and treasured radio stations still make moneys because people like the personality of the DJs.

You don’t have to be like a big boss radio guy and be phony. You can just talk. That’s what the listeners like Carry said. He got the message don’t do it again from sports Kedia. American comedian Randy Rainbow one over the internet after he released a parody song aimed at Donald Trump’s indictment.

Rainbow has uploaded a four minute video which begins with a fake interview between Trump and Randy Rainbow for a fake news channel. The video then cuts to a song put to the melody of Boogie Woogie Beautiful Boy of Company B some of the lyrics and I won’t even attempt he was a sleazy showbiz phony born in NYC who somehow won the White House over Hillary. I’m sure Randy Rainbow did it much better. I’m not even to attempt. The song also jokes about Trump looking like a butternut squash.

Let’s take a look at the Emailburne International Comedy Festival.

And now today’s problem with the website.

I started to load it on Chrome because that worked better yesterday, and I clicked on Thursday and it loaded the Wednesday schedule. So I went back to Safari and I clicked on Thursday and it loaded the Wednesday schedule. So I clicked on Friday, and it is now telling me that this is Thursday’s schedule. And I’m looking at the long version of the UURL and I’ve manually tweaked it so in the URL it is saying six April, So I think this is Thursday night’s lineup. But you’re either in Melbourne or you weren’t going anyway, and it’s just fun to talk about these comedy shows.

Let’s see what’s going on tonight. It’s Alice Fraser’s twist. The Edinburgh Guide calls it breathtakingly funny, relatable, meaningful and hilarious. Let’s take a listen. Hello.

I want to take a brief moment to pay homage to all of the real victims of the pandemic, which were the people who had just had their lips done and botox, had to hide their beautiful mouths behind a mask while struggling to express anything. Any parents in the audience, Yes, anyone given birth. It’s an incredible thing. You made a person inside yourself, out of yourself. Who’s going to be sad when you die or at the very least ambivalent.

Come on, that’s an amazing thing. If you if you’ve got the boobs and you’re doing the boob thing, then you get to be food again. Incredible. You’re not giving this enough credit, like when Jesus does it’s a big deal. And Christy Weebeck’s show is called a bit of fun, not much of a description.

It says, take a break from the doom scrolling, drag yourself away from Netflix and join your investie for a bit of fun. The Age called it a perfect choice. Let’s listen. Hello. I was in a supermarket recently and a small child yelled out at me, Hey, you look like a man, and I said, can you please such to my boss?

So it’s reflected in my pay Just boom, just just got him. I don’t even have a boss, you know, like in your face. In all four you’ll find the tea, coffee and some sas about the gender pay gap. I was in an uber recently in the driver said to me, I thought your name was Kirsty and I said it is and I thought this is going to be good and he said, ah, yeah, you’re right. I was just I thought Kirsty was a girl’s name, and there was not enough time to explained that gender is a social construct.

So I said it is a girl’s name and he said that sucks. Bro. And that is your comedy news for today. Father show for free on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. See tomorrow.

Hello, Way and Mark Francis, host of a daily podcast about the British royal family called Palace Intrigue.

The Shark Deck. I’m Jenny Mack with your Daily Comedy. He was very, very robust episode today and the last thing I’m gonna going to do and I’m trying to figure out how to do it. It’s a massive spoiler for a television show. But as soon as I tell you what show it is, you’re gonna be like, oh, I know what they did there.

I’ll warn you. But if you don’t want to be spoiled for any TV shows at all, how about I’ll do that. I’ll tell you all right, jump out now, we’ll do that. On Saturday, Dave Bautista, you know him as a UFC fighter, you know him from Guardians of the Galaxy. He announced a new Netflix comedy special.

It’s called I’ve never done this before. Let’s listen. Never done stand up comedy before, but Netflix paid me ten million dollars shown no interrupting cal move so at the end, but Stick gets heckled and he drags the heckler on stage and beats the guy up. What kind of comedy special is this? It was an April Fool’s joke, well done, especially with the production values on the Instagram joke.

Love it. Dave batistat Now let me ask you, could you actually make it?

Meanwhile, for reels, we have a new number one special.

I have watched Kyle Canaane’s new special on YouTube. Yes, I complained about the fifteen commercial breaks, and they did get annoying after a while, but I kept the remote in my hand. Kyle Canaane’s new special top special of the year. Let’s do a quick listen because a lot of it’s naughty and I can’t play too much of it. Said thank you for your service to a lift driver, more than I’ve ever said to anybody an actual military unifle.

As you could tell, I enjoyed the entire hour and a very strong closer. Kyle Canaine, well done. Currently number one. Do you want the updated rankings? Sure?

Why not? I haven’t even updated my document here. You can hear me type okay l E space ki n A n E. That moves Nate Bergatsi’s Hello World down to number two. Jay McBride now number three, Jim Jeffries number four.

Embargoed special that I’ve already seen is number five. What’s that? Johnny mac Oh? Yeah, I got a screener, but it ain’t out yet, and I’ve seen it. It’s number five.

It’s not quite as good as Jim Jeffrees and it’s a little better than Chris Rocket. Number six, who is it? You’ll find out as soon as I can tell you. And number seven the roast of mister Peanut. I know you think I’m insane when I say that.

Why don’t you go on YouTube and look at the roast of mister Peanut and you will see it is quite funny. I also watched May Martin special. It wasn’t feeling it. I tried. I got into it and I’m like, this is going nowhere for me.

If you like it awesome wasn’t for me, and then I skipped ahead because they knew they had addressed Dave’s Chappelle by name, and I’m like, all right, let me see what that part is. And it didn’t land for me. I was like, all right, you mentioned Dave and Ricky Gervais my name and not feeling it. The Last Laugh podcast caught up with May Martin and asked May about name checking Chappelle and Jervaise. May said, and I think this is better done than what’s in the special.

May said, I find it really mind boggling that these people that I grew up being such a fan of and who seem like these cool left wing warriors and counterculture people. I can’t really wrap my head around why they’re so fixated on, particularly trans women. But also I mean, when Chapelle got attacked on stage and the first thing he said was that was a trans man, I was like, what is happening? I find it really confusing, and it’s so personal to me and so much of my fan base as young queer people. So I’m always quite starkly confronted with these statistics.

At how at risk that community is. I don’t understand it. It’s such an at risk minority group. I don’t really know why there isn’t more uproar about publicly targeting them when the consequences are so obvious.

---

And then of course the comedians themselves complain about the consequences t…

Didn’t Louis C.K. Win a Grammy a couple of years ago. It’s crazy, but maybe it’ll swing back the other day. I don’t think Louis C.K. Did trans jokes.

He got in trouble for something else. But I digress. It’s crazy, but maybe to swing back the other way. And I would love it if those people were just a little more informed or open to learning, because some of the things they’re saying are demonstrably untrue. They’re scientifically not true.

Of course, freedom of speech is so crucial, but I don’t think you’ll be able to say things that are not true that are drumming up hate and violence. Big Jay Okerson Special Now. I thought it was coming out April fifth. The trailer says April fifth. The left button says out today.

Maybe they mean midnight tonight. I don’t know, but either today or tomorrow you’ll have a Big Jay Okerson on YouTube. I have not been able to find any reviews of the Roast of Bert Kreisher, and despite my jokes about sitting in the basement, I did not watch the Roast of Bert Kreisher. The trailer looks honestly to me, unwashable, like just trashy. The only discussion I’m finding of it is on Reddit, so from the subreddit your Mom’s House Podcast.

Some of the comments one the ending was so odd. It ends with everyone dancing on stage. But Keshin I Carly are also there. Somebody said, yeah, I got oddly awkward and uncomfortable. I’m surprised Whitney kept that in.

Another person wrote Whitney shoehorning in her gen Z friends, to which someone retorted, neither of those two I mentioned or gen Z. Yeah, Kesh’s close it to forty and Miranda’s in or her early thirties. All right, whatever. Next thread, the editing is so choppy. Yeah, it was terrible.

By watching Burt’s glass, you could tell they definitely edited out a lot. Next thread. I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would. Everyone had something I chuckled out, but that last fifteen minutes was effing rough and the editing was awful. A different thread was found in the stand up sub credits.

Some of the comments I tried watching. I like hearing good comics trash talk, but after the first five minutes I couldn’t stand Burt with his screeching fully miked totally ruined Jim Norton set, which was good. I just couldn’t stand listening to that squeal. Another comments about the editing. The editing was effing awful, to the point that it was distracting.

Norton and Tony did well. The rest were nothing special. When more, this was a disappointing fifty minutes of comedic content. All right, Burt Kreisher, backlash has absolutely started seeing a lot of it. Luis c K emailed his fan base over the weekend and Louis C.K.

At the Dolby, which you could purchase now for streaming and download at Louis C.K. Dot com for ten dollars. Although I said streaming, it actually says steaming. Perhaps a joke, perhaps a typo. Louis C.K.

Writes, Luis c K at the Dolbey includes a lot of material that I performed for the live stream from MSG back to the Garden, But it also includes fourteen minutes of new jokes that I didn’t do on that show, including a totally different closing piece of stuff. At the end, he pull like some other things, and then he writes, go here to buy Louis C.K. At the Dolbey now for ten bucks. Go to the Salt Lick in Austin, Texas. If you want good barbecue, go to France.

If you like French things from France, go to church. I feel like Jesus. Go to the basement if you need to feed Geralds, go to something else. If you want a thing. Thank you.

You’re a comedian, Louis c. K And did you watch Saturday Night Live reasonably funny episode? I laughed a couple of times, But did you see the news? So I was watching the news and I’m like, oh my god, Colin is bombing.

---

And then Jay got a couple of laughs.

They went back to Colin, and I’m thinking to myself, this audience is awful, not laughing at anything. Then somebody from the audience yelled out, you stink. At that point, Michael Jay revealed it was an April fool’s joke. Michael Jay had sold the audience not to laugh at any of College Jost jokes. The audience they played along, they did not laugh.

Jost was wondering if his mic wasn’t working. After the reveal, Shade sawd Jost, don’t worry, they’ll probably laugh at the next joke. Jost was visibly not shaken, but like he had the giggles and had trouble getting through the jokes, and then turned to Jay and said, that’s the meanest thing you’ve ever done. I’m covered in sweat. The laugh button found on another subrett it’s subreate a day here in Daily Comedy News.

This subrett it live from New York. User l sat Prepper two was at the taping and said, can confirm it was all legit. So we’re waiting in a room that his beers and soft drinks and water, and there’s a DJ playing sick music. Before we’re called for seating, Jay comes up to us sing he wants to play an April Fool’s joke, something that’s he had to be done on SNL.

And then he says, when Jost is on, we can’t laugh.

There was one small section at laugh and the rest of us were dead silent. The crowd erupted and laughter Jay and Jose was like, huh, it was really funny. When he cut on the U stink sounded like it came from the audience as far as I’m aware. When we cheered for him, he told us to not even dare, and that made people crack up hard. Everyone couldn’t stop laughing for a while.

I feel quite fortunate to have been part of this audience at ten out of ten amazing experience. I feel like what I do here, go to buy meacoffee dot com. Slash Daily Comedy News. And what are you gonna do there? You’re gonna buy me a coffee?

How do you do that? You can do a one time donation five bucks. You can join the two dollar club. That’s a two dollar monthly recurring thing. There are other priced heres.

I’ll shout you out. I’ll get a coffee from myself. Buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily Comedy News. Hey and Adam Sailor controversy.

Yes, CNN and Kennedy Centers show stripped of Trump jokes. Comics miffed from The New York Post, they say, we hear there was chatter backstage on March nineteenth that the Kennedy Center that CNN plans to be quote all over everyone’s unquote political gags. They heard that Chris Rock joked that it was romantic that Donald Trump allegedly paid porn star Stormy Daniels hush money so that his wife Mali Annia wouldn’t find out about their fling. That joke apparently taken out of the special. Chris Rock not pleased with the omission.

Deana Carvey impersonated Donald Trump and made jokes about Nancy Pelosi. Those jokes two disappeared. CNN says the jokes were cut out for time. You know, so the live show could be slashed by an hour to fit into its broadcast lot. Uh huh, yump m right.

Meanwhile, some reviews of Adam Sandler’s new movie, Murder Mystery two. Longtime listeners of the podcast know how much I enjoy a good Adam Sandler movie. Well, The Guardian gave Murder Mystery two one star. It’s not one star out of one. I don’t know how many it’s out of.

I think it’s out of five. But even if it’s out of two, that wouldn’t be a good review. I’ll spare you the details, but they say this crime caper has a certain frenzied energy, but it’s sloppily plotted, crass and so dumb you wouldn’t trust it to use cutlery unsupervised. Wow. The Hollywood Reporters headline was Murder Mystery two review Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston in Netflix sequel that lea there’s no room for laughs.

This film brings back the goofy dufus Adam Sandler that audiences can’t seem to get enough of. In the sort of harmlessly mindless comic vehicle that goes very well with takeout Chinese or pizza on a Saturday night. It’s also user friendly enough to clock in at a breezy hour and a half. Adam Sandler’s net worth estimated at four and twenty million dollars. I’m in the basement recording a podcast.

Artist Hub caught the Best of Comedy Zone Asia at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and they wrote, using the superlative best to describe any art form as problematic and this includes the inexact science of trying to make people laugh. Best of Comedy z Own Asia offers up five comedians. The quality of the delivery and the content of this mixed platter is mixed, with some jokes landing solidly while others not so definly. My mind froze on mixed platter? Is that some sort of food related Asian joke?

It’s not thought out or is that just a phrase they use in Australia Move On. Because of the pandemic causing disruption and postpone of touring, many performers were denied an audience and this makes blain why some of the material in the show feels a bit untested. That’s not good. Nonetheless, there are some good chuckles to be had from each comic because they range widely in topics, from the responsibilities of and detours from being a good Muslim and being raised in conservative Indonesia to the generation gaps between mother and daughter, the joys of new fatherhood, greati of centsorship in India, and the rivalry between Singapore and Malaysia. If you don’t want to commit to one unknown comedian for an hour, it’s prudent to see a collective show such as this one.

I agree. I’m pulling up the schedule on the world’s slowest loading website. That is, of course, the website for the Milburn International Comedy Festival. It’s still loading as I killed time here. Why don’t you edit this out, Johnny Mac, because that’s not fun?

Still loading, still loading Eventually, I will tell you who’s playing on Wednesday.

---

Now here’s an interesting fun fact.

Remember last week I couldn’t get one of the days to load. That happened again on the Safari browser, so I switched to Chrome and the Milburn International Comedy Festival website loads more quickly on Chrome. Do they not have Apple devices in Australia. I digress. Let’s see who’s playing on Wednesday night the class Clowns at National Grand Final.

Big Haughty title there. The search is on for Australia’s Funniest Teens, Australia’s National Secondary School Comedy competition and Kurch’s Talented Teenagers to unleash their comic voice through stand up, sketch, musical or physical comedy ninety minutes show at one in the afternoon. I wonder what the audience is like for these daytime shows. I mean, this thing starts so early. Ri l Jarn’s Return of the icelandic Oh, and it says play clip.

Maybe I should just do the play clip ones. You want to hear a clip? I want to hear a clip. We all have names that means something in my country. My brother’s name is Ulvus, it means wolf.

My girlfriend’s name is Linda, it means internet. We all have names that means something. For those of you who don’t know much about Iceland, I’ll tell you some facts. There’s three hundred and forty thousand people who live in Iceland. That’s it.

That’s the population. You know a country is small when you ask about the population and you get a number that include it’s tens of thousands of people, like you can’t even do like a rough estimate, well, three hundred thousand. No, no, don’t forget those forty thousand. That’s that’s one eleventh of the population. The society would collapse without those forty thousand people in.

Our main exports are fish and disappointment. We are pretty small economy, but we don’t have strength in numbers, but we do have it in statistics. We say we’re the best in the world per capita. Iceland’s biggest comedy star and first ever Netflix star returns to the festival. Expect Nordic observations on drumbeats, sleep, Parented, and much more.

Here’s another play clip one. Dean Simpson always was, always will be funny. Dean comes from a long line of funny buggers, a wise cracking deat, a cleverly cutting mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarn spinners. I’m Aboriginal, by the way. I know that I’d say that I’m not Indian, stop like I say it all the time.

But yet there’s still people in this crowd looking at me like I think he’d drive us heat. I didn’t come. I LARROI that’s my mom, that’s mom, that’s my people. I remember as a kid, my dad would take me out and would just do black fellow stuff. Right.

We would go ahead into the bush. We’d eat fruit, we’d eat berries, we’d eat nuts, we’d eat spam. Dad wasn’t a good hunter. The Adelaide Advertiser gave it four stars and said, Simpson is hilarious. You can elaborate a little.

All right, I’m going to spoil the hell out of a TV show. I can’t even say what show it is first because once I say the show, you’re gonna be like, oh, I know what it is. Okay. So anybody who doesn’t want to be spoiled for any TV show at all, get out. Now see you tomorrow.

Three two one all right, you’re still here. Now, I’m gonna tell you the name of the show. You have been warned. Are you ready? I’m about to spoil Party Down?

Three two one? Right, you’re still here. I’m gonna tell you what happened. Now. Once I said Party Down, you’re like, ah, I got that figured out.

Yeah, no surprise, Lizzie Kaplan did appear in the season finale. Yes, there wasn’t no way they were bringing Party Down Back without Lizziekaplan showing up. That just wasn’t gonna happen. I get she was busy, but of course she was going to show up. So her character Casey is doing a Pruss jucket for her show, The Stabilizer.

She goes in the back to grab a beverage. She sees Henry, that’s her love interest from the series from ten years ago. We see they’re still attracted to each other. The pr guy comes to get Casey to go do stuff on stage or whatever. As Casey starts to leave, she gives Henry a warm hug with a secret on the side.

She’s planning on quitting her show. Yes, is she going to leave a hit TV show to become a caterer In the upcoming season, we’ll see if they bring Party Down Back. It seemed like it a good buzz. Although being on the Starters is a channel, I don’t know if anybody actually watched it other than people who review things. I haven’t seen it yet.

One day I was going to sign in for free try and then cancel and I’m like, why don’t you wait until all eight episodes are up and then do it? So maybe I’ll do that this week. And that is your comedy news for today. Follow the show for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you get your shows. See tomorrow, Travel is Back.
