I just watched James Austin Johnson’s trailer. I hated it. Now I think the special is going to be good, but the trailer I hate. I will play for you on the audio podcast at some point this week, but boy, I really can’t stand this when they just announced it. It will be out August thirty.
First, it’s called Heal. Yeah, with the apostrophe there. I’m just checking on my screen to make sure that that’s not like a crumb. But it’s not Helliah. It’s Heliah.
And in Heliah we see James Austin Johnson performing at a variety of venues, from the Den Theater in Chicago to Cobbs in San Francisco, to Zenies and Nashville. The trailer says James Austin Johnson has one year, no wait, one hour to change comedy forever, or he will be chemically castrated. They also announced this from Comedy Dynamics. I don’t know why they waited till Monday afternoon to announce that Dana Dute has a special coming out on Tuesday. But there you go.
Yes, I am a falafel. Phil will be on Prime Apple TV wherever you get your stuff tomorrow In Yes I Am falafel Phill, Dana Dude talks about post break up, fitness, foody culture, dating, family, and the absurdity of becoming a minor celebrity to children as he chases adulthood and Hollywood validation. One Disney Channel role keeps following him fulfilled from the show Kicking It. I must be too old for that one. I’m sure some of you are like, yeah, everybody knows kicking It.
I have no idea what we’re talking about, but I’m been familiar with Dana Dude’s comedy for twenty five years, so the big one, and maybe I’m just getting a little old mad about this. Christina pee and again, I wish you and Tom Siguori, who wish you both well. But here’s what Christina Pea has decided to do. The Comedy Mothership on Wednesday is hosting the Comedy Dating Show. The show promises that comedians will quote shoot their shot with Christina pe for a chance at love.
I don’t know vantishes to me. It feels too soon. I get how comedy works, I get it. This just feels a little soon.
Also feeling a little soon is the title of Amy Schumer’s new movie Ready for …
It’s called Best Divorce Ever. Yikes. In Best Divorce Ever, we follow Clarissa played by Ammy Schumer and Franklin, who, after twenty years together, decide they’re done with marriage, but not with each other. Determined to pull off the world’s most amical divorce, they throw an untying the Not party and eagerly embrace their newly single lives. It sounds like they’re making the Christina and Tom Zigura move.
Oh boy, congratulations to Maggi. Comedian Nate Praghatzy, as the Daily Beast loves calling him every single time. He has set a Guinness World Record for most tickets for a stand up comedy tour, breaking the record held by who. You won’t guess. I’ll tell you in a minute.
So whose record did Nate Pergetzi break? I’ll tell you in a second. Nate’s Big Dumb Eyes tour has sold approximately two man six and fifty four tickets. So you can tell the Daily Beasts hole Maga comedian thing is really really hurting Nate’s career. People are just so offended that he went to a UFC fight at the White House that he’s nuts.
He I mean, come on, all right, the previous record was held by who, Jeff Dunham. You wouldn’t have guessed Jef that I could give you three hours. You’d never come up with Jef Dunham. Jeffdunham sold one million, nine hundred and eighty one thousand, seven hundred and twenty tickets across three hundred and eighty six venues across thirty five months and eight days. Nate’s tour across two million, just sixteen months and ten days, across only one hundred and twenty eight venues.
So we’re comparing red apples and yellow apples or something. I don’t know, but anyway, congratulations to Magnet comedian Apraghassie. He’s got the new record. And yes I did get an aircut all right, audio podcast every morning, and I’ll keep doing these little casual things in the afternoon until life gets in the way. See you tomorrow,
