I've never actually heard Brendan Schaub's standup. I just assumed he was loving terrible because people in these threads kept saying so. Is he actually bad? I feel like Showtime doesn't give specials to actually bad comedians.

Oooon the other hand, I just thought of Amy Schumer, who is the most blatant and unfunny joke thief I have heard in years, and she keeps getting shows.

Also in the B Leagues this week, Tony Gravely knocked a dude out by dropping him on his head.

We don't know, he's been working on his hour for the last 3 years in LA. He recently had a comedy tour, but he's got no body of work online yet.

edit: not comedy-related anyway, there's plenty of footage of him getting knocked out online

I may have been mixed up, then. I thought goons has commented on his actual standup.

he had a YouTube quick profile thing where they showed a couple minutes of stuff, like him wondering why he quit fighting then showing a picture of him being knocked out.

Some reviews from elsewhere on the internet:

quote:

The audio of his Wilbur show in January was uploaded to YouTube (since been taken down).

I managed about ten minutes of it. Seemed to be more story telling of his journey from college back up fullback to UFC to comedy, being a b b beast of a dad and fashionista all mixed in with a few Adam Sandler catchphrases and a gadoooooosh.

quote:

I went to his show in Calgary a few weekends ago, It was so unfunny and forced cringe . Dude is not a comedian on the level he is portrayed by himself and others to be on.

quote:

Its not stand up, its story telling. Its still a comedy show, but he doesn't do stand up, he tells stories, examples like him fighting travis brown, and his ex-girlfriend watching him get knockout, getting called by dana white for fights, and some other ones. They are all exaggerated , with him stopping to tell you how he was feeling at that moment, using one of his catch phrases, making ever situation seem like its the biggest thing in his life, only to be topped by the very next event. His opener was better than him, and his set was like 25 minutes max.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hFUe4Tg0Cw

At the start of this video there is like a minute of his act where he calls himself the CM Punk of comedy and shows a slideshow

Schaub is best with other people. See him and Theo Von, and it's loving hysterical. He has a good personality for radio, but I can't imagine his standup is THAT great.

Two things I think are safe to say:

1: He's in as a partner on the promotion, and is getting a significant portion of the back end

2: Yakuza

God bless them.

Also man it’s nice to have all that FITE credit stashed away.

I wonder if they’ll charge significantly more for it.

You will be able to gauge precisely how broke Floyd is by how much the rules allow Tenshin to kick him in the loving face.
