In general, going to comedy clubs we pretty much always go to the late Friday show, as that has the rep of being the most interesting, least polished show where they try the new/weird stuff. In contrast, the early Saturday show is supposed to be the most conservative ‘I know this works’ show. Due to that ‘non refundable’ clause we ended up with tix to both the late Friday and early Saturday show for Adam Conover, and it was interesting seeing how the shows differed, improv startup based on local stuff, then clear winners, new jokes, then solid , and for Conover “one man show” material for the end. MC and feature were more all over the place, with the feature acting like he was bombing (he wasn’t) before dropping into a great bit on the friday show ranking apples (the fruit). Yeah it was this guy: applerankings.com. This was the second time we did both late Friday and early Saturday, the other time was Gilbert, who did completely different insanely aged material each night, which was great. Friday was like 40 minutes of “old Groucho” and I don’t think I've laughed harder in my life. Goddamnit we had tickets for a show he cancelled right as Covid started.Then he died, the jerk.

Gilbert's Old Groucho is one of the best impressions of all time.

If you buy it from his website instead of Amazon, you’ll get free shipping and a signed copy. https://www.samtallent.com/store/p/signed-copy-of-running-the-light E: it was free shipping when I bought it so I assume it’s the same. Forward by Kyle Kinane!

Though I'm so goddam spoiled by my Kindle now for reading, haven't read a "proper" book in a while.

If we’re doing books by comics I bought Liz Mielle’s Why Cats Are Assholes at one of her shows, and even for a non-cat-lover it was amusing. Ya’ll watching After Midnight? It’s nice to see so many working comics just doing jokes in a loose game show format, although nothing will ever replace Comedy Knockout in my heart. Or Bunk, my first exposure to Michael Che, who at the time my brother was raving about after seeing him at IIRC The Stand. drat that was a long time ago.

I was a huge fan of At Midnight but am just not feeling After Midnight. Though the episode where Adam Pally kept making fun of the name of the show was amazing. I think the biggest issue is that it's an hour long show. Really 30 minutes is enough for this type of show
