Somebody gave him poo poo over a transphobic joke on Veep. He pointed out he didn't write the joke, and that his character is supposed to be a dickhead. Somebody asked him why bother to address a concern from somebody with so few followers, and accused him of attention seeking, he basically told the guy he was an rear end in a top hat. It should be noted that both him and the initial questioner seemed to be fine with one another by the end of the discussion. It was just the one guy who was still salty. I don't think he came off vindictive. Defensive, maybe.

My good folk, is Owen Benjamin any good? I don't particularly like going by clips on Youtube because I think most standup works poorly piecemeal, anybody seen him live? I'm gonna be in Minneapolis on a weekend he'll be performing at the club in the Mall of America.

The Berzerker posted:JFL42 is coming up again in September, the line-up is really good this year. The headliners are Ali Wong, John Mulaney, Tim & Eric, Bill Burr, Tom Segura, and for some reason the My Favorite Murder podcast. I've gone with Mulaney but will probably pick up a ticket for Ali Wong. I'm not getting a Tim & Eric ticket because I'm seeing them during the fest for some other day time thing. I watched the MFM people do a live show with some of the Cracked After Hours folk and it was good and cool. Perhaps they'll have some comedians join them.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Hey, everyone should watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, if you have Amazon Prime. It's a witty, wonderful show about a Jewish housewife who becomes a stand-up comic in 1958 New York City, and it's hilarious and awesome. It goes a bit into the history of stand-up (Lenny Bruce is a character in the show), and it's funny as hell. The actress, Rachel Brosnahan, doesn't have any stand-up background, but she does an amazing job. Did they get anybody interesting to play Bruce?

Andrew Dice Clay would be a good example, too. He got really loving tired of doing the dirty limericks and the cigarette tricks and all that entailed, I even remember him ending up on a sitcom where he ran a record label in the 90's where he made a big deal out of removing Dice from his name. He can't get away from it, though. George Carlin got to a point where he HATED doing the Drill Sargeant bit, because whenever variety shows would contact him, he found he only had a set amount of material he could do for TV (S&P being where it was at the time), so he'd do variations of it, like the Drill Sargeant on the Mayflower, for instance. Jim Jefferies, also. He had a bit in his newest special where, as a birthday present, Mariah Carey booked him to play the birthday party of the fella she was dating (some billionaire, don't remember his name). And he was just doing material he thought would do well, and in the middle of it, the guy realizes who Jim is and why he was booked, and basically demanded he do the gun control bit. Jim figured he might not get paid if he didn't so he went along with it. I think Sam Kinison might have ended up in a similar situation, had he not passed. It seems like screaming about women had almost become a set part of his act at that point. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Apr 6, 2019 |
