Jesus Christ. Scratch Metzger off the list of upcoming stand-up specials I'm looking forward to.Declan MacManus posted:"...i choked her. Not really hard, but definitely criminally." "On other hand, who thinks it's okay to burn my stuff because I was late. gently caress you bitch." Seriously, I'm honestly appalled. I really liked his first album and assumed he was always playing up what a lovely person he was. This is like finding out Anthony Jeselnik really does some of the horrible stuff in his stand-up. I can admit when I was wrong-- and I was dreadfully wrong about Metzger. edit: Christ, I searched "Kurt Metzger choke" and found a whole bunch of poo poo. Metzger calling a bunch of people, and I quote: "niggerfaggots" I feel dirty just having typed that. escape artist fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Jul 1, 2013 |

Just make sure you tell the comics where you're going to be and where to expect the light. First time I ever performed the host forgot to do that and he was dancing around the whole venue trying to get me off, because I did twice my time. I'm nearsighted and didn't notice him at all. Time loving flies when you go up there, 5 minutes feels like 2 minutes. I wish some places would just invest in a red light, because a lot of the times it's people holding up cell phones, which is tough to see regardless of your vision. Oh, and don't be a dick. That sounds like a mean jape, but it's not. Some hosts are real assholes and some are really cool and friendly. escape artist fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Jul 3, 2013 |

Mordecai Sanchez posted:I'm late but Colin Quinn: Long Story Short is one of the best things on Netflix. It's not stand-up, but a hilarious one-man show about the fall of all the great civilizations throughout history. Definitely picking up tickets for his show about the Constitution when it swings into town.

I can vouch for the hilarity of all but 3 or 4 of them. Funches will be the best. Che and Brauhnohler will be amazing, too. Just Youtube some clips. Rachel Feinstein's album "Thug Tears" is a good one. I just hope it's new material on her Half Hour. Also, a few of those folks did sets on Adam Devine's House Party.

Ariza posted:I tried to watch that show because I used to like Workaholics but I turned it off after ten minutes and then forgot that it existed. Are there any particular episodes that are worth watching? The sketches are bad, but I assume the reason they exist is to pull some of the Workaholics audience in so they can see new comics. It's a good idea for attracting new people, but it's annoying for people who just want to watch the stand-up. I fast-forward through all of the sketch stuff and just watch the sets. I've seen some very good stand-up on there. Mordecai Sanchez posted:It was a decent idea to mix sketches about Adam's party with the stand up, but it ends up cutting too much into the comics' time to really see some good sets. You got 22 minutes divided by three, then add in the sketches and you got these truncated sets where everything feels off because of the editing. Your average late night set is only 4 or 5 minutes. So, getting 3 per 22 minute episode is actually pretty good. Also, Michael Che is gonna be the first person to do a stand-up set on Seth Meyers' Late Night show. Gonna be a good year for him. I think he's only been doing stand-up for 4 years-- he just does it constantly, and thus has grown much more rapidly. escape artist fucked around with this message at 10:48 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Apoplexy posted:There's a list of stand-ups a mile long that I absolutely love, but Kurt Metzger makes me laugh the absolute hardest. I just wish he had more than one CD out, because it's SO good. To see him with Amy must be loving awesome. Apoplexy -- in the mean time, you can check out Kurt's podcast with Sherrod Small called RaceWars. I know the name makes it sound stupid, but it's actually incredible. A good one to start off with is either called Blood Quanta or Black Baby Slippers. I can't remember the final title. escape artist fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Feb 22, 2014 |

There's a lot more to Kurt Metzger than that silly mudslinging article from the radical feminists. I met him one month ago today, and I could not believe how sweet he was. "Consummate professional" is not what I expected to describe him as after I met him. Super cool dude. His new special comes out in May. You'll note that the mudslinging article was written by the same hivemind that attacked Patton Oswalt for not criticizing other comics about rape jokes. That's right. Not for making rape jokes, but for being the voice of reason (re: Boston Marathon bombing) and then not telling comics how to do their job. Kurt is a feminist. He just tackles a lot of issues other people won't touch. Check out his podcast Race Wars with Sherrod Small. It's hilarious, and a great public forum. Also, I agree with the poster who said the Chris Distefano thing made me sad. There's a Kickstarter for for a Mike DiStefano documentary, but it's got 50 days and like $500 of its $75k goal.

^^ Sorry I didn't call you by name; I was just too lazy to scroll when I was editing that post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-i5ADmdO4E Mike's image is used in the logo of one of the best comedy clubs in NYC -- The Stand (not Stand-up NY). Check it out: http://www.thestandnyc.com/shows/ Tomorrow night they've got: Judah Friedlander, Kurt Metzger, Big Jay Oakerson, Pat Dixon, Chris DiStefano (speak of the devil), Damien Lemon The night after that: Pete Davidson, Seth Herzog, Adrienne Iapalucci, Judah Friedlander, Jay Oakerson, Ali Wong, and More! XIII -- for what its worth, I've heard that the Kickstarter is going to be redone with extra promotions. So there's still a chance. I'm sure it will happen, eventually. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1991723087/support-the-mike-destefano-documentary escape artist fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Mar 21, 2014 |

caligulamprey posted:Now that there's a local Comedy Scene in Portland, Bridgetown has been concentrating on getting more locals rather than big names for the last couple years, so if you're banking on super recognizable names, you might want to go with L.A. instead. I've gone to all of them except the first one and just spend the entire four days walking around in a comedy daze. Can anyone link me to the Bridgetown lineup? Never mind. Found it. Yeah, this is the one I thought it was. I don't see a lot of local Portland comics on there. Unless local just means "Pacific Northwest", then there are a few more. Lots of NYC people on the lineup. Def. check out Adrienne Iapalluci if you get the chance. Her debut set on Letterman was so good that he invited her to the couch. Her pregnancy/chapstick joke is one of my favorites. escape artist fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 25, 2014 |

Holy poo poo. It's pure sociopath. No remorse whatsoever. I'm legitimately shocked.

skeletronics posted:I watched The Road Dog starring Doug Stanhope. Thought it was excellent. It's about comedy, but is not a comedy movie. It did get a couple laughs out of me, as well as some actual tears. I'd heard Stanhope say in a podcast that if you've read Sam Tallent's book Running the Light, it's essentially the same story and it is. (That book is also excellent, incidentally.) Stanhope was incredible in that episode of Louie about the suicidal comic. I look forward to seeing him in a full-length feature. I'll check it out soon and post my review. Help a goon out!

I get the feeling that Lewis was on the cutting edge of certain material such as being in recovery from alcoholism and bipolar disorder (then called manic depression) only know him from late night shows and Curb Your Enthusiasm and when I was younger I never quite "got it" but now I think he's pretty hilarious, at least for someone who was older than my dad.
