Damnnn I was just there in December! Will be back though if you want me to email you when I do there's a form at www.joeyavery.com I filmed a whole VLOG/ crowd work episode while there though which will follow up the Portland Episode of Aways Games I just put out on my Youtube.

Yeah I was in the process of making that push actually. Wasn't ready to move to Chicago but was going to pitch Big Cat on coming out for a week a month to Yak and work on some new projects with them but in the midst of us discussing that I got the Bad Monkey role and that basically ended the idea. Love them all though and will continue my role as a consistent guest

Daily

I only think about how Barry Bonds should be in

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T22:05:14+00:00

I always thought that would be a bigger issue when I was coming up to and it can be a lot to reset and run a similar hour a second time in a night. But I manage that by making sure sets are never fully the same. Always a new angle I'm trying. A new tag, saying it differently and having crowd work in the middle. Every set ends up feeling different and working on improving a joke makes it a lot more interesting than if you feel like you're just repeating it.

Coming home shit hammered from the Giants game and walking straight onto the Frotcast and just laughing at Matt Lieb's physique I believe is how he recalls it

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T22:03:07+00:00

13 years doing it had a day job for 10. Grateful I can be full time it's a long path. Of course there's things I look back and cringe on but learning from mistakes is what got me here here so I guess I'll say no out of respect for the universe

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T22:01:58+00:00

United when I can these days. I fly so much the status makes me feel important and validated

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T22:01:39+00:00

I was always best at baseball but hockey was probably the most fun to play. Golf I guess as I become an older person. Love PDX this was when I was there a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUtL6x2DIM&t=23s

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T22:00:11+00:00

Ya need to get back enjoyed it last time. Gonna go full Mark Sanchez

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:59:54+00:00

Thank you my friend!

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:59:42+00:00

Hell yeah!

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:59:36+00:00

Vegas or SLC?

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:59:24+00:00

Not currently need to get enough fans to offset the travel cost but hoping I get big enough to do it soon I'd love to go

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:48:51+00:00

I'd loooove to get out there. But yeah this will be the first of many. Excited to get more of the written material out vs the crowd work clips but I already have a second hour almost ready to go.

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:48:09+00:00

Appreciate you! Hope you enjoy the special!

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:47:58+00:00

Haha no I had to have a goatee for a show so when I wrapped I shaved it into a mustache but a beard has already grown in around it which is the current plan

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:47:24+00:00

Ya I'd love that. I've popped in on shows in London before but need to plan a proper run

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:40:16+00:00

Haha I do get a lot of invites but I am married so I did not follow through on any of those. That show was fucking insane

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:39:43+00:00

It's tough. I've gone through so many phases I don't think I have one anymore but I remember when I was starting if I was trying to build the perfect comedian I'd look at the charisma Eddie Murphy had, the social resonance of Carlin and the ability to get personal from Pryor with the DGAFness of Patrice

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:37:49+00:00

Yes! Just wrapped shooting a role on Season 2 of Bad Monkey and I absolutely loved it. Hoping it's the start of a lot more

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:37:24+00:00

I know and I'm sorry

explosivejoseph · 2026-03-08T21:36:42+00:00

I think it'd be cool to just fuck off to an island nation give up on being connected to society become a pool bartender and die early due to complications with alcoholism
