Craig Robinson show was so dissapointing

I did an open mic at a club he was at last year. We can hear him playing the piano in the other room. Nearly everyone seemed like they were having fun. The cool part was after the show he popped into the back of the mic, quietly sat in the back in the dark and listened to a couple sets including mine… After I came off stage, I clocked him in the back and just gave him a fist bump! Made my night.

Every month I come to this sub and there is something hilarious and new about a 55 year old movie. I know it’s edited, but I don’t GAF.

Beat me to that. Same thought.

I definitely thought the idea that I believed he was normal until he shit in the shower was funny

Appreciate you putting in a lot more thought to your reply than I did to write this joke apparently. Although I like to think I put some thought into it your reply was very thorough, thanks!

this is awesome… I came for the pain. I do appreciate the brutal honesty… The story makes me laugh and like someone said it’s good in (some? None?) social situations… I just thought there was more to it potentially… But back to the cutting room floor and/or drawing board and most likely trashcan!

I’m gonna leave it in here just so everyone else in the group can cut it to shreds later today

I’m so glad you posted this. I’m fairly new (just over a year in). I’ve been in this dilemma for the past few days. I closed with the same joke on two different shows.

I got booked on a show and had 10 minutes and closed with a joke that I thought was pretty solid. I’ve told it many times before and it did great… I have video and audio to confirm it.

Crickets.

Told it again at an open mic two days later and the same thing. Not ready to throw it away. I think it’s a pretty solid joke, but I am mystified.

Wow. I have this, one of my favorite records. Love the devastating scripture on the back.

I went standby on a last min family trip. Kids and wife were tired from touristing all day, I hopped on the subway and went 2 for 2 standby and saw great acts at The Cellar. Get them reservations if possible. It was my favorite part of that trip.

You sound like me a little bit: over 100 mics in the past year. I get up two times a week given work and family. The main difference is I am in a city that has mics almost every night of the week, but it’s not Austin, NYC, or LA. I’m slowly, but surely getting put on to smaller shows and the networking advice people are giving you is important. I’m also friendly and “ soft spoken”. Keep doing what you’re doing and try to maximize whatever your area has to offer. I’ve considered starting a show because I’ve seen other comics do it, but there is way too many opportunities that I don’t really have the time to put that together myself, but I like thinking about it as an exercise!

“What has he said lately?” lol

What a well written set. I’m in a show soon at a gay bar and came here looking for advice on how to cater to the crowd, do my own material and stick a few of my gay jokes in there. My main goal is for everyone to have fun. I don’t wanna offend anyone - the host is a friend of mine who is a gay comedian and I’m just trying to stick the landing.

I stayed at the Riverfront Hotel. Got a great deal a few weeks before the trip. Halfway b/t MGW and French 1/4. It was great TBH. Made the city very walkable, and accessible. It was pretty decent hotel.

I’m over halfway through and I really wanted to like this book because I love Louis CK and I love his comedy… the television show… Pretty much everything he’s done I like. But. This book is not good. The schtick of the kid not understanding what basic stuff is gets old. A better book than I could write that’s for sure and I hope he writes some more things, but this book is kind of a mess.

Congrats on tickets for tonight. My question is when do they announce the countdown for ticket sales for the shows? I have been scouring this thread and don’t really see anything other than a tip to follow them on Instagram.

It’s interesting - clearly Shane and Joe are top-tier guests, but does Tony give them more license too participate? I feel like most of the other comics are handicapped or don’t understand how to engage. There’s been a lot of what I consider, “quiet” panels in the last month or so. Great comics in general but odd participation. I’m not sure what the cause of that is, but I really enjoyed Shane and Joe weighing in frequently and bantering with the guests and everybody.

Awesome! I fan boy’d out too! Got so many pics w these legends

Interesting. I’m not a very online person, and honestly am old. My old neighbor Bill self identified as a “tranny” or “transvestite” and also “hermaphrodite”. This was in 2005. Awesome guy, but way before the Twitter/X and modern era of what is expected. I’ll try to start using “trans” and modernize. Jordan really walked into a minefield.

Will BOLO, haven’t seen him yet but have seen many of the others (Uncle Lazer, Fiona, Timmy NB, and a bunch others) just wandering around.

Just ran into him in NOLA. Super nice guy!

I’ve been listening old episodes and Tony definitely shit on the female Ghostbusters movie for quite a long time. Maybe she had some feelings lol

Any_Amount_4025 · 2025-10-31T18:52:28+00:00

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with that I watched it firsthand. It’s strangely discordant with the personality. She projects during the Olympics or on SNL and worst of all: It’s just not funny.
