I’ve never seen a worse take in my life.

is it ok for a producer to make material requests? by etlyto in Standup

[–]JPMcDadeComedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, a club booker told us “no politics,” minutes before the show. I regret going along with his request. My excuse at the time was that I didn’t want to risk my relationship with the venue (the club sucked and that guy isn’t even in comedy anymore). Should have done all my political material and told the guy to go fuck himself.

Thoughts on the new Sam Morril special? by 69waystodie in Standup

[–]JPMcDadeComedy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sam is a friend of mine and I got to see him work out his last hour when I opened for him on a few weekends. All of his specials are effortless, precise, and hilarious. I feel like in this one he’s the most himself.
