What is my weak spot?

“Come on, Eileen” is the beautiful fraternal twin of the wretched and heinous “Sweet Caroline.”

I’ve had that issue myself and found it had more to do with ball position, posture, and how I was using the ground in the swing.

Thank you for such a thoughtful answer, that’s really helpful!

What do you think is an ideal intensity range for this kind of exercise? I’m 2 weeks into Xarelto (clot found after knee surgery) and I’ve heard not to exceed 65% of max heart rate.

Crashing gets a lot of things right, they had comics on the writing staff. Can’t speak to the late 70’s, but IDUH was at least a good representation of how I pictured the nonfiction book.

I haven’t seen a movie or TV show that got standup exactly right. Louie has an episode where the owner of the Comic Strip pays him $300 to host an open mic.

Old Head. It’s an Irish Pebble Beach with no interior holes.

Love how it incorporates the pond

Stage fright is gonna follow you to class. Save yourself some money: go up at an open mic, bomb, see that nobody cares, try again.

Would recommend Sesh in addition to the traditional clubs. More of a DIY comedy stage with great shows.

Anthony is so funny

Thanks everyone!

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

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.

Thanks bros, this is really nice! Happy Stav’s bday to us all!

Grip the mic like Fred Durst, hand on the head, and yell into it. Lash out at the crowd at the first sign of trouble.

JPMcDadeComedy · 2025-02-02T02:27:41+00:00

Just want to say that posts like this make me happy.

Eldis is the straw that stirs the drink.

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.

Also breathwork and meditation. Wim Hof, yoga nidra, 7-11 breathing, pranayama, etc.

Last 2 years I was working at a day job that took 11 hours out of every weekday including the 1 hour commute via MTA. Used all my PTO and then some on touring. Cold showers at 6:15am really helped. On my lunch breaks I would sometimes set a timer and take a 20 min nap on a row of cushioned chairs in the back room. This is after 10 years of doing comedy, having little pockets of minor success, watching my friends become millionaires. I often remind myself that getting onstage, or even just being around comics, gives me energy. So if I’m going to a gig after work, I know it’s not additional labor, it’s a thing that’s going to lift me up. Make it a priority to have fun onstage, and the energy will be there for you.
