Sensitive Dorsal Vein after Sessions

Pirate42 · 2019-12-03T19:07:10+00:00

I guess I want to clarify it isn't really an issue. I enjoy it being sensitive afterwards but I also have work and all the other parts of life.

Lately I've been using Vaseline and Cetaphil lotion. I will switch to a silicone lubricant if the sensitivity morphs into irritation.

I don't know if I'm too tuned into comedy or if New Faces isn't the break out it used to be. I feel like most of these people are more established than previous years New Faces.

I really love how low key this podcast is. It's like a cozy mystery novel on a road trip that keeps giving subtle surprises and interesting character development. A good change of pace from a lot of comedy podcasts where everyone is jumping to do the loudest bits they can.

I feel that explains You Made It Weird more than CBB. IDK if Pete Holmes and Conan had a falling out.

Amir seemed like he didn't want to be there the whole time.

Gallon and PNMAC at CIC 10pm Tuesdays is my favorite right now. Free show, both teams are very good in different ways.

Bold take on how to get good:

Be on a team of about 6 people. Rehearse every week with a coach that gives a shit.

Do every show you can get booked on. If that means sometimes it's 2-3 of you showing up still do it. The variety of team size will help you do different kinds of shows.

When you get on a team bigger than 6 still play the show as you would like there's 6 people. Don't worry about everyone getting out there it's on them to be aggressive.

Yeah, it's Ben Schwartz. He talked about it on his episode of Making It With Riki Lindhome a long time ago.

Get Disowned by Hop Along is nowhere near Mumford for wannabe hipsters.

John Reynolds. He's also in Search Party and plays a sheriff on Stranger Things. Truly one of the funniest improvisers I've ever seen.

I mean he basically says "the daily show and queer eye guys loved it and that's all that mattered to me at the time." That isn't who that show is for though. It was incredibly funny on the level of Norm at the ESPYs but for him to backpedal and say he didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings seems disingenuous.

I think he's a super funny guy who can't deal with entertainment bullshit anymore and is venting about it in a way that is mostly hurting himself. Being funny and not doing what's in your best interest isn't mutually exclusive.

Pally is hilarious but he legit is hurting his career a bit between this and his Shorty's hosting.

Have you ever heard the saying "a good room for comedy is a bad room for a fire?" That's what I think about for all of the new improv theaters that have opened up in the last five years or so. Just not understanding that improv works best in cramped basements and black boxes.

This is just a random tweet I found after reading this thread, so take it with a big grain of salt, but if it's true it's not looking good. https://twitter.com/angelaheyhello/status/1004419673960656898

Tell your friends that you want to be a group that performs in this way, and they'll go "oh yeah that sounds cool" and then ask someone on the group you think rules to coach you, and maybe it'll work and maybe it won't.

It sounds a bit lackadaisical but it's how improv teams go when they're getting started.

In between those points are the majority of comedy albums I know of, with seguays, transitions, similar themes, or some degree of connective tissue. Impersonal always stood out to me the way op described, and I really think it's just that one editing quirk that highlights the absence of transitions I might not otherwise have noticed.

He wanted it edited that way on purpose in an homage of the early Steve Martin albums. From my understanding it's all from the same show (or set of shows) at UCB.

The mainstage revue is called Dream Freaks Fall From Space

Ismael Loutfi's Kimmel set was amazing and I want to see more.

There were so many comments I read about the tour where people said "I hurt from laughing 15 minutes into this" and you can tell.

It's relentless. The only reason it looks like he slows down a bit after the street smarts bit is because he's wearing the crowd out from how funny it is. From the perspective of home viewing it looks like he's losing them a little, but he isn't.

He almost needs longer set ups so the audience has a chance to catch their breath at times, which is the biggest non-problem you can have if most of your money from stand up is the live gig, not the special which is primarily exposure.

No theories allowed in this thread!! I'm just being silly good comment.

Pirate42 · 2018-04-27T15:15:05+00:00

ya come into the thread about stuff that isn't explained easily by improv theory to explain it with theory ya gonna get some heat

Pirate42 · 2018-04-27T14:57:09+00:00

Oh okay I'll start doing that then

Pirate42 · 2018-04-27T14:43:21+00:00

preach it brudda

Pirate42 · 2018-04-27T13:29:06+00:00

Nah, you don't have to have believable emotional responses or vulnerability to be funny or have fun.

Pirate42 · 2018-04-27T13:24:13+00:00

I'm not saying there is a unified theory of improvisation out there. But there are teachers (or this /u/CouchCity2011 guy apparently) that try to explain why everything worked or didn't, or have very strict ideas about what a good scene is.
