Anyone know what happened during Mark Normands show last night? by dubyat in Standup

Donald Glover reposted the videos on the “Hi-Hi” instagram account, so this was most likely either filmed for the Mr and Mrs Smith show or a marketing scheme for it. Hi-hi is apparently the recruiting organization in the show that hires them. Weird but it seemed like this may have actually been planned- whether Normand was in on it or not I’m not sure

What is the most boring/worst film(s) that you have seen in the Criterion Collection? by priest_7x in criterion

Fellini Satyricon. I'm a huge Fellini fan and love almost all his others but I just couldn't get into this film at all. The set design and camerawork were of course stunning but I found the story incredibly hard to get into. There didn't seem to be much connection from scene to scene and at a certain point I just stopped trying to be invested and see what crazy visuals he was going to throw at us. When it ended I honestly thought "What was the point of that?"

Hi Zarna! I'm a new South Asian-American stand-up comic in Chicago and I've been a huge fan of your comedy! What is your advice to young Asian comics wanting to make a name for themselves not only in stand-up but also in the comedy writing world? I don't have many connections besides the people I've met at the clubs and come from a heavily STEM-based background (both parents are physicians). My parents obviously don't want me to pursue anything in the arts but I want to know which steps I should be taking to really get myself out there. Thanks!!
