Ngl thinking abt a convo i had w my coworker n i nvr realize how deep i am in being a comedy nerd until i hear 'oh im not rlly into stand up anymore bc so much of it feels bigoted ' which like....i get the sentiment but bc i str8 up dont pay attn to mainstream dickbags i just think its p easy to find comedians with specials out tht are funny n not bigots? Personally bc i am v ... entrenched. I was one of thirty ppl watching alex english's n marie faustins random drunk insta live last week... So like ...do ppl want recommendations ? I started a rec list ages ago compiled from River butchers n cameron Esposito's old podcast Put your hands together but i dont think i ever published it n its outdated now. Maybe a list of specials? Bc thatd be easy to recommend

"We women like to think that we look cute when we're asleep. Well, I recently found out that I didn't while on vacation... When one of the bitches filmed me!"
The first time I draw Cobra and Sirque alone together and it's this.
I saw this quote from one of Gina Yashere's performances and I had to draw it out, because Sirque definitely snores and I can just tell her sleeping pose is gonna be weird af.
And there's no way Cobra is gonna forget that.

It's so fucking fucked up that like, for the fifth and final season, most of the main cast of Bob Hearts Abishola is recurring.
They have 13 members of the main cast. 9 of which are Black folks, including the CO-CREATOR of the show!!! (Gina Yashere) Only two of the 13 have not been dropped down recurring and that's the two leads (one white male lead, one Black female lead).
So sus of CBS.

So, I’ve been saying for a while that I’m going to buy a bunch of stuff once I get my first proper paycheque at the end of June. To be honest, there’s now enough stuff on that list that I should really cut some out, because I also have to pay my rent the next day, and while I’m excited to be making steadier money than I was before, it’s probably not enough for all of this (I’ve added a Hari Kondabolu album to my Bandcamp cart that has a Nato Green album and  Michael Legge audiobook). However, I decided to jump the gun this week anyway.
One of the things on my list to buy are Just For Laughs tickets, for the end of July. There’s a club set that features Alan Davies, Jamali Maddix, Jen Brister, and Josie Long (and a couple of other people I’m less interested in, though I’m kind of curious to see what Gina Yashere’s doing now), and I really can’t let that opportunity pass me by. I saw the same show last year, and they were all doing quite short sets (obviously, given the number of people on the bill), nothing where they have time to get into any depth and nothing I couldn’t see on a YouTube clip, so you’re basically just paying to be in a room with those people. But I’m happy to do that. I would pay a lot of money to be in a room with Josie Long.
That show’s going to run for four nights, none are sold out at the moment, I think it’s extremely unlikely that they’ll all sell out if I wait a week to buy the tickets, until after I get paid. So that’s fine.
But there is another show I really want to see, and it only runs for two nights, and I learned the other day that it’s in the same room where I saw Nish Kumar at this festival last year. It was a great room, a capacity of 128, and set up so the seats go all around the stage, which means there are only about five rows total, so quite a significant percentage of the audience gets into the front row. I, for example, got into the front row. One time, Nish Kumar laughed at my reaction to one of his jokes, then looked right at me and asked if I knew the guy sitting next to me (I did know him, he was my best friend who is an athlete and looked wildly out of place among the nerds and hippies who made up the rest of the room, yet had somehow ended up in Nish Kumar’s front row, and by “somehow” I mean I physically dragged him to Montreal with me), and in that moment, I knew what it must have been like to be one of those people who fainted at Beatles concerts in the 60s, due to being overwhelmed by the presence of their hero. It was so fucking cool.
So I’ve just learned that the one touring show I really wanted to see this year would be in that same room, and I worried it might sell out due to only running for two nights in such a small space, so I just bought the ticket on credit. And now I have it! I’m so fucking excited!!!
Tumblr media
Saw Nish Kumar in this room one year, and the next year, I get to see white gay Australian Nish Kumar!
Guys, it’s going to be so good. I’ve seen the videos of two other Tom Ballard hours (2017 and 2022) and they’ve both been very entertaining, the reviews for this latest show suggest it’s his best yet. Yes, reviews are largely bullshit and the star system is bullshit and you can’t reduce any complex art to a numerical value, much less one as incredibly subjective as comedy, but also, I’ve looked this show up and it’s been 4.5 or 5 stars across the board, including from some of the most prolific reviewing sources. More than that (seriously, comedy is very subjective so in a review, the description is more important than the number), everything I’ve seen written suggests that this show has Tom Ballard bringing together all my favourite things about his Bugle material and those earlier shows, and tweaking some of the stuff that I thought worked less well. I’ve seen it called mainly political with the personal woven through it, and viscous and energetically furious in a way that I think he does very well when he goes there and I wish he’d pushed it a little harder in his previous shows - and yep, that’s everything I want in Tom Ballard. Not to raise my expectations too high or anything, but I’ve looked this up and I think it might be everything I want in Tom Ballard. In a tiny room, which I think is good for any comedy, but maybe extra good for the intense kind of stuff that Tom Ballard (and for that matter, Nish Kumar) does, so you’re close enough to really feel it. I don’t want to raise expectations he can’t reach or anything, but this might be fucking amazing. And that is why I decided to secure tickets now. I’m so excited for this.
