00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.679
Caloroga Shark Media have a new year. I'm Joenni Mack
2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.880
with your daily comedy news, a daily briefing on stand
3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.199
up comedy comedians in the comedy industry. Which is a
4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:17.960
sentence you would say if you were goosing the spot
5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.800
on fy Algorithm. But I don't have time for that
6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.000
right now, because I want to share with you deadlines
7
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.600
twenty stand ups to keep an eye on in twenty
8
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.199
twenty six. Yes, we have made it to twenty twenty six,
9
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.519
and we must keep an eye on these twenty stand
10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.600
ups according to Deadline. Now, before I look at the list,
11
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.039
just want to point out Deadline is an industry trade.
12
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.280
And I'm saying that because along the way I noticed
13
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.840
that they wanted to let you know which agent represented
14
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.679
which comedian, which I don't care about at all, like zero,
15
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.200
no interest in that. But this is an industry trade.
16
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.439
So I'm not saying the list is bad, but I
17
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.679
am saying it is possible, perhaps maybe that it could
18
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.520
be possible hypothetically that Deadline has a relationship with these agencies,
19
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.560
and you know, agents were on the phone be like, hey,
20
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.560
you know who somebody you should keep an eye on
21
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.000
is Joe schmoe like, it's possible if you understand an
22
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.879
infinite universe, right, there's just an infinite combination of things
23
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.000
that could happen, And if you understand how infinity works,
24
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.200
in one of the multiverses, that could have happened, and
25
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.400
we might be in that multiverse. Now, mathematically, this is
26
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.519
a straight up list where the agents didn't influence the
27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.719
list at all. But mathematically, if you understand infinity, there
28
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.200
is a statistical chance that we are in the one
29
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.680
multiverse where that took place. I'm just saying now that
30
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.239
we've established this deadline rights. As was the case last year,
31
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.319
our focus was on strong joke writers with original voices.
32
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.760
Well that's good at a time where there are plenty
33
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.640
of incredibly successful digital creators in comedy who also do
34
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.439
stand up. We chose to focus on artists who are
35
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.480
stand ups before all else, all right, I like it.
36
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.560
We considered neither comedy groups nor comics who have had
37
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.640
the benefit of a game changing opportunity like Saturday Night Live.
38
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.400
We also tried to avoid stand ups who have featured
39
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.400
repeatedly on other lists, because what's the point of regurgitating?
40
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.599
All right? In alphabetical order, they list Vittorio Angeloni. I'm
41
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.359
going to say, great pick. He is one of two
42
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.360
killer Irish comics who have made the list. I have
43
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.479
cn him with my own eyes. Now, I've been keeping
44
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.879
an eye on him because I'm of Irish descent, so
45
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.800
I always find Irish comedians interesting. Plus he's Irish and
46
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.560
his name is Vittorio Angeloni, not exactly Seamus. O'Reilly, you
47
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.800
know what I'm saying. So he's been on my radar.
48
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.319
Plus I saw him up at Montreal last August last year.
49
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.560
As they say, Now that's twenty twenty six, a twenty
50
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.159
twenty five JFL new face Angeloni. He grew up in
51
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.639
Belfast and began working as a stand up after moving
52
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.439
to London after a period training as a classical musician.
53
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.439
He's really good. You should check him out. Mary Beth Barone,
54
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.240
all right, she's been on our radar. We talk about
55
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:48.240
Mary Beth Barone sometimes. Deadline says a multi hyphenate on
56
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.879
the rise. If you understand how infinity works statistically, in
57
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.800
one of the multiverses, an agent would have said, yeah,
58
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.560
you should call her a multi hyphenate because she is
59
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.400
a multi hyphenate on the rise. Mary Beth Barone ain't
60
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.719
a deal for Netflix to release her first hour long
61
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.759
comedy special, Galaxy Brain, which she'll tape in New York
62
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.919
City on March nineteenth, happens to be ripped by the
63
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.080
same agency as Vittorio Angeloni. That's weird, all right. Raffi Bastos,
64
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.960
I'm not familiar with Raffi, a Brazilian American stand up
65
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.159
considered a pioneer of his home country's modern comedy movement.
66
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.719
Raffi Bostos is ready for his breakout state side after
67
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.159
hitting YouTube with unfamiliar territory. Actually, I think we did
68
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.280
talk about him, but it was twelve months ago. I
69
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.479
can barely remember what I had for breakfast. Once recognized
70
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.919
as the most influential person on Twitter by the independent
71
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.080
research film Twittaalizer currently has a follow up nearly eighteen
72
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.080
million across social platforms. I have to look that up
73
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.280
because I'm gonna guess that the President of the United
74
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.199
States is pretty influential and is on Twitter. But let
75
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.719
me say oh interesting. In twenty eleven, the New York
76
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.840
Times named him the most influential person on Twitter. That's
77
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.719
fifteen years ago. Has he been on the part of
78
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.479
Twitter that I never see because I'm on the part
79
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.319
where we're talking about the Mets and the Knicks. It's
80
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.439
fifteen years ago. All right, whatever, move on, John. He
81
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.240
has a different agency than the first two comedians. Ryan
82
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.520
Davis is a Charlotte native who debuted his latest stand
83
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.879
up special, under Rated, on the YouTube channel of comedian
84
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.959
Ali Sadiq in October, racked up two point three million views.
85
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.279
Bo Johnson, I know, Bo, I tell you a secret.
86
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.519
I recorded a whole interview with Bo and the audio
87
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.959
was bad and I couldn't fix it, and I really tried.
88
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.639
I used every trick I know. I felt so bad.
89
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.920
I just called up here. I see the file, Bo
90
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:37.439
dash Johnson, nine eleven, twenty four dot wave, I still
91
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.079
have it here. You want to hear a little, or
92
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.360
I'll pull a little for you. When I was starting,
93
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.360
or even found stand up was like everyday life humor
94
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.519
and Mitch Hedber is first comic. That's Bo Johnson. Wish
95
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.120
the audio was better to play the whole interview. He
96
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.000
was really cool. I really liked him a lot. Alright,
97
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.279
Who is he John? He's the Seattle native with a
98
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.600
compellingly low key delivery. Yeah, I watched a bunch of
99
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.759
his sets. In prep for the interview, I thought he
100
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.040
was fantastic. Deadline said they were gonna mention different comedians
101
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.480
that haven't been on every list. Jay Jorden, He's been
102
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.800
on lists. This is not an unknown person. Jay recently
103
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.160
released a strong debut special and Yes Ma'am, a fast paged,
104
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.959
punchline filled love letter to what it means to be black, Southern,
105
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.439
and queer. Produced by Comedy Dynamics. It premiered on Hulu
106
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.360
on November seventh. Next up, we have Oriyan Levine named
107
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.399
a new face It Just for Laughs comedy in twenty
108
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800
twenty two. I can't remember if I went that year,
109
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.040
and I can't remember if I saw Oriyan in his
110
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.360
Friday night live show Read the Room, Levin and a
111
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.519
Tarot card reader help answer life's burning questions from audience
112
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.360
members and celebrity guests. Who has sold out audience? Oh,
113
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.439
he's got that same agency that a lot of the
114
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.879
others have him. Interesting. Yesmeil Loofti, we've definitely talked about him.
115
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.639
He's got two Don't Tell comedy sets, a lot of
116
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.079
don't tell comedy on this list. That's interesting. He was
117
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.680
a writer on After Midnight Rami Yusef's animated series Number one,
118
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.839
Happy Family USA. Remember that happened? Because I forgot that happened.
119
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.199
You remember that happened? And Netflix's Patriotic Act with Hassan
120
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.279
Minhaj named a new face in twenty sixteen. Wow, Laura
121
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.800
Peak has emerged from Nashville's comedy scene was named a
122
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.759
new face for twenty twenty two. Now I'm convinced I
123
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.600
didn't go in twenty twenty two. I love this. I
124
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.240
love this phrasing again. If you understand how the multiverse works,
125
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.759
this may have been fed to them by an agency.
126
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.279
Here's the line. She has been seen on the road
127
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.079
with Taylor, Tomlinson, Fortune Fibster, and Theo Vaughn. Okay, I'm
128
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.360
gonna give you my credits. I've been seen on the
129
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.199
road with Jeff fox Worthy, Bill angvil Learry the Cable Guy,
130
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.160
Ron White, Jamie Fox, Jim Brewer, Pee Corielli. Let's see
131
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.560
Master Bronni been seen on the road with him. Weird phrasing,
132
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.519
all right, Mike Rice. The other Irish comic on the
133
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.720
list is Mike Rice, roommate and collaborator of Vittorio Angeloni.
134
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.839
Apparently they host a podcast Together, Mike Invitorio's Guide to Parenting,
135
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.519
his first special in twenty twenty three in Irish Disgrace
136
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.360
and what do you know? He's got the same agency.
137
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.120
That's weird. How far down this list? Am I? I
138
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.399
lost track? Looks like there's a lot left. Let's see
139
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.160
how four we get all right? Red Richardson is an
140
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.600
English stand up writer and actor with a looking style
141
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.360
not quite like any comedian Deadline has come across. He's
142
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.639
also from Don't Tell Comedy HMM, a regular performer at
143
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.639
Ricky Gervais's live shows under the banner of Ricky Gervas
144
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.720
and Friends. Richardson has also appeared in numerous comedy sketches
145
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.519
with Ricky Gervas and is affiliated with Ricky's vodka company,
146
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.439
Dutch Born. See That's what Jim Gaffigan needs to do
147
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.480
the Jim Gaffigan Bourbon Tour where Jim gets a bunch
148
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.360
of other guys to do stuff and then Jim shows
149
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.399
up and does like five minutes and tricks of bourbon.
150
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.759
There's money in that, Jim do it. Erica Rhodes, Deadline
151
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.879
says Erica Rhodes is one of those comics who's been
152
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.079
working for a long time, but never gets enough credit
153
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.759
for how good she is. Currently, she's on her Call
154
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.519
Me Crazy tour, also has a Don't Tell comedy set.
155
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.920
I'm seeing a trend here. She was a finalist on
156
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.000
NBC's Bring the Funny, where Jeff Foxworthy praised her is
157
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.959
the best defined comic voice of the competition. When was
158
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.600
NBC's Bring the Funny? When was that? Did I erase
159
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.439
that from my brain? I remember last comic Stanning because
160
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.240
I hated that. Because I was running the comedy channels
161
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.759
at Series sexem at the time. People will be like,
162
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.199
how can we not playing so and so. I'm like,
163
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.680
because so and so has eight seconds of material, which
164
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.199
you saw at NBC last night. That's why Bring the
165
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.279
Funny aired July ninth is September seventeenth, twenty nineteen. That's
166
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.839
just when I had started the podcast too. Huh. You
167
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.840
learned something new every day hosting the show. Next up,
168
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.679
Leah Rudick A right, we're up to the RS. I
169
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.200
guess that's one way I could tell how far I
170
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.840
am down the list. She began her comedy career in
171
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.679
New York with her sketch duo Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting
172
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.320
That's a Great Name, and co wrote and co starred
173
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.720
in both web series Made to Order and Sweet Parents.
174
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.759
We Are to keep an eye on Leah Rudik in
175
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.039

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.120
lot of other people in the list, Britney Schmidt. She's
182
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.039
been seen opening for the likes of Feo, Vonna Chris Read.
183
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.000
Schmid's rise has been fueled not only by the strength
184
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.279
of her comedy, but also by the spacisivity of her voice.
185
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.200
In her act, she speaks scantily about sobriety, relationships, womanhood, sexuality,
186
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.159
the strange, darkly funny corners of personal transformation, and more.
187
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.480
She's got different representation interesting. Usama Sidiki a Bengali American
188
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.559
stand up writer and actor based out of New York City.
189
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.039
Usama's jokes ranged from growing up Muslim in Texas, to

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.360

194
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.600
Laugh Albay Comedy Festival. A massive force in the areas
195
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.080
near New York City, but not within. Carolyn Hurst shouted
196
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.840

197
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.840

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.240

202
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.679

Carlin stand up and John Stewart on the Daily Show.
206
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.279
After the devastating Haitian earthquake in twenty ten, TJ realized
207
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.639
life was too short not to pursue his passion and
208
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.399
did his first open mic in a basement in the
209
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.600
Lower East Side of Manhattan. TJ has opened for Colin Quinn,
210
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:51.679
Janelle James, Maria Bamford, and Sean Patton. Aaron Weber fixture
211

212
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.799
Ole Opry, one of the co hosts of the Nateland Podcast.
213
00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.480
You may know some of the other names on the
214
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.240
Nateland Podcast. They include Brian Bates, Dusty Sleigh, and Nate Berghetzi.
215
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.440
So yeah, if you're hanging out with Nate all the time,
216
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.600
you're definitely somebody keep an eye on. We might as
217
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.360
well add Brian Bates to this list too, and we
218
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.960
already know about Dusty Slay. Aaron Weber released his first
219
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.120
half hour special signature dish with the eight hundred Pound Gorilla.
220
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.080
But we have more ws Brent Weinbach. Brent's been around
221
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.639
no deadline rights. While Brent Weinbach is a veteran of
222
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.960
the all comedy world, he nonetheless needs to be looked
223
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.440
at much more closely by the town. I assume the
224
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.279
town is Los Angeles. He's someone you could see breaking
225
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:31.840
out not only as a stand up but also in
226
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.840
film and TV with the right vehicle. Known for his
227
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:39.559
absurdist style, experimental delivery, meticulous joke writing, and highly original impressions,
228
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.840
Brent Weinbach was described by The New York Times Jason Zenniman,
229
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.840
we know him as akin to the nation Fielder of
230
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.039
the stand up world, all right. Also recipients of the
231
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.320
Andy Kaufman Award. And those are your stand ups to
232
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.799
watch in twenty twenty six, according to Deadline. And that
233
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.879
is your comedy news for today. Happy New Year. Tomorrow
234
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.639
on this program some thing. Hopefully someone will make some
235
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.639
comedy news otherwise, Mike Chizen, where are you? I gotta
236
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.559
have a conversation to fill some time. Let's record something
237
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.159
I don't know. There'll be a podcast tomorrow, there always is.
238
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.360
Don't worry to see you then,
