1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.880
Calaroga Shark Media from Montreal. I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.599
daily comedy news. I just walked out of New Faces

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.640
one and a much smaller theater than they've had in

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.519
the past. It was filled, but I've been in much

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.839
bigger venues for New Faces. But I've also been in

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.600
smaller venues, like fifteen years ago. It was in a

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.160
pretty small room and then it got big. And this

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.359
is the reconstituted festival. Your host for the show, John

9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.479
Marco Saraisi, and that had me thinking, uh, they used

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:36.280
to have Pete Holmes.

11
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.399
Well, Jamarco actually addressed.

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.920
That and got some laughs out of the festival going bankrupt.

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.920
And now you don't get Pete Homes, you get Jem Marco.

14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.159
He was really good. They made it quite clear it

15
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.280
was a TV taping. Now. What was really really interesting

16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.439
to me. They had us tape fake laughs. They had

17
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.479
to stew a chuckle, a medium laugh, They had to

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.119
stew a hoot and holler, so planning on adding laughs

19
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.600
and they very well may have to.

20
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:04.920
Did I just give away the lead here? Yeah?

21
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.879
They also kept the lights up for the most part.

22
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.879
I was taking notes. I've got my notebook here in

23
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.280
my left hand and could perfectly see, which kind of

24
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.599
surprised me. I thought I was gonna have to use

25
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.719
the red light on my Apple Watch.

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.000
All right.

27
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.159
So first up always tough spots, because you know you

28
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.640
got to win the crowd over. Alistair Ogden, he's out

29
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.480
of Toronto, came out, was kind of low energy and

30
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.120
I was like, oh, this is gonna be tough. But

31
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.079
you know what, he was best of the night of

32
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.239
the ten. First up, the winner, Alistair Ogdo. I'm not

33
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.799
supposed to say winter, sorry, Alistair Ogden, not the winner,

34
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.959
just you know, best of the ten. Second up, out

35
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000
of Massachusetts, Maggie Crane. I wrote a charismatic but she's

36
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.359
not ready. The materials not really there and one of

37
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.200
two comics during the night. I hear a nikky Glazer

38
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:58.439
Cadence creeping into comedy now. And Maggie's out of Massachusetts,

39
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.920
so it's not a regional thing. She might be one

40
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.840
to keep an eye on, but like I wrote, the

41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.599
material is not there yet. Third, Devontrey Coleman. He might

42
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.319
be a writer. The material is really good. The performance

43
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.560
is a little too slow and he was reciting it,

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:16.560
not performing it.

45
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.360
If you know what I mean.

46
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.639
The crowd loved him though, and I'm an admitted comedy snob,

47
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.960
so he had a pretty good night. Number four to

48
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.759
the UK Chloe Pettis. I think it is I wrote Pets,

49
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.000
but I believe it's Pettis again. You hear the band

50
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.120
behind me. I'm recording on the street. Nice good set.

51
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.639
She's very likable. Nothing extraordinary but solid. Fifth up Bruce

52
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.439
Gray out of California. This was to me surreal. It

53
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.400
was like every club comic all merged and became one person.

54
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.560
It was like if you had a movie and you

55
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.520
needed a guy to play the comic, you would hire

56
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.919
Bruce Gray, and maybe that is his future. I actually

57
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.719
looked over my shoulder to check the light. Oh, I

58
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.039
meant to point out Alistair Ogden in the first spot

59
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.759
he ran the light to the degree that they were

60
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.319
flashing the spot to get him off.

61
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:04.960
He was way over.

62
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.439
But during Bruce Gray, everybody doing supposedly six minute sets,

63
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.639
I kept checking my shoulder, like is the light on? Yet?

64
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.280
Is the light on?

65
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.360
It? Not that it was bad, but it was just

66
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.560
like okay, club comic. It didn't feel new facy to me.

67
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.479
Olivia Stadler drew the sixth spot. She's out of Toronto

68
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.400
also had that. Nikki Glazer Kneson kept doing that, you

69
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.439
know what I mean. So again, it's not a regional thing.

70
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.919
She's out of Toronto and Maggie Crane's out of Massachusetts,

71
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.960
so I don't know what. I don't know what's going

72
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.840
on that people are just doing that. She was kind

73
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.000
of flat and the crowd was not into it. Probably

74
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.360
the roughestraw of the night. John Marco came out after

75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.159
her set, and in between the others, he was just

76
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.360
kind of going, next up out of New Jersey, here's

77
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.599
Johnny McK But after her set he actually did some

78
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.360
material to kind of pull the crowd back. In number

79
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.560
seven out of Manchester, Dan Tiernan very stylized, and I

80
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.879
always find the stylized comics to be shooting stars. He

81
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.879
was up joking about his face and that got me wondering, Okay,

82
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.000
but you're gonna have a career making just jokes about

83
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.800
your face. That's a good ninety seconds. I wrote it

84
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.720
here in my notebook, stylized can't last, but I'll tell you,

85
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.879
and I'm a comedy snab.

86
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.319
The crowd loved him.

87
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.040
He had a good, nice eight spot out of Queens,

88
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.399
New York, where I'm from, Grace Johnson. I'm not in

89
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.319
a bad mood at all, but I wrote it sounded

90
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.839
like the idea of a comedy set. So like earlier

91
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.439
where I said Devontre Coleman had the material but not

92
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.079
the performance. She's got the performance but not the material.

93
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.439
Maybe they should team up. Nine out of Philadelphia Connor Agenda.

94
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.120
I wrote, he's fine.

95
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.839
I did check the light twice on him, and in

96
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.920
the tense spot, Hey, Sue's Subulvida out of Arizona. I

97
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.319
was kind of excited when he came out, and I

98
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:53.839
just had a feeling he was going to be good.

99
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.439
My notes here a good performer, material not there. So

100
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.560
that's New Face is one one out of ten. Usually

101
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.279
it's three or four out of ten. It is now

102
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.480
nine to two pm, and I'm going to hit the

103
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.360
nine thirty show, and I'm hoping that show will be

104
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.319
better than New Faces one little subpar.

105
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.160
Let me talk to you about the festival while we're here.

106
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.160
It feels normal to me walking around town. It looks

107
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.040
like the festival. The usual theaters have the usual shows. Personally,

108
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.720
I have discovered neighborhoods that I hadn't been over to

109
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.279
in past festivals, including where I am tonight?

110
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.399
What street are we on? Saint Dennis? And apparently there's

111
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.560
a cool restaurant.

112
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.160
Scene over here that usually in the past for the festival,

113
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.279
We've been more over to the west. I think, if

114
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.279
my geography is correct, more over towards Mount Royal, so

115
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.040
we're a little east. I think if I have the

116
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.839
geography anyway, we're more over in this direction.

117
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.319
And it's a cool part of town that I hadn't

118
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.079
been to before.

119
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.920
Got a bit of news here that I'm reading off

120
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.000
my notepad again. Sorry, this first half year isn't as

121
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.680
polished as normally standing on a street. They are going

122
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.800
to give the Podcast of the Year award here at

123
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.439
the festival to the Handsome Podcast, which features Tichnitar of Fortune,

124
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.560
Themester and May Martin.

125
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:14.920
I know May is here.

126
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.079
Fortune was hosting Kimmel, so I don't know if the

127
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.720
other two were here, but that will be awarded on Friday.

128
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.879
Ryan Reynolds will present the Generation Award to Rob Mack

129
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.360
formerly known as Rob McIlhenny That's so funny. Roy Would

130
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.319
Junior will present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Amazon's Clean

131
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.199
Slate comedy co star George Wallace. Rising Comedy Star of

132
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.360
the Year will go to Hannah Berner, and festival programmers

133
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.759
have announced that Kat Cohen has joined the Awards show

134
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.600
lineup as presenter, while Matthew Brissard, who's been a guest

135
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.160
on this program, will mc the prize giving event.

136
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:48.600
Hey, let's see if I can do a.

137
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.920
Story from a web browser while standing on a corner

138
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.680
from The Daily Mail, Comedian and podcaster Andrew Schultz as

139
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.560
objected to Dave Portnoy's criticism of New York mayor old

140
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.000
candidate Zohann Donnie, not for political reasons, but because he

141
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.279
sees Portnoy as a non New Yorker. Andrew Schultz was

142
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.199
on the internet show Breaking Points and said, if you're

143
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.720
not spending fifty one percent of your time in the city,

144
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.399
you're not committed. Schultz said, it's like Portnoy. You just

145
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.560
say you're upset about the Israel stuff. You don't live

146
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.639
in New York. Stop acting like you care for a socialist

147
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.680
communist runs New York. You're upset because he said globalize

148
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.399
the infantata. Just make it about that. You're allowed to

149
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.160
make it about that Portnoy has apparently responded by revealing

150
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.959
private text messages. That's not cool that according to these texts,

151
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.879
if they are real, show Schultz attacking the New York

152
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.800
First candidate for his economic views. In response to Schultz

153
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.079
calling Portnoy out saying he should stop acting, Portnoy wrote,

154
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.319
if if anybody's acting, it ain't me. The alleged chext

155
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.079
Schultz allegedly wrote, I hate his policies. I think it

156
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.480
wants to help, but he's just wrong on the way

157
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.639
he's trying to help. All Right, we'll take the break

158
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.199

at nine, with a lot of big people in town.

170
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.440
That could be a real winner. Nathan McIntosh at nine,

171
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.279

at ten, Steph Tolev at eleven thirty. That's fun. I'd

176
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.480
never be able to stay awake that long midnight surprise

177
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.120
at Night's stamptown at Midnight's Okay, let's take a look

178
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.240
at tonight's lineup. Got the new phases at one and

179
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.639
three point thirty, then maybe an early dinner and a

180
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.240
couple of beverages. Maybe brits Ish at seven. Hate to

181
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.600
skip Brad Williams, but I think bet on Adam Ray

182
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.679
at nine, and if you've got anything left in you,

183
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.960
Steph Tolev's not my cup of tea. I might walk

184
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.759
you over to Steph Tolev and head off to bed.

185
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.679
That's a good Night of Comedy Now. The other day

186
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.639
I gave you varieties list of the comics to watch.

187
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.879
B ET reacted to it. They actually reacted a full

188
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.559
week ago. It's been pretty busy. In case you haven't noticed,

189
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.879
they have the headline the Real Ones Black comedians and

190
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.519
writers who actually shaped comedy this year, they wrote, while

191
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.759
Variety played the diversity version of Where's Waldough, we did

192
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.039
what needed to be done. From Emmy winners to viral disruptors,

193
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.840
here are the black comedic voices keeping the culture clever, cutting,

194
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.360
and undeniably funny. No tokenism required, bet Rights. When Variety

195
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.799
released its Top Comics and Comedy Writers of twenty twenty

196
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.840
five list, I'm not even gonna give them a link back,

197
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.919
which was as diverse as a miracle whip sandwich. Accorded

198
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.960
to them, Comedy in twenty twenty five is a white's

199
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.000
only party with maybe one or two brown guests who

200
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.399
brought their own folding chairs. Not a single black comic

201
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.879
made the cut, not one. This is just an oversight.

202
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.360
It's eraser. It's proof that black comic can sell out arenas,

203
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.919
carry Emmy winning shows, break the internet with stand up clips,

204
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.600
redefined satire, and still get left off the list unless

205
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.399
they're dead or hosting a reboot. So here's our list.

206
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.799
Quin To Brunson. Quent To made Abbot Elementary, a primetime juggernaut,

207
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.960
proving that a sitcom led by a black woman about

208
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.480
black teachers in a black Philly public school could be smart, funny,

209
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.320
and award winning all at once. Natasha Rothwell from Insecure

210
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.919
to The White Lotus. Natasha doesn't just play characters. She

211
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.600
steals entire scenes, rewrites your expectations, and leaves you begging

212
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.919
for more. Geord Carmichael. He's the kind of comic who

213
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.120
lets you laugh and rethink everything you thought you knew

214
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.000
about what a stand up could be. Sam Jay Her

215
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.279
show Paused with Sam Jay bent the talk show format

216
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.200
like a pretzel. Plus, she's behind some of the sharpest

217
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.879
sketches on SNL before she dip. Nicole Bayer actress, comedian,

218
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.320
podcast host. She's everywhere. Josh Johnson. You know this is

219
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.879
a very very strong list. Yes, Variety mentioned him barely.

220
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.919
They lumped Josh in of the Daily Show's news team

221
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.080
trio like he didn't have a whole successful stand up career,

222
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.279
multiple specials and one of the most thoughtful comedic voices

223
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.799
out Right Now. Langston Kerman a master of dry wit

224
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.639
and absurdity. Langston balances stand up acting and two of

225
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.399
the most underrated black comedies in recent history. Bust Down

226
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.080
on South Side. Janelle James forgets Scene Steeler, she ran

227
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.799
away with Abbot Elementary. Her stand up is smart and salty,

228
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.879
and her voice in comedy is only getting louder and

229
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.600
more necessary. Ze Way is now canceled. Showtime series was

230
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.360
cultural satire and a rhinestone glove. She weaponized awkwardness, flip

231
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.720
privilege in the punch lines and made interviewers nervous again.

232
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.679
Chris read post SNL He's thriving His HBO special WIME.

233
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.159
I Like This was brutally funny and heartfelt. Dwayne Perkins,

234
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.320
co writer and star of The Blackening, a horror spoof

235
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.720
that was actually hilarious. Jessica Williams, once The Daily Show's

236
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.039
youngest correspondent, now doing layered comedy and shrink. I You

237
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.200
at a Berry from the famous comedy show The Bear.

238
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.559
She's nerdy, nervy, and a natural. Naomi ek peragid whether

239
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.240
on Couple's Therapy or myth the Quest, Naomi's comedy always

240
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.279
mixes heart and hella insight. Lacey Mosley scam Goddess, stays funny,

241
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.799
fast and flawlessly black. Lacy brings comedy in a true

242
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.679
crime and keeps it cute and criminal. Jermaine Faller his

243
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.879
underrated performance in Coming to American Voice work and BoJack

244
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.519
Horseman show his range, his stand up slept on a

245
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.639
sharp Amber ruffin Late Night's Secret Weapon. They cite the

246
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.120
Amber Ruffin show where her signature combo of bubbly energy

247
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.080
and biting satshire proved you can be a storming and

248
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.320
devastating in the same breath. Great list, and they write

249
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.639
so while Variety keeps handing out gold stars in a

250
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.480
whites only echo, Chamber will keep writing, performing, producing, and

251
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.720
rewriting the rules. Very good list. As you know, I've

252
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.440
left the country because of the release of Happy Gilmore Too.

253
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.320
I mean, with everything going on in the world, this

254
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.240
was the final straw for me. If We're going to

255
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.360
make sequels to terrible Adam Sandler movies, I just can't

256
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.360
be part of it anymore. So that's why I've moved

257
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.840
here to Canada, where I'm just living in Montreal. Us

258
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.759
Bank has teamed up with Netflix for a sponsorship deal.

259
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.159
Quote a move designed to win over younger audiences with

260
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.519
a blend of humor and nostalgia. This from adweek. US

261
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.639
Bank is the title sponsor for the fictional Tour Championship

262
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.960
golf tournament in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore Too, whis logo

263
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.279
would be splashed across banners throughout the movie. It even

264
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.320
appears on the bib of Happy's caddy. I don't want

265
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.840
to tell you who will play the caddy. It's an

266
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.159
interesting choice, but I don't want to spoil Happy Gilmore

267
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.519
two for you. Other brands in Happy Gilmore Too include

268
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:41.559
Subway and Callaway. Can't wait for that movie? Huh. Here

269
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.200
in Canada, Steph Tolev talked to our national broadcaster, the CBC.

270
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.240
Steph Tolev said, a lot of weird, gross things normally

271
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.159
happen to me, especially in my sex life, Like I

272
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.080
got choked in a basement, I fooled around with sixty

273
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.559
five year old man. Nothing is made up. She's out

274
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.840
to prove it's okay for people, especially women, to talk

275
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.080
about their bodies openly. Steph says, I think when women

276
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.360
are together with themselves, they're like this, I'm just trying

277
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.279
to give voice to people so they can feel more comfortable.

278
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.360
And I'm not saying anything that people don't normally say

279
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.200
or do, like I'm just talking out loud about bodily

280
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.000
functions that we all do every day. Tolllev asked a

281
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.879
woman in the audience the last time she fought in

282
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.559
front of her husband. The woman said it had been

283
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.200
fifty years. Steph said, I was like, what is happening?

284
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.240
How can you live like this? Steph says internet trolls

285
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.679
can be cruel to female comedians. She says, personally, I'm

286
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.840
not that confident. I still read the comments and sometimes

287
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.720
I cry because they're so mean. But I think when

288
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.799
I'm on stage, I just feel I don't know different power,

289
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:32.919
and I don't feel self conscious when I'm up there,

290
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.679
But the second I get off, I'm still a normal gal.

291
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.080
When it comes to her own comedy and crowd work,

292
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.320
I never make fun of anyone's physical appearance because I

293
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:40.840
don't find that funny. If you've seen a clip of

294
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.039
me where I'm coming at somebody kind of hard, it's

295
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.279
because they've done something, like they've heckled, or they've been

296
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.360
rude to other comedians. I don't want to upset anybody.

297
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.840
I'm tormented in a lot of ways, but I'm not mean.

298
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.240
Roy Wood Junior told the San Francisco Chronicle that former

299
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.559
mayor Willie Brown showed up at a show. However, would

300
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:00.559
post it on Twitter. WILLI I do shut up to

301
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.480
my sold out at San Francisco shows once and told

302
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.240
the doorman Willy Brown on every list, he was not

303
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.919
on my list. Still, they gave him a free ticket.

304
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.600
According to Wood, Brown said, you just met Willy Brown.

305
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.559
You want a Pictureparently, mister Brown picked up a CD

306
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.759
and took it without paying. Wood said, no date, no homeboys,

307
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.039
no security detail, just the mayor out by himself, showing

308
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.480
up for your show for free and stealing your stuff.

309
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.840
He was so charming I couldn't even be mad. A

310
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.000
new feature documentary on the career of Joan Rivers is

311
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.320
in production, selated for release in twenty twenty six. Joan's

312
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.720
daughter Melissa, is part of the project untitled Joan Rivers.

313
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.159
Project will draw from Joe Rivers's personal archive, including newly

314
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.440
unearthed home videos and hundreds of hours of previously unreleased

315
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.679
comedy recordings and audio tapes. Melissa in a statement said

316
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.240
now feels like the right time to look at why

317
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.360
my mother's voice still resonates today. Hers is not only

318
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.440
the story of a trailblazer, but of a real woman

319
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.399
trying to navigate the life of conflicting desires and how

320
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.200
that shaped her hilarious view of the world. And that

321
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.240
from Canada is your comedy news were today see tomorrow.
