Is Nikki Glaser roast dodging? Mulaney Tour Review and Jim Gaffigan's favorite sandwich

Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac delivers daily comedy news, focusing on reactions to Nikki Glaser’s candid discussion of ethical non-monogamy and speculation that her team is steering her away from roasts (she’s in LA during the Kevin Hart roast but booked for Netflix Is a Joke). He cites a Minneapolis Star Tribune review of John Mulaney’s current tour highlighting risk-taking material and a mention of his $200 cash limit to avoid relapse. He recaps Jim Gaffigan’s sandwich talk with Stephen Colbert, previews Greg Gutfeld’s Fox Nation game show “What Did I Miss?” and notes late-night ratings where Gutfeld leads total viewers. He recounts seeing “Oslo” at Costco and a time-padding Q&A, flags a TMZ-reported Pete Davidson porn joke, covers UK concerns about relocating the Edinburgh TV Festival, highlights Melbourne Comedy Festival acts, and lists Austin’s Moontower Comedy Festival picks.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.439
Hey there, I'm Johenni Mack with your daily comedy news

3
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.599
and daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the

4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.679
comedy industry. I said, it's the algorithm loves and I

5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.079
can't remember enough to write down in the notes every day.

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.480
Cracked asked, are we learning a little too much about

7
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.879
Nicki Glazer? This reminds me I wanted to bring up.

8
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.399
When I was driving back from the Osco concert last

9
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.359
week with my daughter, we started talking about Nicky's revelations,

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.479
and I've been pulling my punches a little because, like

11
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.320
I'm a dude, and maybe I just don't get it.

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.759
I'm an old man. But my daughter, who's you know,

13
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.759
a cool gen zer, she was not into what Nicky

14
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.439
was selling at all. She's like, yeah, we don't need

15
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.159
to know any of that, And my daughter and I

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.920
are aligned. I hope Nicky's okay. It seems like Nicki

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.679
really really has self esteem issues. Cracked rights, what goes

18
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.039
on inside Nicki Glazer's bedroom is not the concern of

19
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.960
anybody besides her, her boyfriend and their potential side piece.

20
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.880
Anybody who's been around stand up comedians in the rough

21
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.640
Hours knows that, like any artistic community, comics tend to

22
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.480
be a kinky bunch. Some personal preferences are fittingly laughable,

23
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.000
some are uncomfortably extreme, but hey, so as long as

24
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.599
everyone's consenting, it's not our place to judge an artists

25
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.560
for their proclivities correct rights. At the same time, and

26
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640
arguably the most iconic roast comic of her generation goes

27
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.040
on call her Daddy and discusses her curiosity about the

28
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.920
increasingly popular ethical non monogamy lifestyle. She opens herself up

29
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.200
to all sorts of slams and burns from an online

30
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.000
comedy community that's eager to test out their own roasting skills.

31
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.599
Let me jump in there about the roasts. I was

32
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.480
thinking about this too, NICKI not doing the roast of

33
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.239
Kevin Hart. I don't think that's a scheduling thing. I

34
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.400
think that's the agent trying to steer her away from

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.359
being a roast comic and being the type of person

36
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.879
who hosts awards shows. Obviously, she's hosting the Golden Globes.

37
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.640
Somewhere in my travels, maybe it was the Town podcast

38
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.799
put in my head that maybe Conan doesn't want to

39
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.719
host the Oscars again. And maybe they'd consider Nicki Glazer.

40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.200
So I think this is the agent steering. I don't

41
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.920
know anything, that's just you know, I've been doing this

42
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.719
for a while and know how to read the tea leaves,

43
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.280
and that'd be my guess. Now, Yeah, I'm looking at this.

44
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.919
I was wondering if she's on tour. She's on tour.

45
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.439
You know where she is the week of the Kevin

46
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.840
Hart Roast. She's in Los Angeles at the Netflix, is

47
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.560
at Joe Comedy Festival, so she's in town. I'm sure

48
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.680
she could do a minute. I'm sure Jeff Ross and

49
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.199
the gang would write her a couple of lines. So

50
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.879
I think they're steering her away from this. Nicki does

51
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.159
have time to do The Night of Too Many Stars

52
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.159
May seventh, in LA at the Hollywood Bowl. Crack points

53
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.400
out Glazer never actually said that either she or her

54
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.800
boyfriend have actually acted on their non monogamous impulses, and

55
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.080
she only spoke about the exploration of their boundaries and

56
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.800
hypothetical situations. For all we know, the thought alone is

57
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.960
enough to get the blood pumping for these lovebirds, and

58
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.960
it'll never go further than that. Again, you do you

59
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.759
I just don't think the press on that one went

60
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.159
the way Nicky thought it was going to go. The

61
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.599
folks at the Minneapolis Star Tribune went to see John mulaney.

62
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.840
Minor spoilers for John's a current tour. Mister, whatever the

63
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.840
Star Trip tells U, John mulaney isn't afraid to take chances.

64
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.919
In the opener, John m'laney turned stand up tropes on

65
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.280
their heads for nearly two hours a marathon in the

66
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.319
stand up world, only pausing a couple of times to

67
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.560
sip water. Spoilers how he turned a bit on fatherhood

68
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.280
into an excuse to reflect on devil possession and rip

69
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.879
RFK Junior was a magic trick equal to anything you'd

70
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.479
see it a David Copperfield show. Lots of comics have

71
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.319
ripped on the Wizard of Oz, but how many have

72
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.639
targeted the black and white portions in which Ray Bolger

73
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.840
is less than convincing? Is a farm hand? That's good?

74
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.280
A bit about in laws turn into a rant about

75
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.520
how marrying Asian American actress Olivia Munn has resulted in

76
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.159
him financially supporting roughly a dozen Vietnamese Americans. Some other

77
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.520
material like his thoughts on how Jesus must have loved

78
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.400
posing for pictures. Seemed better suited for SNL, but there's

79
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.280
no way NBC censors would let him get away with

80
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.719
the language he used on stage. This is good because

81
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.000
I like to see comedians evolve, they tell us. John

82
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.159
mulaney did not dive into the part of his personal

83
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.000
past that has generated headlines, but he didn't ignore them either.

84
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.000
He revealed he's only allowed to carry two hundred dollars

85
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.560
in cash on them at any time, decreasing the chances

86
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.280
that'll revive his cocaine Habit sounds like it was a

87
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.479
good show. Jim Gaffigan was talking food on The Late

88
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.080
Show with star trek ruiner Stephen Colbert. We learned that

89
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.439
Jim Gaffigan's top choice is a classic pastrami sandwich from

90
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.479
Katz's Delicatessen in New York City. Then he added, if

91
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.560
you're in Chicago with nothing on your schedule, go for

92
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.800
an Italian beef from Mister Beef, where illuminatis how he

93
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.639
likes his hot beef. He says hot peppers. He also

94
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.680
pointed out it's messy, but that's part of the appeal

95
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.000
Chicago food. I'm fat enough, I would weigh four hundred

96
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.319
pounds if I lived out there. Those beef sandwiches are awesome.

97
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.600
I love the pizza. I'm not here to debate pizza

98
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.759
with you. I like it a lot. Colbert asked, what

99
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.439
do you do if you have plans after eating one

100
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.480
of the sandwiches? Yes, pro tip, having spent a lot

101
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.240
of time in Chicago, if you get one of those

102
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.920
beef sandwiches with the hot peppers, you want to have

103
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.600
a plan, you know what I mean? Like, maybe get

104
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.680
one and go back to the hotel room and work

105
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.720
on your comedy podcast scripts for a little bit, and

106
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:53.319
you know it's good to be back in the room.

107
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.600
Say no more, you know what I'm saying. Gaffigan said,

108
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.680
The problem is no one's ever eating a pastrami sandwich

109
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.360
and done anything. You have a pastrami sandwich and then

110
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.199
you're like goodbye. Greg gutfelds What did I Miss? Coming Back?

00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.920
New season April twenty seventh, three episodes hosted by Greg Gutfeld.

112
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.399
The premise of the show as a group of people

113
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.079
who isolated themselves in upstate New York with no access

114
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.519
to media, trying to determine which of the news headlines

115
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.839
cited by Gutfeld or real, Oh my goodness, can you

116
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.480
imagine if they've missed the last two weeks and some

117
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.759
of the things the President of the United States has

118
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.199
done on social media, They're not gonna believe any of it.

119
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.519
Oh No. Unfortunately this was filmed after Thanksgiving. Five contestants

120
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.920
were cut off from phones, internet, television, social media, along

121
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.519
with all communication from friends and family. They re entered

122
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.839
Socide after Valentine's Day and had to take a quiz

123
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.759
from Gutfeld about what happened in the world while they

124
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.319
were sequestered. Contestants compete for fifty thousand dollars. Guttfeld said,

125
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.879
against all logic, people volunteered to do this greasy game

126
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.279
show again, and the only thing standing between them and

127
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.800
victory is me. Can we just find somebody who's been

128
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.680
in like a coma for the last two weeks. I'd

129
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.720
like to just quiz that person and be like, hey, here,

130
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.079
I'll tell you I was talking about this with my

131
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.279
friends Trivia recently. I have this way of I can

132
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.079
convince people that I know what I'm talking about, and

133
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.959
the rest of the trivia team goes, yeah, that makes sense,

134
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.199
and they write it down and I was joking about

135
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.000
in three years if the trivia guys ask on Easter

136
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.279
Sunday the President of the United States mentioned this religious figure.

137
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.720
I'm going to convince everybody it's Jesus. And then somebody's

138
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.199
gonna go no, not who we mentioned. I'm gonna go

139
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.399
like that makes no sense. It was Easter, of course

140
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.000
he mentioned Jesus. But I digress, and somebody's gonna get

141
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.800
mad at me. Now. The Late Night Ratings star trek

Ruiner Stephen Colbert remains the most watched program at eleven

143
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.279
thirty five total viewers two point seven million. Future King

one point three three million. Gutfeld, which airs at ten

147
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.279
Eastern seven West, did three point three million. The Daily

Show is averaging one point one three million total viewers

149
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.519
at twelve thirty seven. Seth Myers has a show for

150
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.680
some reason. It's averaging a million total viewers. And that's

a night number until I tell you adults eighteen to

152

forty nine one hundred and thirty nine one thousand, not

153
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.560
that much more than this show. I'm a lot closer

154
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.040
to Seth Myers than Seth Myers is to Stephen Colbert.

155
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.240
Let's put it that way, and soon we'll all be

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.360
to mention I've had this story for a couple of times,

158
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.040
and then yesterday I was depressed about the death of

159
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.439
Raw Dog Comedy. A week or so ago, I went

160
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.279
to see Osco at Costco with my daughter. So I'm

161
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.000
a comedy snob, and my daughter works in the theater

162
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.519
industry and she knows how bookings work. And I had

163
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.399
mentioned on a previous episode Osco did four chunks that

164
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.120
total fifty eight minutes. Well, let me get you on

165
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.560
a little secret. There's a minimum time you have to

166
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.120
do to get paid, Like you can't walk out and

167
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.839
just do four minutes. So Osco gets to the end

168
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.639
and kind of looks over to the side of the

169
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.519
stage and somebody must have yelled out like, no, you

170
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.959
can't leave. So she kind of on the fly went, ah, hey,

171
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.319
how about we do some Q and A. And I've

172
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.680
seen plenty of comedians do Q and A. Jerry Seinfeld

173
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.800
does Q and A, and it's a good way to

174
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.879
pay your time, and the Q and A was actually

175
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.959
quite entertaining. But we were sitting there and I was

176
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.959
looking at the watch and my daughter told me what

177
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.079
the minimum probably was, seventy minutes, and I'm like, she's

178
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.800
got nine more minutes to kill And sure enough, as

179
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.040
soon as the clock struck ninety ten, it was like, Okay,

180
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.519
good night, everybody. I'm not ragging on OSCO. It's everybody.

181
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.240
But it was fun sitting in the audience knowing what

182
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.480
was really going on, but the civilians on the audience

183
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.199
enjoyed the Q and A. Here's a really weird one

184
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:33.480
from Pete Davidson. This via TMZ who right. According to

185
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:38.480
audio obtained by TMZ, Pete Davidson, who recently became a father,

186
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.320
joked during his comedy show on Saturday that becoming a

187
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:47.720
girl dad has complicated watching porn. TMZ, I'm gonna read

188
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.600
the sentence for batim and not put any spin on it.

189
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.559
TMZ wrote this sentence on stage at Las Vegas Mountain Blue.

190
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.200
Pete reportedly quipped that it's now hard to watch porn

191
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.200
in front of her. He kidded, I still did I

192
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.639
power through that. I mentioned that's a weird joke to make,

193
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.840
because it's that's a weird joke to make. Nick Muhammad

194
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.440
got in a dig at influencers. Nick was hosting the

195
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.360
Olivier Awards this at London's Royal albert Hall, you know

196
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.440
the one where they've counted all the holes. As he

197
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.960
opened up the ceremony, Nick Muhammad, you know Nick from

198
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.519
ted Lasso, he joked he had some housekeeping to do

199
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.039
and said, in case of any kind of emergencies please

200
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.519
can everyone leave in the following order, me, Helen Miren,

201
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.039
sir Ian McKellen, everyone else. And then influencers love it

202
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.000
so well, let's stay on that side of the pond,

203
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.159
as they say. Leading comedy executives fear that relocation of

204
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.440
the Edinburgh TV Festival would be a disaster for British talent.

205
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.120
They point out Fleabag, Baby, Reindeer, snl UK and Task

206
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.159
Master just a handful of shows that may have never

207
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.519
seen the light of day if it wasn't for the

208
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.399
Edinburgh at TV Festival's alchemy with the Edinburgh Fringe. Well,

209
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.559
the TV festival folks have invited Bits to relocate. Avalon

210
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.240
co founder John Today said relocation would be a disaster.

211
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.240
Look at the number of people who come over every

212
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.759
year from the American industry to Edinburgh. Think about Phoebe

213
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.720
wall Bridge or baby Reindeer. These connections were often made

214
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.600
with American executives hearing about them via the television festival.

215
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.039
What would be the point of Netflix, HBO or Warner

216
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.559
Brothers sending people to Newcastle to discuss things like the

217
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.600
funding of the BBC Let's fly around the world. Down

218
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.799
in Melbourne, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival continues. You got

219
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.759
a clip for a year? This is Ian Smith. Ian's

220
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.720
show is called foot spa half empty my house.

221
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.039
He's weird, thirty five years old. Still draws a little

222
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.320
line on his milk in market pen to know where

223
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.919
the level was. I think that's stupid, but I get

224
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.320
my own back. I buy my own milk and I

225
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.240
use that to top his milk cup, just above the line.

226
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.879
It's confused. He's looking at it. He thinks the milk

227
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.559
is growing. I off sat and watched him google the

228
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.200
phrase does milk expand.

229
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.879
Good stuff? There from Ian Smith. The Guardian went to

230
00:10:55.919 --> 00:11:01.279
see Anissa Nondula her show No Small Talk's Fun with

231
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.320
the rising star of Australian comedy. Anissa and Andula is

232
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.960
a Ugandan Australian comedian. The Guardian tells us from the

233
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.519
moment she bounds on stage. Adula's energy is infectious. She's

234
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.919
almost aggressively bubbly, her demeanor a counterpoint to the dryness

235
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.559
she sees in the Australian sense of humor. I pulled

236
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.399
a clip. Should we listen? We should listen? Hello.

237
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.360
My name's Anissa. I got called a lot of names

238
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.320
in school, but I could never get upset because the

239
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.720
names were pretty good. In school, I had a massive afro.

240
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.240
My best friend was gay. They called us the two Puffs.

241
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.039
I wrote my Australian boyfriend to Kenya for the first time,

242
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.960
and they kept calling him Muzungu, which means white person.

243
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.440
And I was like, no, no, no, no, Asian. How

244
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.200
do you say Asian in your language? And this Kenyan

245
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.200
woman was like.

246
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.720
Ah, China.

247
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.480
She was in Kenya.

248
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.879
We have black and white, and anything I don't quite

249
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:15.279
understand falls into China, Irenian, China, Uzbekistan, China, Brazilian sexy China.

250
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.600
That's pretty good, right, We're told she started as a

251
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.159
slam poet. Her reliance on the audience has never mean

252
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.480
spirited or unkind, but it will still be a detern

253
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.519
for many. If you're brave enough to sit at the front,

254
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.080
you'd better be ready to share Anisa and Andula's no

255
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:33.360
small talk at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival until April nineteenth.

256
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.559
You better get on that plane. Brett Mackenzie closed out

257
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.080
his Freak Out City, New Zealand tour at Auckland's Hollywood

258
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:44.200
Avondale two hours of music and mirth. You know Brett

259
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.639
Mackenzie from Flight of the Concords who we're talking about.

260
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.559
A lot with a two piece horn section and two

261
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.559
backing vocalists. The band is versatile enough to handle anything

262
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.679
Brett Mackenzie throws at them. This became clear when Mackenzie

263
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.440
wrote a song on the spot based on the story

264
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.960
somebody in the audience shout it out. I'm looking at

265
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.559
the set list here. If you were hoping to hear

266
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.080
Flight of the Concord's hits, I don't think you got them.

267
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.799
Mack Packer Tom Cavanaugh joins Tony Danza and Michael Longfellow

268
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.600
in Broken Snow eight sens psychological drama set inside an

269
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:17.440
abandoned snowbound house. They are two strangers, Jeames, a volatile drifter,

270
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.559
and Steven, a tightly controlled officer, discover they share a

271
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.159
dark formilia connection, pretty dark for some people, known to

272
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.600
be pretty funny. Broken Snow opens on the nineteenth and

273
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.679
runs through May twenty third, Theater seventy one in New

274
